Colorado Mortgage rates are taking a pounding in the market today.  We have been concerned about the inflationary numbers for some time.  CPI (Consumer Price Index) and Core CPI both came in a lot higher then what the consensus had anticipated.  This increased data on inflation has sent Colorado Mortgage Rates back on an uphill climb.  I am expecting to see Colorado Mortgage Rates to increase about .125% to .25% by close of business today.  That will put the LOCK rate at 6.25%.  CPI is used to gauge changes in inflation and Colorado Mortgage markets tend to be extremely sensitive to unexpected changes to the reported numbers. As inflation and expectations of future inflation rates change, Colorado Mortgage markets adjust interest rates to reflect those changes.  Investors require higher returns on fixed rate bonds in order to justify the risk of holding them long term.  This is why inflation impact Colorado Mortgage bonds negatively.

In tough economic down turns, there are several reasons why inflation will work its way into the system.  Businesses increase prices in order to off set volume issues. Oil prices have hit historically high trading levels, making shipping of goods more expensive.  The level of competition begins to deteriorate as competitors exit the market because they lack the resources to stay in business.  This creates temporary demand for limited resources, which normally yields higher prices.  Colorado Mortgage Rates do not respond well to these pressures and the increases in Colorado Mortgage Rates are inevitable.  So the question I present today is how high will Colorado Mortgage Rates go in the short term (about 2-5 days), Mid-term (8-21days), and long-term (30-60 days).   

The Short term picture is easy to predict for Today.  We will not have a good day for Colorado Mortgage Rates as investors react extremely negatively to poor inflationary news.  The reaction will be exaggerated and some of the losses will be made up during the week.  This being said I expect a .125% Colorado Mortgage Rate increase by the end of the week.  So you are not going to be penalized to bad for not LOCKING in last week, but it will be a bit higher for your Colorado Mortgage closing this week.

The Mid-term picture is the toughest Colorado Mortgage rate trend to predict.  It is heavily impacted by headlines and economic data and does not follow any conventional cyclical terms seen in the Colorado Mortgage Market through out the year.  I still believe that we are over priced in Colorado Mortgage Rates due to investor’s fears of the current financial markets.  This being said inflation will continue to be a heavily watched indicator and it will take a lot of headlines to impact Colorado Mortgage rates enough to come down.  The Headlines we are looking for will be corporate profit issues.  This will be a major topic over the course of the year and will be the biggest influencer combating inflationary caused Colorado Mortgage rate increases.  I don’t see anything this year to indicate that profits will show the gains necessary to increase Colorado Mortgage Rates.  In fact most of profits reported so far have been positive for Colorado Mortgage Rates.  I believe that we will have periods over the next 3 weeks that will allow us to lock between 5.875% and 6.00%.  When this happens I will implement immediate Colorado Mortgage rate lock recommendations. 

The Long-Term picture is a little easier to predict as Colorado Mortgage Rates tend to show cyclical phenomenon’s.  Colorado Mortgage Rates typically peak for the year during summer months when demand is high.  The opposite is true during the winter months.  I expect to see Colorado Mortgage Rates to eventually hit the 5.75% range before the year is done and 5,.875% in the next 60 days. You can easily see that the range for Colorado Mortgage interest rates for the next 60 days will be between 5.875% and 6.375%, about a .5% movement.  The real impact on interest rates will be minimal, and will trend upward for the most part.  It will be important to keep watch so that you can LOCK you loan at the right time.  This is why having a good Colorado Mortgage provider is so important. 

Let me show you the cost savings by going with the right Colorado Mortgage provider.  Let’s say that you are unaware of the market and lock your loan at the worst possible time costing you .5% more on your Colorado Mortgage rate.  If you borrow $200,000 you will be paying about $1000 more a year.  The cost of interest will decrease over time but you can expect that you’re over all cost for locking at the wrong time will be around $22,000 on a 30 year Colorado Mortgage.  I think that this is significant enough to make sure you are working with the right people.

I would love a chance to earn your business and the business of anyone you might know in need of a Colorado Mortgage Loan.  I will have an article about FHA Loans and the Power that they have on the market today.  FHA Colorado Mortgage programs have been bailing the financial markets out of trouble for years.  It is very evident that they are doing it again.  Check that article out at www.colordaohomemortgageloan.net/news

Have a great day, Daniel

Colorado Mortgage rates seem to be improving a bit today; however it is not enough to make any difference on current long term interest rates.  Consumer Sentiment hit an all time low coming in just over 50.0.  This is the lowest Consumer Sentiment reading yet, and is a strong signal that consumers want more action in the economy.  Colorado Mortgage rates typically will improve on any information related to negative economic news.  Consumer Sentiment is an economic report that shows how consumers see the market and what they believe our economic outlook will be in the near future.  Today’s reading was very low and is the lowest report every recorded in Consumer Sentiment history.  Right now it appears that people have very negative opinions on where the economy is and what’s to come.  As a result consumers are less likely to spend creating even more obstacles in the economy. 

