Seattle and Bellevue Real Estate Mortgage Rates held their positive gains from yesterday.  The retail sales report from August met Wall Street’s expectations.  It is unusual to see both the bond and stock market rise together, but that is what we have experienced so far today.  We remain in a neutral position for locking your interest rate.  If you are in a short term position, you may want to consider securing the current rate, as it is the best in the past 10 days.  For daily impacting news, please check out our Economic Calendar.
