just more sellers of mortgage backed securities than buyers today. Buyers saw better opportunities in other securities. MBS and treasuries just got priced too high for the yield and corrected the other direction for other risk profiles.

Wouldn't really call that price fixing.

Lsu13lsu is right too although the Fed's over night rate that banks lend each other has some dictate on long term MBS and treasuries those two don't have to go the same way at the same time.

Definitely up. Market up plus lenders pricing to slowdown right now. Can’t keep up

i wouldn't fret, when all these lenders slow down on the 30 day locks, someone will get hungry and start pricing again. They have to eat, and the fed has free money

I was quoted last week.

Officially locked yesterday: 15 year @2.375.

Down from 4.375 over 30.

Monthly payment only going up about $250/month. I wasn't investing it anyway, just spending it.

Putting it towards our house is a fantastic way of forcing myself to "invest" it.

I am locked in for 3.125% on a 30 year and getting rid of PMI which was my main goal. I have to roll a few thousand into the new loan but monthly payment is coming down. Percentage rate is coming down from 3.625%.

Damn my bank rates (usaa) went up over a full point overnight. My current rate is 3.25 so not a huge opportunity for me in either case but was going to jump on it once it got to 2.75 for the 30

That is a fantastic transition and deal. Definitely worked it as good as anyone I've seen in this thread. When did you start the 4.375?

Nice, I almost pulled the trigger from 3.75 to 3, but I JUST did that refinance last year. I was hoping for a below 3, 30 year offer. Had I gotten around 2.875 I probably would have done it. Still extremely happy to be below 4 regardless. Insane how low rates have been in general.

These rates are making me want to pull-in a house purchase sooner than I expected.

10 yr yield has started to make push back town to .8%. Real curious how this over night action will be.

Liquidation seemed to be the play today across almost everything. What next?

Right? Might be time to slide into something a little bigger.

Yield still falling sharply since the travel ban news and not stopping. Those who missed out on a refi opportunity may get another shot tomorrow if the trend continues.
