Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center weekly mortgage market update.
Most Americans feel pretty lousy about the economy as the consumer sentiment index revealed its worst reading since its inception 56 yrs ago. Stocks had their worst June since 1930 due to rising oil and food prices, a weak dollar, the continuing housing and credit crisis and signs that GM is having serious financial problems. Typically investors would shift to bonds for protection and long term rates would drop but mortgage bonds have performed poorly due to inflationary concerns so long term mortgage rates remained flat this week. We believe a Fed move to raise short term rates will have a good effect on long term rates as inflationary pressure will subside and long term rates should come down. For more information about what effects mortgage rates and why call us at 610.432.6600.

Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center weekly mortgage market update! Mortgage bonds rose this week dropping long term rates by an .125-.25%. Traders rushed into the safe haven of bonds as stocks plummeted on fears of a continued credit crisis. Oil prices continued to rise this week which added selling pressure to stocks. The local real estate market continues to remain somewhat healthy as median home prices have only dropped approximately 5% from last year the Lehigh Valley Association of Realtors reported. The average time a home stays on the market is approx 68 days, up 2 weeks from last year.

Phil Osborne here with the Lehigh Valley Wealth Center Weekly Mortgage Market Update.
Mortgage bonds went out with the trash this week along with Wachovia’s CEO pushing mortgage rates .25-.5% higher. Bond traders moved to stocks in the later half of the week after some good news in the corporate world from Wal Mart and Verizon. Also pushing mortgage rates higher was continuing news of inflation from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. Big Ben carries a lot of weight and his concern over inflation sent shock waves into the bond market.
Our economy faces tough times ahead, so what are doing to prepare for the coming change? At the Wealth Center we believe that a properly structured mortgage and debt management plan can be the solution to the liquidity crises many Americans are facing. At the Wealth Center we deliver a mortgage and a plan that will help you succeed in today’s economy.
