 Predicting Tomorrow's Mortgage Rates
Nobody can guarantee with 100% accuracy what mortgage interest rates will do on any given day.
However, close analysis of the Mortgage Bond market can reveal trends that let us predict how Mortgage Backed Securities — and the home loan rates that are affected by them — are likely to move with the market.
Should I lock? Should I float? What's your rate?
These are questions that loan originators are asked every day. In this brief video, MSS Chairman Barry Habib explains how Japanese Candlestick Chart Analysis can help you advise your clients, whether you are a mortgage broker or a mortgage banker.
Given the many other pressures facing mortgage professionals today — H.R. 1728 and the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC) to name a few — knowing more about the bond market can remove another layer of uncertainty, help you close more loans at favorable rates and profit from your knowledge. |
