What's Up With Rates in 33 words

If you or someone you know is sitting on the fence, they're losing purchasing power quickly.

Let me emphasize, this is not a political post.

The markets feel that President-Elect Donald Trump is a positive for the economy.  The better the economy is the higher mortgage rates are.  The worse the economy is the lower rates are. (That was just the 33 words…).

Over the past 8 business days a 30-yr fixed rate has increased on average from 3.590% to 4.000%.  As a result a buyer who qualified for a $1M home on Friday 11/04 lost about $40k in their purchase power. They now qualify for a $960k purchase price. Don't forget this effects people selling too.
