Mortgage Rates
This Week's Mortgage Rates Forecast
Risks Favor: FLOATING
Now that we are seeing a new trend in MBS performance, and technical signs point to short term interest rate stability, we can advise to float and see if we may experience some improvement. Be careful though, there is a lot of economic data being released this week that will cause daily volatility. So, let's recap: mortgage interest rates will probably end the week where they began them, meaning that rates are pretty stable. However, during the day, we may see volatility which means that rebate or loan pricing may be affected even though interest rates themselves remain unchanged. On a $200k loan, a difference of .5005 in loan pricing or rebate is $1,000 in out of pocket costs.
So for this week, any consumers who are less than 7 days out from closing may want to just lock in the great rates we see. Anyone more than that should watch the market with their mortgage loan originator and see if we may find even more improvement on the horizon.
BOTTOM LINE: Improvements in rate will come grudgingly, but if the stock market recovery we've been waiting for finally happens, we may improve by about .125%.

99% Client Satisfaction – That’s what you tell us. And that’s what drives us.
How we achieve this goal is pretty straightforward: good-old-fashioned customer service. Because earning your trust and respect is our highest priority. It’s been that way for more than 40 years, passed down from one generation of Windermere agents to the next. Buying or selling a home is rarely a simple endeavor, so we use a combination of knowledge, passion, and market savvy to meet all of your real estate needs – a commitment we intend to uphold.
Here is what some satisfied clients have to say about their experience with their Windermere Real Estate agent:
"Our agent offered a complete package from beginning to end. By placing our trust in her knowledge and experience, we were able to get results that exceeded our expectations in the most difficult of markets."
– Tom and Jennifer
– Kayla and Minh
"In the fall of 2010, we hired our agent to market our elderly parents’ house in Laurelhurst. Despite a very weak real estate market, we were able to sell the house in a relatively short time and at a fairly aggressive price. Our agent was on her game throughout the process – beginning with the listing and marketing, then negotiating the sale and, finally, closing the deal. She was extremely helpful with her advice about the logistics of downsizing all the furnishings and general "stuff" accumulated during the 40+ years that my parents lived in the home. She also had invaluable advice about the emotional journey of moving my aging parents from their family-sized home to their new retirement-sized home. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again."
– P. Miller and J. Johnson
– Michael
– R. Hershey
"My wife and I trusted the experience and market savvy of our Windermere agent and his team and it paid off. He guided us through the necessary plan to sell and kept us focused on the goal of selling smart and buying smart. His patience and guidance were key in putting a deal together. We sold, and bought the house of our dreams, and feel our agent helped us get a great deal. It really shows that experience pays off. We have already recommended our Windermere agent to our friends and colleagues and will continue to do so."
– John
“Our agent displayed expertise, integrity, professionalism, and stellar customer service throughout our entire home buying process. He not only carefully guided us through the home buying process, but went above and beyond to connect us to resources in the community for our remodeling plans. This was truly a fantastic experience for our family. We'll continue to use Windermere services for our real estate needs.”
– Julie & Brandon

Buyers Beware: Seattle Real Estate Inventory Levels at a Critical Low
Seattle area real estate levels are at a critical low for home buyers. As we move into the Spring 2013 home buying season, the amount of homes for sale will be less than half of those available in the Spring 2012 market. The culmination of low inventory and low interest rates have pushed our market into a buying frenzy with a high percentage of homes for sale entering multiple offers.
