San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 10, 2014 -- Blue Home Loans, Inc. is a full-service California mortgage company lead by father and son, Robert and Brandon Blue, that has been helping California mortgage borrowers to find the best rates and loan programs for many years. Now, with the drop in CA mortgage rates down to the lowest levels in a year and a half, the mortgage company takes a look at what has been influencing mortgage rate movement and comments on the trends reported at MortgageNewsDaily.com.
The MND article, posted December 10th, reports, “Mortgage rates moved only slightly lower today, but it was enough to bring the end-of-day average to the lowest in more than a year an a half. For the record, there were lower rates available on the morning of October 15th, but markets moved so much during the day that the last rate sheets of the day weren't quite as strong as today's. Similar rates were also seen at the end of the day on December 1st.”
So what caused rates to slip past the lowest levels of the year today? The same article explains that today’s strength in mortgages mainly comes as a result of weakness in other areas, especially oil and stocks. The MND article says, “It's not that either of these has a reliable, direct connection to rates, but generally speaking, when stocks are selling as much as they were today, bond markets tend to pick up some of that money. When bond markets improve, prices move higher and yields (or "rates") move lower.”
Blue Home Loans explains that this process of higher-yields-equals-lower-rates takes a bit longer and has less of an overall affect for mortgage rates than it does for more mainstream bond market components, such as U.S. Treasuries. Because of this slower reaction, mortgage rates were pretty much flat for the first half of today, and some lenders even had worse rates than yesterday. But mid-day reprices helped get rates to where they are right now and there is some hope that this could continue to tomorrow since there is a chance that some lenders did not get the chance to pass over all the gains yet, so borrowers might see even better reprices tomorrow morning.
