Wow...big disparity today with the Employment report!  Against a consensus forecast of 200K jobs added, we only ended up adding 74K jobs in November. This was the smallest monthly increase in jobs since January, 2011. Given that several labor market indicators showed greater strength in December, some economists feel that bad weather was a major factor in the shortfall, as the construction sector was particularly weak. This daily mortgage interest rate report is designed to provide Borrowers & Real Estate Profesionals with factual data regarding where rates are at any given time and what trends are propelling current mortgage pricing on any given day.

Start saving now!  You will need to save money for the following types of home buying expenses:•    Credit report fee•    Earnest money deposit (EMD)•    Total down payment•    Home inspections•    Appraisal•    Closing costs Here are some creative ways you can come up with cash: Savings account.  Start saving a portion of your paycheck automatically every month with payroll deduction.  Your local credit union can help you set this up. Gift from your parents — a certain amount may be tax deductible.  Again, this is NOT a loan, it would be a gift.  (However, there may be strings attached: your parents may want to help you select the house.) Bonus or commission from your job.  Either a year-end bonus or a one-time bonus will really help.  Sock it away and resist the temptation to spend it...

The roller coaster ride continues! Weaker than expected employment data was bad news for the economy, but good for mortgage rates. The Unemployment Rate declined from 7.4% to 7.3%, however it was due to consumers dropping out of the labor force rather than job gains. The labor force participation rate dropped to its lowest level since 1978. The market improved initially on this news, but has declined (rapidly) ever since. See charts below for details...
