Today marked the first FED meeting since December 16th when they announced the FED would be aggressively buying mortgage backed securities through the first 6 months of 2009.

The news was as expected with rates remaining unchanged and a commitment to keep them unchanged until further notice.

The bond market reacted negatively to the news as it is seen as a positive for the economy. Bond traders are selling this afternoon

and buying into the stock market which seems to be having a good day fueled by the financial stocks.

This of course means that mortgage rates will be worse tomorrow due to the late sell off this afternoon.

If you would like to get pre-approved for a purchase or refinance, please call 850-221-8334 anytime.

30 Yr Fixed Mtg	4.875%
15 Yr Fixed Mtg	4.750%
30 Yr FHA	4.875%

1 Lambros Real January 29, 2009 at 3:06 am: Mortgage rates are being changed day by day. Having an interest rate that is low, makes now a great time to look into buying a home.
2 steverussell January 29, 2009 at 6:50 am: There is no question that this is an excellent time to buy a home. For many, the concern seems to be with the economy and potential for job loss.

Ironically, it is this same uncertainty that feeds the bond market making rates as appealing as they are today. When the economy recovers, so will the stock market (the arch nemesis of the bond market).

5 Antony Lexington from Home loan November 6, 2009 at 9:19 pm: Good explanation of a basic but vital SEO tactic. Thanks for sharing and explaining in simple terms. Many don’t get the importance of keywords and why the right or wrong ones can make or break your website success. Choosing keywords is very important and then using them is wisely is the heat of every SEO campaign. It is also important to see that any work put in now might not be realized until a year and that can be a lot of time wasted, and sometimes money.
