- Mortgage Rates Continue To Fall
By: Ki Gray | - While the expectation has been that mortgage rates would start to rise they have fallen for the last 2 weeks. This week the 30 year rate fell from 4.98 to 4.91 (last week it fell from 5.03 to 4.98). Besides October 8th its the lowest rate we have seen since the start of the summer. So how does 4.91 fit in with historical mortgage rates. Its lower than any point before March 26, 2009. Its also the 11th lowest recorded rate in history (all of the 10 lower recorded rates occured in 2009).

- Variable-rate Mortgages Better Deal
By: sakvoyaj | - Fixed mortgage rates may help you feel secure in your budgeting, but the Bank of Montreal says the more volatile variable rate mortgages will save you money in the long run.
The bank put out a report Friday showing that, over the past 30 years, variable-rate mortgages have been more cost-effective about 82 per cent of the time.
That may come as a surprise to some after studies have shown many Canadians prefer a fixed-rate mortgage.

- Mortgage Rates Continue To Drop
By: Ki Gray | - Mortgage rates have now dropped for 3 weeks in a row. We are not seeing a lot of movement. 30 year rates have only dropped from 5.14 to 5.04 in the last 3 weeks. What is interesting is that rates are dropping at all. Most of the news have focused on how inflation is pending for the US because of unprecidented government spending. But while the news has focused on pending inflation (and corresponding higher mortgage rates) mortgage rates have continued to drop. Mortgage rates are lower than ...

- U.s. Bankruptcy Judge's Ruling Could Change Foreclosure Laws Nationwide

- Are Mortgage Rates Primed To Rise
By: Ki Gray | - Mortgage rates rose again this week. This is the third time in the last 4 weeks that mortgage rates have risen. Why are mortgage rates rising? There are numerous factors at play but generally once the economy recovers it's expected that inflation, and mortgage rates, should rise. The last month of generally positive economic news has probably helped nudge mortgage rates up. Although rates are increasing they are increasing in small steps and not large strides. Since July 16th the 30 year r ...

- Mortgage Rates Stay Even
By: Ki Gray | - The saying "No news is good news" might be applicable with the recent trend with mortgage rates. For the last 2 or 3 weeks for the most part rates have stayed pretty much unchanged. The reason why this could be considered good news is that the economy and stock market seem to be improving. There was a lot of discussion that an improving economy would lead to inflation and in turn higher interest rates. While I still think we are eventually headed to higher interest rates it's nice that at le ...

- The 5 Year Arm Hits A Low For The Year
By: Ki Gray | - The 5 Year arm dropped from 4.83 to 4.74 this week reaching a low for the year. What is interesting is that we have moved back to a normal state when comparing the 4 major mortgage products to each other. Earlier this year the 5 year arm fell below the 30 year fixed rate which is highly unusual. This basically made the five year arm pointless for borrowers. But with the drastic fall in the 5 year rate in the last few weeks we are now starting to see a normal relationship between the 5 year a ...

- Dont Change Your Mortgage Plan
By: sakvoyaj | - Would you like to pay an extra $300 per month on your mortgage? Not likely.
That hasn't stopped a number of Canadians, with the deal of a lifetime on a variable-rate mortgage, from switching over to a more expensive fixed-rate product and paying the extra freight.
A fear of rising rates is driving the rash decision. But if you've finally managed to pin your banker to the ground, why on Earth would you let him off the mat?

My first thought was yeah right! With the market in such a depressed state you are just desperate to make a sale.

- Tips On How To Maximize Aged Mortgage Leads From The Mortgage Lists
By: Vikram Kumar | - So you have reasons for getting aged mortgage leads. There is the reason for cheap rates. Among mortgages lists, fresh leads are the most expensive.
