    Is it a good time to go with a particular adjustable rate mortgage?

    May 18, 2006 by Ruben M | Posted in Renting & Real Estate

    With mortgage rates on the rise, is it prudent to pursue ANY type of adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) at this time? Or should home buyers be scrambling to lock in fixed rates?

    In a simple world, I'd consider this question to be a slam dunk,

    i would have to say no, rates are going to rise for some time, i would fix a good rate then when rates come down refinace at the lower rate and lock it in. only good time for an arm is when rates are really high so you catch the downward trend.

    No. I work in real estate, and even lenders tell me that an ARM should only be a last resort.

    The economy sucks. With Greenspan gone, all logic has left the FED. The tool they have there now, does whatever Mr. President tells him to.

    Do mortgage brokers receive a higher commission for delivering adjustable rate mortgages to the banks?

    Dec 29, 2007 by Craig R. Fechter, C{A | Posted in Personal Finance

    I'm a CPA but am not entirely sure how the mortgage brokering process works. I've received some sketchy information in the past indicating to me that the higher the rate is, the more of a commission the bank pays to the broker for bringing them the loan.

    It is true that the broker gets paid for an above par rate but not true that they are paid more for an adustable rate. The reason that some brokers and lenders for the matter push an adjustable rate is that it is lower than a fixed rate and "easier

    Yes. Their commission comes from the rate spread. Adjustable mortgages and all those fancy instruments have higher yield spread premiums.

    30-year mortgage rate hits record low of 3.83%

    18.05.12

    WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Following weak jobs data and stability concerns for Europe, mortgage rates hit record lows in the week ending May 10, with the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage average ticking down to 3.83% from 3.84% in the prior week, Freddie Mac said Thursday in its weekly report. These data go back to 1971. The rate was 4.63% a year earlier. To obtain the latest 30-year rate, payment of an average 0.7 point was required, according to Freddie, a buyer of residential mortgages. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage also fell to a record low, hitting 3.05% in the most recent week, compared with 3.07% in the prior week. These data go back to 1991. Meanwhile, the average rate on the 5-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage remained near a record low, declining to 2.81% from 2.85%. The 1-year Treasury-indexed ARM rose to 2.73% from a record low of 2.70% in the prior week.
