Seattle Real Estate Mortgage Rates Today 4/1/11

Seattle / Bellevue Real Estate Mortgage Rate Watch: After the release of the Unemployment report which beat market expectations an interesting comment came from Fed President Lacker. He mentioned that the Fed’s will have a rate hike by December to control inflation. Inflation keeping in mind is the enemy of bonds and mortgage rates. This also comes just after the CEO of Walmart stating that due to Core Inflation prices of goods and foods will increase even more by the end of spring. All fueled by the rising cost of OIL which has huge impacts on everything. Today the bond market reacted poorly to the report but made a bounce back, BUT still unable to make any meaningful gains to erase the losses from Thursday. Rating the overall performance of Mortgage Rates for the week, Rates closed higher after factoring daily markets since Monday.
