This past weekend, we made an addition to our family, a flat coated retriever pup who we call Scupper.
While this has nothing to do with mortgages or how low rates are right now, I just wanted to share this cute fella with you.
Mortgage rates continue to be a very low levels. Many home owners are taking advantage of this and refinancing now – especially if they qualify for FHA streamline or HARP 2.0.
We’re also seeing purchase business continue to pick up in the Seattle area. If you are considering buying a home, it’s crucial to get preapproved as early as possible so that you can present a strong offer as you may find you have competition with other buyers.
Here are a few scheduled economic indicators that are to be released the week of May 29, 2012. For a short week, we have plenty of data being released that my impact mortgage rates. On Friday, we have the big dog being released: The Jobs Report. Of course unscheduled events may also impact mortgage rates such as what’s going on with Europe’s economy.
