In this Blog:  Home Loan mortgage rates are flat this week.  VA home loans fees that a VA borrower can pay for, eClosings comming soon and AWESOME Realtor Marketing Idea!

Home Loan Mortgage rates were almost flat last week, as the stock market gave back a little and bond traders socked the money into bonds.  But don't think this is a reversal of mortgage rates, we are still anticipating rates to be in the 5% by end of March.

Mortgage rates almost flat tis week, as another person gets busted for mortgage fraud

Rates flyto the moon this month, get your SWAG on!

Mortgage rates raise for the 3rd straight week, caused mainly by the US Stock Market.  Investors are focusing and not wanting to be left out of record gains in the stocks, while we are not seeing much conflict between Trump and North Korea.  Today we are pretty flat, as the Federal Budget is shut down and stocks are trying to figure out when it will be open up.  I anticipate flat rates until the Congress and the President acts.  Once that happens, hopefully today, they we will probably see stocks continue their rally and interest rates continue to go up.

Mortgage rates continue to climb for home loans in Boise and surrounding Idaho.  We are seeing less investment and more and more traders are pulling their money out of Bonds and into the red hot stock market.  This is going to continue until we start to get earnings from companines and traders start to see just how much the new Federal Tax plan affects the bottom line and profits.

We are also seeing quite a bit of cooling on the Korean Pensula, as the tit for tat between Rocket Man and Trump seem to be on simmer, probably due to the Olympic Games.  So we will see what happens once the games end.

Mortgage rates worsened a little last week, as the stock market continues to hit all time highs, forcing bonds higher, and thus taking mortgage rates higher. Upcoming events to watch out for, US Budget and Winter Olympics in Korea. US also moved another aircraft carrier towards Korea.
