Connecticut Financing Update and Today's Mortgage Rates 11/12/2014

Rates remain about the same compared to last week.  As a preferred lender for many Realtors, I noticed that home purchase inquiries picked up for me this week, which is evidence that the fall market is still very strong.  Rates are very attractive at these low levels and it’s time to jump in to refinance your existing mortgage or purchase a new home with Realtor Judy’s help.  The 10 year is currently at 2.32.  If you were to take a look a closer look at the interest rates then you would see that there has been an upward trend going back to May of 2013.  Anyone looking to close within the next short term period then you might be better off locking into a rate now.

Today's Mortgage Rates

Conventional 30 year fixed - 4.25% - APR 4.307%

Conventional 15 year fixed - 3.5% - APR 3.594%

Conventional 5/1 ARM - 3.375% - APR 3.292%

Conventional 7/1 ARM - 3.625% - APR 3.790%

The above rates are based on a loan amount of $417,000 for a single family home, a borrower’s middle credit score of 780 and a 20% down payment.  If you would like a customized rate quote for your own specific loan scenario then please feel free to email me at nima@primeres.com or call me directly at 203.913.6016.

This is not an offer for ext
ension of credit or a commitment to lend. All loans must satisfy company underwriting guidelines. Information and pricing are subject to change at any time and without notice. This is not an offer to enter into a rate lock agreement under any applicable law.

Some gave all. All gave some. Honor our Veterans every day, not just today.

A simple "Thank You" is enough for many veterans, but really....it's not- we owe our lives to those who fought for our freedom. Don't ever forget how many thousands sacrificed theirs for us.

In honor of all of our veterans, and those who continue to fight for our freedom, may God Bless You always.
