Manufacturing, Fed, trade war, and other factors hang over rates
https://ift.tt/2EbrLjb
These are the three areas that have the greatest ability to impact mortgage rates this week: Fed, Trade War,...
Message: We have a good number of economic reports due out this week that has the potential to move mortgage rates. Rates have been moving sideways for some time now. It would take something unexpected, like a complete breakdown in trade talks, to push rates lower. Look for rates to move sideways to higher on relatively modest volatility. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #Markets #ChinaTrade #TheFed

Message: Since the beginning of this year, investors and analysts have wrestled with what the Fed may or may not do with interest rates this year. The past three weeks the shift of sentiment has moved the needle to most thinking that the Fed is likely done increasing rates this year, and there are even a few speculating the Fed’s next move on rates will be to lower them. <<== As usual... speculation rules the markets. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #InterestRates #FedMinutes

Message: While we have some critical housing data this week that we will want to pay attention to, there's nothing due out that is likely to move rates. Markets will be paying closest attention to the trade negotiations with China. If trade talks completely breakdown, we could see rates push lower. Otherwise, rates are likely to move sideways for the week. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #realestate #markets #Fed #China

The National Association of REALTORS® Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features has some fascinating data illustrating how curb appeal and landscaping affects the value of a home, beating out nearly every indoor project for payback.

According to the study, the median cost for doing all of the above is $4,750. Return value? $5,000.

Message: Did you know that decking used to be an afterthought in most backyards several decades ago? Decks were built to hold barbecues or a few garbage cans — stuff that belonged outdoors that needed to be located close to the house. Over time, we saw decks getting bigger and bigger, custom-built to expand outdoor entertaining spaces. They began surrounding pools, stately trees, and made it easy to establish multitiered living spaces. Read more: http://bit.ly/2SxxoSX #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #DeckedOut

Message: TODAY'S RATE FORECAST: NEUTRAL Jobs: Weekly jobless claims this morning 234K -19K from last week’s increase due to the shutdown. Claims were thought to be 223K. Claims by former Federal workers totaled nearly 6,700 in the week, a decrease of more than 8,000 from the prior week. Though the 4-week average for initial claims is up 4,500 to 224,750 for the second rise in a row, the level is tracking only several thousand higher than mid-January which is an early and favorable indication for February's labor conditions. Jobs are still plentiful. #RaleighMortgage #TheMoreYouKnow #MortgageRates #RaleighRealEstate
