Daily Mortgage Update from A&N; Mortgage
26 May 2009 - Mortgage rates are holding steady today, after going up late last week. Tuesday morning the Nasdaq, Dow, and S&P are all up 2% or more. I would expect this to mean another jump up in mortgage rates, but what we expect and what actually happens these days aren’t always the same. It was big news this weekend that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are in trouble financially and organizationally. I honestly didn’t think this was news. They’ve never really been “out of trouble.” Freddie is CEO-less, after having had a couple within a few years, and the CFO died of an apparent suicide not too long ago. Both agencies have been living on federally funded life support, but I don’t foresee the federal government letting them fail, being that helping clean up the mortgage and housing mess has been central in the Obama administration’s agenda.
