Los Angeles Mortgage Rates Report: February 28, 2008

I had a complete meltdown on my Twitter feed, yesterday.  Bernanke told the House that he was concerned about inflation but more concerned about a recession.  I initially reversed my float recommendation and subsequently changed it back to lock because I thought Wall Street would hate Ben's remarks; I was wrong.  I violated the first principle; don't fight the Fed.

The Federal Reserve is worried about a recession.  I think we can expect the Fed to cut rates next month.. The anticipation of that cut gives us a chance to see mortgage rates drift lower.  You should CAUTIOUSLY FLOAT your mortgage rate if your closing is over 7 days away; I think you'll have some room to get a mortgage rate that is .125% to .25% lower than it is today.

We're you paying attention to my Valentine's Day gift of love? I pointed out the hot curves on the 10/1 ARM; it was a full 1% lower than a 30 year fixed.  She's not as sexy as she was last week but the 10/1 ARM is still .5% better in rate than the 30 year fixed.

This morning's report is a bit more dry than the others because today will be busy.  The Gross Domestic Product showed that the economy is teetering on the brink of recession.  That news will be good for mortgage rates.  The market is volatile so always check Mortgage Rates Report for updated recommendations.

BREAKING NEWS: I'll be offering this syndicated column for Home Gain as "National Mortgage Rates Report", every Monday and Thursday.

Los Angeles Mortgage Rates Report: February 25, 2008

I haven't posted much because I'm still locking all mortgage rates, for Los Angeles home buyers, at application.  The market is so volatile because some on Wall Street believe that we're NOT going to have a recession and that the Fed will reverse course and start raising the Discount and Fed Funds rates.

Say What?  Well, I don't make the rules, I follow them.  While I expect to see lower rates in 6 months, today, they're rising faster than a popstar's audience grows.  Of course, what goes up can come crashing down (ask Britt) but today, we're dealing with higher mortgage rates.

The strategy I recommend is to obtain a 10/1 ARM at 5.375% (5.62% apr) with no discount points.  You can lower the rate on that loan to 5.125% by paying a point upfront but it will take over 5 years to recoup that cost; I think you'll sell or refinance during that time (or have an opportunity to do so).  I just can't understand why anyone would want a 30 year fixed AT EXACTLY 1% HIGHER than the 10/1 ARM.

Okay, let's get back to Britney Spears; she'll illustrate my point about the 10/1 ARM.  In 1999, she was 17 years old and the hottest thing since Elvis.  She released her debut album, Baby One More Time, and was the darling of kings and Presidents.  Today, Britt's struggling in rehab and dealing with custody issues.  In ten years, she will find God, get re-married, remake her career, and be considered one of the most influential artists of all time (only in America).  Now, I'm exaggerating to reduce the ten year time frame to the ridiculous.  I only wish the best for Britney and certainly wish the best for you.

That's why I'm so adamant about the ten year ARM.

Francisco Letelier

Cuentos/Stories

Paintings, collage and drawings

Opening Night Reception:  Saturday, February 16, 2008 from 7-10 pm

The Avenue 50 Studio is proud to present an exhibition of spiritual and political art by Francisco Letelier. Letelier bridges continents and weaves together history and contemporary experience, creating artwork that is powerful and memorable.  Born in Chile, he is known both for his visual art and his perceptive writing, spoken word and poetry.

Letelier has completed murals, public artworks and private commissions throughout the United States,
Latin America and Europe.  The artist has collaborated on projects with diverse artists and writers such as Ariel Dorfman, Quincy Jones, Bonnie Rait, U2, Tom Hayden and Jane Goodall.  He received a Grammy
Nomination in Package Design for work on musician Jackson Browne’s “World in Motion” release.  The
widely publicized, “Becoming the Circle”, a mural at the historic Pioneer Bakery in Venice, included
portraits of those who live in the surrounding Oakwood neighborhood.  His monumental ceramic tile murals, “El Sol and La Luna” adorn the Westlake/MacArthur Park Metro Rail Station in Los Angeles.  The works carry on the legacy of the Chilean mural tradition and serve as a symbol for the diversity of the City of Los Angeles.

Francisco is the son of Orlando Letelier, who was assassinated in Washington DC in 1976.  The car
bombing was the first act of international terrorism to occur in the nation’s Capital.  Agents from the
Chilean secret police acting under orders from former Chilean dictator General Augusto Pinochet and in
collaboration with anti Castro Cuban terrorists were involved in the conspiracy.

Exhibition run:  February 12 through March 2, 2008

Los Angeles Mortgage Rates Report: February 14, 2007- ARMs Building Muscle

I fell in love with ARMs again, after a five month hiatus.  Hey!  It's Valentine's Day so I can tell you a love story.  This love affair has been going on since I was in my 20s.  The sexy allure of adjustable-rate mortgages were replaced by the stability of that old battle-axe, the fixed rate loan.  The culprit was the flat yield curve.  I dig curves so my eyes popped out of my head when I opened my e-mail this morning.

Adjustable-rate mortgages walked into my life like a wild-eyed, long-haired, bombshell on a Harley, toting a bottle of tequila. Normally, I balance her beauty with the risk she presents but I promise you, she's a changed woman.  This time, she promises to stay put for a ten-year period.  Frankly, ten years is plenty of time for me to outlast a few bumps in the economic road; it's a relationship worth having.

I'm talking about the spread between a 30 year, fixed rate loan and an ARM with a ten-year fixed period.  The 30 year mortgage is around 6.0% while the ten-year fixed rate ARM is offered at 5.25%. Ten years is a LONG time, regardless of the economy, so I'm recommending that over the fixed rate loan.  Let me illustrate how long ten years is for you.  In 1998:

1- Smoking was banned in all California bars and restaurants
2- Mark McGwire broke Roger Maris' single season home run record
3- The Belfast agreement for peace in Northern Ireland was signed.
4- The Padres were in the World Series.
5-  Apple Computer unveiled the iMac
6- Microsoft was convicted of monopoly.
7- Monica Lewinsky redefined the phrase "sexual relations"
8- Google was started.
9- Jesse Ventura was elected Governor of Minnesota
10- The movie Titanic won the Academy Awards.

Do you see where I'm headed with all of this?  Ten years is a long time.  Forget 30 year fixed rate loans if you think you might move, retire, refinance, or send a kid to college between today and 2018.

The ten year loan at 5.25% (5.51% apr) is just too damned sexy!

Don't Forget To Vote - February 5!

Are you an "independent" voter, who selected "decline to state" when you registered to vote and are thus unaffiliated with any political party?

California currently has a "modified" closed primary system which took effect on January 1, 2001. A "modified" closed primary system permits unaffiliated ("decline to state") voters to participate in a primary election if the individual political party has authorized it for the particular election and has duly notified the Secretary of State.

Today, February 5, in California, both the Democratic and the American Independent Party are allowing "cross-over" voting.

Simply ask the pollworker for a Democractic or American Indepedent ballot, and mark the party name as indicated at the top of the ballot.  (Democratic ballot used as sample.)

More information:

American Independent Party