Colorado Mortgage rates were also impacted by the lack of volume being traded in the Mortgage Backed Securities market.  Most investors are standing by in anticipation of what will come from the FOMC meeting currently taking place.  The Federal Open Market Committee plays an important role in determining which direction Colorado Mortgage rates go.  The Federal Reserve board will be fighting a tough battle today behind closed doors.  They will certainly be discussing which issue to address in the coming months, inflation or economic instability.  Both work inversely to each other and the tools used by the Federal Reserve will yield opposite results depending on which direction the Fed’s chooses.  Colorado Mortgage rates will have a bad reaction to anything related to inflationary risk.  If the Federal Reserve takes steps to decrease inflation in the market, Colorado Mortgage rates will go up.  This is interesting because high inflation is bad for Colorado Mortgage rates.  So why does actions that lower inflation cause Colorado Mortgage rates to rise?  The market views this in the short term as a potential risk that inflation is already to high.  This makes long term investments less valuable to sell.  In the short run, Colorado Mortgage rates will increase due to concern related to high inflation risk.  If the Federal Reserves focus turns to Economic stability and nothing is said about inflation, we will see Colorado Mortgage rates improve.  This action will send a message to the investment world that economic stability is weak and that a safe long term investment may yield a better return.

Colorado Mortgage rates will have plenty of economic data released tomorrow which will add to any movements caused by the FOMC.  Durable Goods and New Home Sales will both be apart of the information investors will need to digest in order to make their decision for what action to take in the market.  You can go to www.coloradohomemortgageloan.net/news to get more information on these reports and what is expected to happen.  In short investors are expecting durable goods orders to increase from last month, which is typical in the summer months.  A negative reporting number for Durable Goods will allow Colorado Mortgage rates to drop.  New Home Sales on the other hand is expected to drop again to a new 5 year low.  If we see anything lower then what is expected we should see Colorado Mortgage rates improve again.  I will give you my expectations on these reports at my other site.

In Conclusion the real question is to Float or Lock your Colorado Mortgage rate.  To determine this you need to decide how risk adverse you are.  If you like risk and like the rewards that come from risk, you will need to float your Colorado Mortgage rate today.  The FOMC is split on what direction they want to go, but Bernanke holds the final card and he is clear that the Economy will be his first and strongest focus.  I believe that this will come out in tomorrow’s information and short term interest rates will go untouched.  Keep in mind I am right about 85% of the time.  We will have to wait and see.  I also believe that both economic reports due to be released will come in lower then expected, which is one more added incentive in driving Colorado Mortgage rates down a bit latter this week.  For those that don’t like risk, you should have already locked, if not you have about 2 hours to get this done.  Colorado Mortgage rates will jump up if anything is released from the meeting notes indicating fears of inflation.  Heck the Federal Reserve members may take action that states the focus is for Economic stimulus, but talk about inflationary issues.  This will happen so that they can try and tackle two fronts both inflation and economic growth.  The reason I don’t believe this will happen is, it is counter productive as it relates to one issue or the other.  If the board appears to be split on what action to take you might have some members yelling inflation even though action was not taken to combat the economic stimulus issues.  Finally, the summer months are normally big home sale months and currently the consensus for new home sales appears to be at a record low.  The consensus may be set a bit to low and if New Home sales beat expectations it could send the wrong message about our economic condition.  Strong housing numbers typically insinuates an improving market and having our consensus set too low opens the door for housing numbers to beat expectations.  Even if expectations are beat tomorrow anything close to expectations would still be a negative sign for our economy.

Colorado Mortgage Rates appear to be moving in the right direction today feeding off of economic data released yesterday.  It appears that in a society of short attention spans, we are now focusing on economic issues and have forgotten inflationary fears from last week.  Colorado Mortgage Rates seem to be doing better today, which should translate to another .125% Colorado Mortgage Rate reduction.  We still have some cushion built into Colorado Mortgage Rates being offered by our investors, which means that we have some room to improve.  We still have three more economic reports for the week.  These reports may or may not impact Colorado Mortgage rates.  All of these reports will be available tomorrow.  We will need to wait and see if the consensus estimates on these reports are accurate.  Only surprises in the reports will cause any real shifts with Colorado Mortgage rates.  I believe that we are in a FLOAT situation through today.  If the economic reports favor Colorado Mortgage Rates tomorrow then our FLOAT recommendation will be extended through Monday.

Colorado Mortgage Rates seem to be reacting to just about anything being reported in the market.  Obviously Colorado Mortgage rates were priced much higher due to inflation fears.  The question is how undervalued is the market?  The answer depends on how investors feel the state of the economy is and will be over the next 6 months.  Investors are now starting to see that the economic issues are our out weighing the inflationary issues.  If this perception continues we will probably see Colorado Mortgage Rates make up a lot of ground lost over the last 2 weeks.  It’s hard to determine exactly how much ground will be made up, but Colorado Mortgage Rates will improve.  Colorado Mortgage Rates jump up almost 1% from the low points experienced in early April, and the markets are now starting to see the impact of these higher Colorado Mortgage rates. 

Colorado Mortgage Applications are at its lowest point since August of 2006, New home permits are also drastically down.  It appears that the Colorado Mortgage market has hit a bit of a stand still, probably because consumers don’t know they have other options.  If you are set to LOCK in your Colorado Mortgage rate then 6.25% can be found.  Not a great rate, but a lot better then a 6.5% Colorado Mortgage rate being offered earlier in the week.  If you have the ability to hold off and you have not locked in yet we may see 6.00% Colorado Mortgage rates earlier then you think.  Keep in mind we still have programs available at 5.375% if you need something low right now.  The Colorado Mortgage Program using this low Colorado Mortgage Rate is a good program and has my full support.  I am a conservative Colorado Mortgage broker and do not put my stamp of approval on just anything.  Call me and I will tell you how this Colorado Mortgage Program works.  I will post my 2^nd article on www.coloradohomemortgageloan.net/news after lunch.  Until then have a great day.  I just checked the Mortgage Backed Securities Market again and it appears that we are still improving so FLOATING your Colorado Mortgage Rate should pay off.  I will explain the Headlines impacting Colorado Mortgage Rates at the same website posted above.
