Bonds remained relatively steady this week with no major changes to interest rates.
We have seen a slight tweaking of fixed funds for high ratio or quick closings, offering a 5 year fixed at 2.99%.
Regular 5 year money is currently in the 3.09% – 3.19% range. We still have one lender, both conventional and high ratio, offering 10 year funds at 3.89%.
If you have a variable rate of any more than prime +.75 or a fixed rate of 4.0% or more, we should explore the merits of refinancing to a lower rate.
