Trading was positive for the week through Wednesday’s close. The data generally was benign causing no large mortgage bond market swings. Unfortunately a strong 273-point jump in the DOW Thursday resulted in mortgage rates worsening by about 3/8 of a discount point that afternoon. Fortunately bond prices recovered some Friday, as the stocks were unable to hold those gains. Rates rose by about 1/8 of a discount point for the week. The producer and consumer price index data will be the most important releases this week. If inflation remains tame mortgage interest rates may improve. Expect global economies to continue to factor into trading. |
A Loan Modification is a permanent change in one or more of the terms of a mortgagor's loan, allows the loan to be reinstated, and results in a payment the mortgagor can afford. In many cases, accrued late charges can be rolled into the principal. If a Loan Modification is not the best option for you, you should discuss other alternatives such as: A forensic loan audit to determine if your lender committed fraud or any other predatory lending practices. A mortgage refinance into a lower fixed rate that you can afford. A short sale if you can't afford a modified payment or need to relocate.

Reverse mortgages are becoming popular in America. HUD's Federal Housing Administration (FHA) created one of the first. The Home Equity Conversion Mortgage (HECM) is FHA's reverse mortgage program which enables you to withdraw some of the equity in your home. The HECM is a safe plan that can give older Americans greater financial security. Many seniors use it to supplement social security, meet unexpected medical expenses, make home improvements and more. Since your home is probably your largest single investment, it's smart to know more about reverse mortgages, and decide if one is right for you! |
