Mortgage Rates under pressure today

Jeff Tarbell — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 00:39:28 +0000

Jobs are increasing, housing starts too but the big pressure on rates is inflation. Core inflation and increased manufacturing helping to pull rates UP today. That withstanding, rates remain at 60 yr low levels!

payroll tax extension

i am very concerned about the continual slight of hand to attempt to help one group with an issue while simultaneously hurting them on the other hand. the extension of payroll tax benefits by financing those reductions on the back of first time and low income home buyers is a shame and a sham. burying fees in the fannie/freddie/FHA loan programs hurts those who are doing most to help spur economic growth. adding fees to perscription drugs hurts the elderly with the least to pay. WE are allowing those most able to work the chance to continually sit on the rear while we penalize the young buyers and elderly citizens, who also vote!
