Mortgage Update | Stocks Rebound As Fed Begins Buying Individual Corporate Bonds
On Monday, the FED announced that they would begin buying individual corporate bonds which immediately resulted in a bump in the stock market. As prices were pushed higher, interest rates decreased.
Timing couldn’t be better for Sellers to list. Low interest rates coupled with rising consumer confidence is creating a huge demand for housing. Medium home prices continue to rise. In fact, they shot up 4.3% year over year in the week ending June 6, according to a recent Realtor.com® report. Today's housing environment has low vacancy and delinquency rates and a large home equity cushion.
A lack of available inventory combined with record-low mortgage interest rates is resulting in buyers continuing to return to the market en masse and sellers being able to list their homes for higher prices.
Rates fell below 3%, to hit an all-time low of 2.94% for 30-year fixed-rate loans on Thursday, according to Mortgage News Daily. For the past three weeks, the number of buyers applying for purchase mortgages rose year over year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. Applications shot up 12.7% annually in the week ending June 5. They were also up 15% from the previous week.
