Mortgage Interest Rates Nudge Down a Little
Before we talk about what happened with mortgage rates this week lets do a quick recap of what happened last week. Last week mortgage interest rates made a sudden jump over the previous week. For the entire month of June and July 30 year mortgage interest rates only fluctuated from 6.09 to 6.45. Then last week 30 year mortgage rates suddenly jumped from 6.26 to 6.63. At the time we predicted that rates would probably fall this week because usually after big spikes in mortgage rates there is a bit of a correction. We saw exactly that with all four of the major mortgage products falling, but not back to their levels from two weeks ago. 30 Year rates fell from 6.63 to 6.52. The only mortgage product to not fall substantially this week was the 1 Year ARM. Last week the 1 Year rate rose from 5.10 to 5.49. This week the 1 Year mortgage rate lost most of that gain falling to 5.27. Below are rates for the major mortgage products for the last month.
July 31, 2008
30-yr 6.52 15-yr 6.07 5-yr ARM 6.07 1-yr ARM 5.27
July 24, 2008
30-yr 6.63 15-yr 6.18 5-yr ARM 6.16 1-yr ARM 5.49
July 17, 2008
30-yr 6.26 15-yr 5.78 5-yr ARM 5.80 1-yr ARM 5.10
July 10, 2008
30-yr 6.37 15-yr 5.91 5-yr ARM 5.82 1-yr ARM 5.17
July 3, 2008
30-yr 6.35 15-yr 5.92 5-yr ARM 5.78 1-yr ARM 5.17
Ok so mortgage interest rates tell part of the story. But how does this translate into a mortgage payment. Using our free mortgage calculator lets translate the mortgage interest rates over the last few weeks into a mortgage payment for a 200k loan.
July 31th, 2008
30-yr $1266.76
15-yr $1695.28
5-yr ARM $1208.11
1-yr ARM $1106.88
July 24th, 2008
30-yr $1281.28
15-yr $1707.22
5-yr ARM $1219.75
1-yr ARM $1134.32
July 17th, 2008
30-yr $1232.73
15-yr $1664.03
5-yr ARM $1173.5
1-yr ARM $1085.89
So it looks like for now rates are still relatively high. The only mortgage product that remains relatively low is the 1 year mortgage rate. Comparing it to the 30 Year mortgage rate at 6.52 the 1 Year mortgage rate comes in at 5.27. For a 200k mortgage the mortgage payment with a 30 Year loan would be 1266.76. For a 1 Year Arm the mortgage payment would be 1106.88 or about 12.6% less. While I usually avoid Arm’s that is a pretty substantial different. The only problem with 1 Year Arm’s is that their is no guarantee mortgage rates will be less in one year. And with all the volatility in the mortgage markets right now they could be somewhat higher. Looking forward its hard to tell what mortgage rates are going to do over the next month. The FED’s refusal to lower rates would tend to push mortgage interest rates up but since mortgage rates rose so much over the last two weeks we can only hope that for the time being banks are satisfied with the current rates.

mortgage investment rates Questions
how do i determine investment return required to breakeven when borrowing money?
assume mortgage rate of 6.25%, income tax rate of 38% and investment long-term capital gains tax rate of 15%
One never borrows money to invest. Tell the bank or whom ever loaning the money, it will be invested and the determination of a loan will be 99.9% declined.
Long term capital gains tax rate of 15%? Isn’t it more at 28%; then 38%.. Send to IRS for Publication 17 and other investment Pubs it leads you to.
To borrow with expectations of breaking even—–never in a million years. But then again–K-Mart enters bankruptcy—comes out of it and buys Sears—-Rite-Aid on the verge of bankruptcy and buys Eckerd and Brooks Pharmacies.
Mortgage rate may be 6.25%, which is a deduction with other deductions to reach over the standard deduction. Your extra income from borrowing, should you find a lender will be wiped out with the 28% capital gains and then the 38% tax bracket.
Suggest you save 9 months of income in a savings account. Then go to a library and research DRIP investing—-The purchasing of common stock Directly from most companies, is without the outrageous brokerage fees and even selling is not $50.00, plus $25.00 to verify the transaction, plus $75.00 for calling them between the hours of their working, plus and plus fees for having an account with them.
Reinvesting the dividends in an Investment Program DRIP.
Back to your question: It’s the Yield you want not Return; capital gains you are talking about—means you are buying to sell after holding for —is it one year and a day this year or held for 6 months after a full month when the precipitation is not in excess of 2 inches within a 30 day period following the Hunter’s Moon or is it the Harvest Moon, then again perhaps just a regular Full Moon when Congress is not in session to change the calculations you seek.
Hope this makes as much sense as your borrowing money to invest. Why not borrow money and go to a Casino. Then the calculations are easy——Say you borrow $1,000, go to Casino, leave Casino— the return will be Zero. And you still owe $1,000.
If a house costs $130,000 with a 25 year mortgage with a rate of 9.5%, what is the total cost of the house?
The Pink family is buying a $130,000 house with a mortgage. They mortgage is for 25 years at 9.5%. They have $20,000 invested that could be used as a down payment, but since none is needed Mr. Pink does not want to put a payment down. Mrs. Pink however believes they should put one down.
Mr. Pink feels the investment will have an annual return rate of 10% compounded quarterly. What would this investment be after 25 years?
You can search “mortgage calculators” and you should be able to figure it out. Is this homework?
