Friday’s Rates

We are closer to the conforming loan limits being increased through the end of 2008. After President Bush signs HR 5140 into law, HUD will have 30 days to publish what will be used for median home prices. The temporary conforming limits will be based on 125% of the median home price.

Conforming Mortgage Rates (loan amounts up to $417,000 for 1-unit properties). The conforming rate quote below is based on owner occupied, “full doc” purchase with minimum credit scores of 680 with an 80% loan to value or lower, a loan amount of $400,000, and with reserves (taxes & insurance) not being waived. Rates quoted are priced based on a 45 day lock with 1 point and there are no prepayment penalties on any of the rates quoted below.
