YOUR Mortgage Minute -- June 02, 2009

Good Afternoon,

I hope that this note finds you well and enjoying your Tuesday.

Volatility is the name of the game again today for Mortgage Bonds, as they continue to fluctuate in a wide range. Stocks, on the other hand, had a good day yesterday and appear to be set for more gains today.

In the news, Pending Home Sales came in far above forecasts, rising for a third straight month! With home affordability levels at the second highest level ever on record, that means now is the time to act--while rates are still low and affordability is still high.

Currently, Mortgage Bonds are off their best levels from earlier this morning. There is a chance they will bounce off an important floor of support and eventually make some gains. But, there's also a risk they'll deteriorate more. With so much to lose and only a little to gain in the short-term, I recommend locking your rate at this time if closing is within the next week or so. If anything changes, I will certainly keep you posted.

In the meantime, if there is ever anything that I can do for you, please let me know.
