DATE: Wednesday, December 21st, 2016

TIME: 12:00 PM PST

STATES: OREGON & WASHINGTON

CHANGE THIS WEEK: WORSE (since last Wednesday)

SUGGESTION: LOCK/CHECK VOLATILITY THIS WEEK (be in position to lock) – While the Fed does not directly change mortgage rates, their announcement to raise the federal funds/prime rate 0.25% last week (and again during 2017, but early speculation) sent investors spinning. There was a sell-off in the bond market Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday and mortgage rates worsened. Small recovery since then and potential for a little rebound in the coming weeks. Volatility expected to continue.

FHA based off 3.5% down payment, but other same variables.
