Weekly Mortgage Rate Update

In a packed week, the two big economic reports were the main drivers of mortgage rates. The outperformance of the GDP data relative to expectations first rocked the bond market & rates earlier this week however the small miss in the Employment report today caused the bond market & rates to rally ending the week flat. This week's Fed meeting contained no surprises and had little impact.

Big Changes Coming August 16th for Conforming Buyers (up to $625,500 loan amounts). With 20% down payments, it used to be a 2 year waiting period to purchase again after a short sale however effective August 16th this is increasing to 4 years after a short sale.  Buyers on the fence that have had short sales sooner than 4 years the window may be closing for them with Conforming loans.
