Market News April 15 (Time to lock)

Hi, it's time to lock if we can. Weaker Overnight; Debt Ceiling Clues  MBS Road Signs 4-15-24 Week of April 8, 2024 in ReviewInflation has improved significantly after peaking in 2022, but recent hotter than expected readings have stalled the progress lower. Here are last week’s headlines:  § Inflation Progress Stalls§ Wholesale Inflation Better Than Feared§ Continuing Unemployment Claims Top 1.8 Million§ Latest on Small Business Optimism…Or Lack Thereof Inflation Progress Stalls  The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) showed higher than expected inflation in March, with the headline reading up 0.4% from February. On an annual basis, CPI moved in the wrong direction, rising from 3.2% to 3.5%. The Core measure, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, increased 0.4% while that annual reading remained at 3.8% (though it was expected to decline to 3.7%).  What’s the bottom line? March’s hotter than expected consumer inflation report continues a trend we’ve seen in recent months, as rising energy and shelter costs have added to pricing pressure.  Price stability is part of the Fed’s dual mandate. When inflation became rampant a few years ago, the Fed began aggressively hiking their benchmark Fed Funds Rate (the overnight borrowing rate for banks) to slow the economy and rein in inflation. While inflation has fallen considerably after peaking in 2022, the progress lower has slowed, which could delay the Fed’s timing for rate cuts this year. Given that maximum employment is the other part of the Fed’s dual mandate, a cooling job market with rising unemployment could pressure them to cut the Fed Funds Rate sooner rather than later. However, the overall strength of March’s Jobs Report, including the falling unemployment rate, will likely not add any pressure to their timeline.Wholesale Inflation Better Than FearedThe Producer Price Index (PPI), which measures inflation on the wholesale level, rose 0.2% in March, just below estimates. On an annual basis, PPI rose from 1.6% to 2.1%, but this was better than the 2.2% estimate. Core PPI, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, was in line with forecasts at a 0.2% rise. The year-over-year reading rose from 2% to 2.4%, just above forecasts.What’s the bottom line? Overall, the monthly PPI readings were tame and better than feared, which was a relief after the hot CPI readings that were reported the previous day. Plus, some of the PPI components are factored into another important consumer inflation measure called Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), which is the Fed’s favored measure, and this could potentially lead to a slightly better PCE report when that data is released on April 26.Continuing Unemployment Claims Top 1.8 MillionInitial Jobless Claims fell by 11,000 in the latest week, retreating from a two-month high, as 211,000 people filed for unemployment benefits for the first time. However, Continuing Claims surged higher by 28,000, with 1.817 million people still receiving benefits after filing their initial claim. What’s the bottom line? Initial Jobless Claims can be volatile from week to week, but their relatively low level suggests that employers are still trying to hold on to their workers. Yet, Continuing Claims are still trending higher near some of the hottest levels we’ve seen since November 2021, as it’s become harder for some people to find new employment once they are let go. This coincides with the New York Fed’s latest Survey of Consumer Expectations. Respondents noted that the mean probability of finding a job within three months of losing one is now at the lowest level in almost three years.Latest on Small Business Optimism…or Lack ThereofThe National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) Small Business Optimism Index fell to 88.5 in March. This is the weakest reading since December 2012 as “owners continue to manage numerous economic headwinds,” per Chief Economist Bill Dunkelberg. What’s the bottom line? The NFIB noted that inflation is back on top as the biggest problem small businesses are facing, as owners are likely feeling the impact of higher oil prices and the stalling progress on reducing pricing pressure. Plans to hire also fell for the fourth straight month. Despite talk of a strong economy, small businesses are still feeling pessimistic.What to Look for This Week We’ll kick off the week Monday with an update on home builder sentiment for this month. Tuesday brings news on March’s Housing Starts and Building Permits, while Existing Home Sales data follows on Thursday.We’ll also get an update on March’s Retail Sales and the latest manufacturing data for the New York region on Monday. Jobless Claims and manufacturing for Philadelphia will be reported Thursday.Technical PictureAfter last Wednesday’s sharp decline due to the higher-than-expected CPI numbers, Mortgage Bonds were able to bounce higher off support at 99.647 on Friday. The 10-year ended last week trading at around 4.52%. While this is still high, it’s an improvement from highs hit earlier in the week.Thank you MBS HighwayWarm Regards, Patty Newby & theLoanDesigners

Student Loans and Homeownership

Don't let student loans delay your homeownership goals! If you have student loans and want to buy a home, you might have questions about how your debt affects your plans. Do you have to wait until you've paid off those loans before you can buy your home? Or is it possible you could still qualify for a home loan even with that debt? You should know, even with student loans, waiting to buy a home may not be necessary. While everyone's situation is unique, your goal may be more within your reach than you realize. Here's why:Can You Qualify for a Home Loan if You Have Student Loans?According to an annual report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR), 38% of first-time buyers had student loan debt and the typical amount was $30,000.That means other people in a similar situation were able to qualify for and buy a home even though they also had student loans. And you may be able to do the same, especially if you have a steady source of income. As an article from Bankrate says:“. . . you can have student loans and a mortgage at the same time. . . . If you have student loans and want a mortgage, there are multiple home loan programs you might qualify for . . .”The key takeaway is, for many people, homeownership is achievable even with student loans. Everyone's finances are unique - we can walk you through your options based on your situation, and share what’s worked for other buyers!

