Weekly Mortgage Market Update – 6.27.2011
Posted On June 27th, 2011 by Gale | Comments ClosedStraight Stats
Mortgage interest rates improved slightly on the week with limited new economic data for markets to digest. Of note, May Existing Home Sales and New Home Sales were down, but not as much as expected. Weekly jobless claims increased more than expected, up 9k to 429k claims. The final look at Q1 GDP showed annualized growth of 1.9%, slightly higher than the 1.8% expected. May Durable Goods Orders were up 1.9% on expectations that they would be up 1.0%. The Fed’s FOMC meeting concluded on Wednesday. As expected, the Fed left the Fed Funds rate unchanged. Also, the Fed indicated that it will not engage in a third round of quantitative easing. It appears that the EU and IMF have agreed to a bail-out package for Greece. However, Greece must pass $118 billion of austerity measures through parliament. Read the rest of this entry »

Mortgage interest rates were flat week over week on mixed economic data but volatility was high. Economic data stronger than expected included May Retail Sales, weekly jobless claims, May Housing Starts and Building Permits, and May Leading Economic Indicators. Economic data weaker than expected included April Business Inventories, the June New York Empire State Manufacturing Index, May Industrial Production and Capacity Utilization, the June NAHB Housing Market Index, the June Philadelphia Fed Business Index, and the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index. The New York Empire State Manufacturing Index and the Philadelphia Fed Business Index fell to levels indicating contraction in both sectors. Also of note, the May Producer Price Index (PPI) and the May Consumer Price Index (CPI) were in line with expectations. Read the rest of this entry »
Commercial Market Update – 6.16.2011
Posted On June 16th, 2011 by Eric | Comments ClosedThe market started out better at the beginning of the year but has since cooled the last two months.
A jobless recovery will not pull the market back up. My sense is that landlords and business owners have made it through the darkest part of the recession and even though we are pulling out of it, they have to let their projects and/or business go. They can no longer hang on.

Weekly Mortgage Update – 6.13.2011

The 10-year T-note has held a new, lower range 2.95%-3.05%, pulling low-fee loans closer to 4.50% but not quite there. Although a bad idea to gamble with rates so low, the trend is down. All economic data show a new US “soft patch” beginning in April; China may be slowing more than expected in its fight against inflation; and Europe’s interminable can-kicking is closer to dominoes. In the last week, the most important event was Chairman Bernanke’s speech acknowledging the slowdown, insisting that the economy would pick up in the second half of the year, and making clear that the Fed has no plans for new stimulus. Some interpret that speech as confirmation that the Fed has shot its wad; others take it a face value, but disbelieve the happy outlook; and nobody found reassurance. NYFed President Bill Dudley today delivered a carbon copy with explanations of why the economy should do better, an unimpressive list continuing the authorities’ quite fantastic obliviousness to the damage done by faltering housing and credit tighter than any in modern times.
