Maine Mortgage Rate Update for August 9, 2010
Here are some of the events affecting Maine mortgage rates today:
What Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) Are Doing Today:
- The price of the FNMA 30-Year 4.0% MBS coupon opened at 102.78 this morning – the same as Friday’s close.
- At 9:30 AM, the 4.0% MBS coupon was trading at 102.72 – down 2/32 from its opening.
Remember, on mortgage backed securities (MBSs), as the price goes down, the yield goes up – and so do mortgage rates. I expect that Maine mortgage rates will be about the same in price this morning as compared to Friday.
