            <title>Friday Update - Mortgage Rates Steady - Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
 As shown below mortgage rates are about the same as last Friday. Seems you're seeing that on a fairly consistent basis over the last few months. The employment report was issued this morning by the Labor Dept, and it came in even worse than expected. Unemployment is up to 10.2% nationally which is the worst since April of 1983, also in that report were figures that show worker productivity was up substantially. This means that if the GDP grew in the last quarter as it was reported, then it was... ]]> </description>

            <title>Eugene Oregon Mortgage Rates Lower Again This Week</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Oooohhhhhhh, the rates are soooo low right now, as shown below. But obviously it's not the rates that are keeping the buyers away. More likely it's the unemployment rate that makes them nervous. I certainly can't blame them! 


The national unemployment rate moved from 9.6% to 9.8% with this morning's Labor Dept report for the month of September. Of course, the buyers in this area are looking at an unemployment rate much higher here in Lane County and the state of Oregon . So, it makes sense t... ]]> </description>

            <title>Lane County Oregon - Mortgage Rates Remain Steady</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Mortgage rates are the same as last week, as shown below. This mornings release of the existing home sales figures, which was the highest in two years, coupled with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's comments have pushed the bond market down, but once again we're seeing a knee jerk reaction to positive economic news. I suspect that things will settle again next week when the naysayers have their say.  


I'm sure you've heard a lot of grumbling about the new rules governing the mortgage industry. It ... ]]> </description>

            <title>Eugene Oregon - Mortgage Rates Lower This Week</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Okay!&nbsp; Rates are better today after being higher earlier in the week. &nbsp;You'll see the rates below, but I wanted you to note that the 5/1 ARM &nbsp;is now showing an &ldquo;Interest Only&rdquo; rate. &nbsp;I've found this to be somewhat useful for the executive types that are breezing into town and don't plan on staying in the home for long, but want a nice showy place for social functions. &nbsp;God bless &lsquo;em.&nbsp; :)

            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Rates are little better today over last Friday, as shown below. The stock markets aren't as happy as they were last week, and the FOMC meeting I referred to in last Friday's email didn't seem to make much of an impact. Therefore, the bond market is doing better as of now. The auctions of long term government debt were well received earlier this week, which again helped the bond market make some gains. 


That's it in a nutshell, but I'd like to talk about a couple of rumors and reports out the... ]]> </description>

            <title>Eugene Oregon - Have We Hit Rock Bottom</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Mortgage rates are still about the same as last week, as shown below. &nbsp;Obviously rates are not the problem!&nbsp; Nor have they been for many months; actually 7+ years if truth be told, but then after a while it all becomes relative.&nbsp; There are most likely some buyers out there who are waiting for that &ldquo;perfect storm&rdquo; where interest rates, and home prices, bottom out; everything goes crazy and they finally put their hook in the water.

            <title>Eugene Weekly Mortgage Update - Eugene Oregon Home Loan News</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
Mortgage rates have inched up just slightly, as noted below. The Labor Dept reported 663,000 jobs lost in March, which should have rallied the bond market and pushed rates lower. However, that number was less than had been anticipated, so it was seen as a plus by investors. After yesterday's stock rally the S&amp;P 500 is up 23% since March 9 th when it hit a 12 year low. 


Stocks were not really affected today by the jobs report because employment is always a &rdquo;lagging indicator&rdquo;.... ]]> </description>
