- Thursday, April 24: Initial Jobless Claims
- Friday, April 25: Consumer Sentiment
Mortgage interest rates remain low. Here’s an example of rates that I’m quoting as of 9:10 am, April 21, 2014 (NOTE: mortgage rates change constantly, sometimes several times a day. If you would like me to provide you with a current rate quote, please click here).
Rates quoted below are based on a purchase in the greater Seattle with a sales price of $500,000 and a conventional loan amount in the amount of $400,000 (20% down payment) with credit scores of 740 or higher, escrow reserve account not waived and closing by May 29, 2014. Rates are subject to credit approval.
