Fed Rate Stimulus Ends March 31, Impact On Mortgage Shoppers
FED RATE STIMULUS ENDS MARCH 31
As most know, the Fed has been using a $1.25 trillion budget to buy mortgage bonds since January 1, 2009 in order to elevate mortgage bond prices and push rates down. Rates are 1.125% lower than they were when the program was announced, and the Fed will use up it’s final $3b next week, then the program is over. Below is more information on what this means going forward. Rates rose about .2% last week, so any quote a mortgage shopper received before March 23 will be higher now. This rise came from overall bond market panic about the ability of governments to meet future bond repayments. This started with worries about Greece and Portugal, then spread further in Europe and there's been ongoing rumors about whether … Today Gov. Schwarzenegger signed Assembly Bill 183, the Homebuyer Tax Credit legislation, into law. AB 183 will provide $200 million for home buyer tax credits, allocating $100 million for qualified first-time home buyers of existing homes and $100 million for purchasers of new, or previously unoccupied, homes. The eligible taxpayer who purchases a qualified personal residence on and after May 1, 2010, and on or before Dec. 31, 2010, or who purchases a qualified principal residence on and after Dec. 31, 2010, and before Aug. 1, 2011, pursuant to an enforceable contract executed on or before Dec. 31, 2010, will be able to take the allowed tax credit. The credit is equal to the lesser of 5 percent of the purchase price or $10,000, in equal installments over three consecutive years. Under AB 183, purchasers will be required to live in the home for at least… Keller Williams Plans Charity Event to Build Home for Homeless!

Critical Economic Outlook Week Coming
Despite volatility last week that caused rates to move up and down about .2%, we ended the week even. Business and consumer inflation reports both showed that inflation is under control. The Fed reiterated this after their FOMC meeting Tuesday, and left overnight bank-to-bank and Fed-to-bank rates at .25% and .75% respectively.
Rates were especially volatile Friday as mortgage bond traders contented with the threat from Moody’s and Fitch that U.S. debt may lose its AAA rating, and the volatility will continue next week. We’ve got 2, 5 and 7 year Treasury auctions, and while these shorter durations don’t directly compete with mortgage bonds, it’s still more bond supply—too much supply can cause mortgage bonds to sell off which pushes rates up. Friday we… Still Have New Downtown High Rise Units For Sale
