Mortgage rates managed to hold steady today after moving up to the highest levels in more than 5 months yesterday. Rates had moved close to current levels even before the Fed rate hike earlier this month. Since then, they've been sideways overall, with a good balance between better and worse days. Yesterday's move higher finally upset that balance. For the first time since late November, rates are starting to look more predisposed to moving higher . There is a major caveat though. Mortgage rates are driven by the prices of mortgage-backed-securities (MBS), which are part of the broader bond market. Given the fact that bond markets often experience serendipitous volatility at the end of the year, we could take any end-of-year move with a grain of salt. That doesn't mean rates will necessarily...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

The Multi-Indicator Market Index (MiMi) produced by Freddie Mac's Office of the Chief Economist shows that the U.S. housing market is within the outer range of being considered stable. The national value of the index improved by 0.59 percent from September to October and has gained 1.54 percent over the last three months. The MiMi in October stood at 81.9. On a year-over-year basis, the national MiMi value has improved +6.31 percent. Since its all-time low in October 2010, it has rebounded by 38 percent, but remains significantly off its high of 121.7. Two additional states-New York and Kansas-entered their outer range of stable housing activity, as did three more metro areas: New York, New York; Minneapolis, Minnesota and Palm Bay, Florida. Freddie Mac Deputy Chief Economist Len Kiefer said...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Pending home sales dipped slightly in November, the third time in four months they have done so. The National Association of Realtors® (NAR's) Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) was down 0.9 percent from October to 106.9. The November 2015 PHSI, which is based on contracts signed during the month to purchase homes, was 2.7 percent above the November 2014 level of 104.1. Although the index has increased on an annual basis for 15 consecutive months, November's 12 month gain was the smallest since October 2014 when the increase was 2.6 percent. Modest gains in the Midwest and South were offset by larger declines in the Northeast and West. NAR revised its October PHSI upward from its original estimate of 107.7 to 107.9. October was already the only month in the last four in which the index had...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Death is rarely funny, and the aftermath can be even worse. But here's an interesting twist on things. Even in our digital world where e-mortgages should be in the not-too-distant future, paper is still king when it comes to life and death - that is, birth certificates and death certificates. "Some states, including South Carolina and California, use a certain security enabled paper to print those records. And that paper is suddenly in short supply. The Ohio company that produced it for years unexpectedly shut down last summer." Tell some family they will have to wait for a death certificate ...

Bond markets--especially Treasuries--had one of their worst days of the month yesterday. Or maybe they didn't... It's hard to say for sure when volumes were about half that of an average day and roughly 1/3rd of the average NFP day. Not only that, but we also know there are far fewer active market participants this time of year. Finally, we also know that trading is less motivated by organic, long-term considerations and more by end-of-year housekeeping needs. In other words, there's always some chance that days like yesterday were/are purely incidental and January's trading will be January's trading either way. Of course, if January's trading is bad for bonds, yesterday will end up looking like an ominous forewarning . But in order for it to truly be that sort of coal...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Treasuries were significantly weaker today as oil, Europe, and equities all bounced higher. The move was led by a reversal in European bond markets in the morning and by a weak 5yr Treasury auction in the afternoon. In fact, until the auction, bonds simply looked to be giving back yesterday's Europe-inspired gains. The fallout from the auction was good for another 3-4 bps of weakness in 10yr yields. MBS held their ground admirably, but more so in the morning hours. Before the auction, Fannie 3.5s and 3.0s had managed to hold inside yesterday's range (Treasuries were already well beyond theirs). All bets were off after the auction. Treasury yields moved sharply higher and MBS couldn't help but be dragged down. For what it's worth, volume remained "holiday light," with...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Mortgage rates moved slightly highe r today. While it wasn't a big move in the grand scheme of things, rates were already fairly close to their highest levels since early July . For most lenders, that means conventional 30yr fixed rates in the 4.125-4.25% range for top tier scenarios. The day began decently enough, with underlying bond markets mostly holding their ground--especially the mortgage-backed-securities (MBS) that dictate mortgage rates. The first rate sheets of the day were actually in line with--or slightly better than--yesterday's latest rate sheets. As the day progressed, MBS were eventually pulled down by significant weakness in the Treasury market, resulting in mid-day 'reprices' from most lenders. While this move higher could merely be an incidental byproduct of the year-end...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Home prices continue to confound predictions of decelerating gains. The S&P/Case-Shiller National Home Price Index gained 5.2 percent over the 12 months period ended in October - up from the 4.9 percent gain reported for year-over-year for September. The Index, which covers all nine U.S. census divisions, was up 0.1 percent from September to October this year. Case-Shiller's 10-City Composite Index increased on a year-over-year basis by 5.2 percent compared to a 12-month gain in September of 4.9 percent. The 20-City also accelerated from the previous month with an annual gain of 5.5 percent versus 5.4 percent in September. Twelve of the 20 cities covered by Case-Shiller had greater annual price gains in October than in September. San Francisco, Denver, and Portland (Oregon) continue to...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.

Are you reading this while figuring out what you're going to do New Year's Eve? The latest research studies find it is nearly impossible for our brains, given the way they are designed, to handle 2 tasks at the same time. Doing so increases the error rate by up to 50% and doubles the length of time needed to complete the task. But that doesn't apply to me, since I regularly simultaneously talk on the phone, listen to the radio, take notes while driving & steer with my knees. Of course anyone can sue anyone else at practically any time. Harking back to a root cause of the 2008 global financial meltdown, Commerzbank has filed a lawsuit against four US banks charging negligence over toxic mortgage-backed securities. The German lender maintains that Bank of New York Mellon and units of Deutsche...(read more )Forward this article via email: Send a copy of this story to someone you know that may want to read it.
