New Listing: Stunning Lynnwood Home!
Mortgage rates match low of 4.32 percent
By ALAN ZIBEL, AP Real Estate Writer Alan Zibel, Ap Real Estate Writer
WASHINGTON – Rates on 30-year mortgages matched the lowest level in decades and rates on 15-year loans dropped to their lowest point in nearly 20 years.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday the average rate for 30-year fixed loans fell to 4.32 percent, the lowest on records dating back to 1971. That's down from 4.37 percent the previous week and equal to the average rate reached four weeks ago.
The average rate on 15-year fixed loans fell to 3.75 percent, the lowest on records dating back to 1991.
Rates have been at or near the lowest levels in decades since spring as investors poured money into the safety of Treasury bonds, lowering their yield. Mortgage rates tend to track those yields.
In recent weeks, Treasury yields have dipped as bond traders bet that the Federal Reserve will soon boost its Treasury purchases in the hope of giving the economy a lift. That has pushed down rates.
Still, historically low rates have done little to boost the struggling housing market, which had its worst summer in more than a decade.
Fall sales are not expected to be much better. High unemployment and weak job growth have kept people from buying homes. And many of the hardest-hit markets are bracing for a big wave of homes sold at foreclosure or short sales. A short sale is when a lender lets a homeowner sell for less than the mortgage is worth.
To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac collects rates from lenders around the country on Monday through Wednesday of each week. Rates often fluctuate significantly, even within a given day.
Rates on five-year adjustable-rate mortgages averaged 3.52 percent, down from 3.54 percent a week earlier. Rates on one-year adjustable-rate mortgages rose to an average of 3.48 percent from 3.46 percent.
The rates do not include add-on fees known as points. One point is equal to 1 percent of the total loan amount. The nationwide fee for loans in Freddie Mac's survey averaged 0.8 a point for 30-year mortgages. It averaged 0.7 of a point for 15-year and 1-year mortgages and 0.6 of a point for 5-year mortgages.

Banks to Review Rejected Loans
Some banks are launching a “second look program” to review loans that have been denied in order to identify circumstances that might persuade underwriters to reverse their decisions.
The Financial Services Roundtable, a trade group of 100 financial companies, including Bank of America Corp., J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., and U.S. Bancorp. Bankers say these programs are starting to loosen the logjams that have made it so hard for both home buyers and small businesses to get loans.
"I don't think of it as being looser. I think of it as making good judgments," says Stephen D. Steinour, chairman, president and CEO of Huntington Bancshares Inc.

Home Buying and Selling Tips for Fall
Welcome to the Fall Season everyone! I personally love this time of year with the Holidays, football and crisp air.
HGTV’s real estate site Front Door says the weeks between now and the end-of-the year holidays are the best ones to find a bargain. Here are some of their tips for fall buyers and sellers:
Fall Sellers:
• Replace faded summer plants with fall-blooming flowers and add autumn decorations to the home.
• Expect low-ball offers and be prepared with higher counter offers.
• Freshen up listing photos by shooting pictures that make it less obvious that the seasons have changed.
• Price the home to sell. A price that is a little lower than the competition may be a winning move.
• Be willing to show the property and hold open houses whenever potential buyers are ready.
Fall Buyers:
• Look for motivated sellers who have a reason to move on by the end of the year.
• Explore new constructions. Builders are often particularly interested in selling before the new tax year.
• Beware of fall maintenance issues. Consider overflowing gutters and leaf-covered lawns warning signs.
• Shape offers carefully. Even in this market it is possible to turn sellers off with a too-low bid.