From CEO, Rob Barber of ATTOM, "It signals a return to more traditional patterns after years of volatility. Our data suggests that while foreclosure activity may fluctuate, it's unlikely to approach the highs seen in the last decade." Reach out with ANY questions you have!

2 / 1 Buydown ideas -drop the payment ideas

A 2/1 buydown is a type of mortgage arrangement designed to provide a temporary reduced interest rate for the borrower during the initial years of the loan. It's a form of interest rate subsidy where the lender or a third party provides funds to "buy down" or reduce the interest rate for a set period of time. Here's how it works: Structure of a 2/1 Buydown: In the first year of the loan, the interest rate is reduced by 2% from the note rate. In the second year, the interest rate is reduced by 1% from the note rate. From the third year onward, the borrower pays the actual note rate.

Drop the payment ideas

Rate Buy Down Explained At its core, a rate buy down is a strategy where you (or pay upfront fee) or the seller (credits ) to receive a lower interest rate on your mortgage. Think of it as a "discount" on your mortgage rate. Here's a breakdown: Upfront Payment: By paying an additional upfront fee, often referred to as "points" or "discount points," you can secure a lower interest rate on your mortgage. Saving Over Time: While there's an initial cost involved, a buy down can save you money over the life of the loan because you'll be paying interest at a reduced rate.

How to get rid of Mortgage insurance

So, you want to kick that mortgage insurance to the curb? No worries, I've got you covered! Here's how you can bid it farewell: Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI): Show it who's boss by reaching 20% equity in your home. Once you've paid off enough, you can request PMI removal like a boss. Give your mortgage a good spanking by making extra payments towards the principal. It'll be shocked at how determined you are to get rid of it. If your home's value has skyrocketed, flaunt it with a new appraisal. Prove to that pesky PMI that you're in charge and have reached the magical 20% equity mark. Consider giving your mortgage a makeover by refinancing. If interest rates have dropped or your credit has improved, you can kick PMI to the curb and say, "Hello, better deal!" FHA Mortgage Insurance Premium (MIP): Show MIP who's the boss too! Just pay off enough of your mortgage to reach 20% equity and kindly request its removal. Goodbye, MIP, you won't be missed! Want to take it to the next level? Refinance to a conventional loan and show MIP that you don't need its company anymore. You're moving on to bigger and better things! VA Funding Fee: Ah, the VA funding fee, a one-time fee that sticks around. Unfortunately, it's like that quirky friend who always tags along. It can't be removed, but at least it's just a one-time thing. Remember, these tips are just the starting point. Always check your mortgage agreement and have a chat with your lender. They'll give you the inside scoop on how to bid farewell to that mortgage insurance with style and a sprinkle of humor. Good luck on your journey to financial freedom!

Property taxes – What happens year 2?

Don't get caught off guard, this is year two, existing homes or building. Imagine you're building a new house. In the beginning, it's like a blank canvas, and you're not paying taxes for a full, finished house yet. This means, in the first year, your monthly house payment is a bit lighter on your wallet. Here's how it works: Year 1 (Moving in): Think of this as the year your house is still in its "baby phase". Sometime during this year, an inspector will visit and decide how much in taxes you should pay for the next year. But, remember, your house isn't fully grown yet, so these taxes are still on the lighter side. Year 2: Your house is now a grown-up! The inspector comes by again, but this time, since your house is complete, the taxes will be set according to its full value. This means the amount you pay monthly will jump up a bit. Now, here's a heads-up: Early in the year, after you've moved in, expect a message saying your taxes have gone up. It's like when you suddenly realize you've been spending too much and need to readjust your budget. If you're not careful, you can fall behind on these new taxes pretty quickly, and owe quite a bit. When you first buy your house, we'll only ask you to pay the "baby phase" taxes, so you won't have to shell out too much cash right away. But remember to be smart about it: ACTION STEP: In January, call the customer service number on your mortgage bill. Ask if they can adjust your monthly payment to reflect your "grown-up house" taxes. If they say "not yet", set aside some money on your own. By spring, they might send you a letter saying you owe more because of the tax increase. With the money you set aside, you can either pay it all at once or decide to adjust your monthly payments. Remember, we don't want you to be caught off guard. We can also discuss other options if this "baby phase" tax approach isn't your cup of tea. Just give us a ring! Is that a clearer explanation for your target audience?
