We feel that near term price action will focus on further downside (higher Austin mortgage rates/worse pricing) as we have yet to find a bottom
We feel that near term price action will focus on further downside (higher Austin mortgage rates/worse pricing) as we have yet to find a bottom. If there is a ray of hope, it will be that the 10 year note can hold at or below 2.95% (currently 2.93%). Best bet for Texas mortgage borrowers is to stay defensive. Before the market picks your pocket, lock your mortgage loans with the float down option (“option to lower your interest rate one time”)! Continue reading

Throw all the factors together and you can make a good case for the market and Austin mortgage pricing to stall unit early November’s elections and FOMC meeting
We see the set up as neutral, given a multitude of bearish divergences on one side and Fed Chief Bernanke and his dollar printing press on the other. Throw all the factors together and you can make a good case for the market and Austin mortgage pricing to stall unit early November’s elections and FOMC meeting. Continue reading
We’ll give the 10 year note auction a B, not to hot, not to cold, but just right considering yesterday’s disaster

Time for Austin mortgage borrowers to get a little defensive, looking to Friday’s employment report for a little more economic clarity
One report doesn’t turn the trend but at the same time, we have been warning about topping action and poor risk reward in gambling with this market.
