Treasury Note Auction Schedule and Mortgage Rates 0

Here we go again, with the 10 year treasury note auction coming up May 5th is the announcement and May 12th is the auction date and it will be interesting to see where the mortgage rates go. So far the 10 year treasury notes have found demand but how long will this last for………who knows. You also have another factor which is the government now has a bunch of mortgage backed securities and will want to start selling them off soon. It will be interesting to see how the pricing goes for mortgage backed securities and what it will cause the mortgage rates to do. Now for the answer to the always asked question, “What are the rates going to be?” or “When are the rates going up?” ……….the answer………… don’t know. :) The reason for not know is because we just don’t know how everyone’s demand is going to be for the items that tie into the mortgage rates. Best way to look at it, rates are truly at an ALL TIME LOW and you will never be able to get the EXACT lowest mortgage rate, so instead of trying to shoot for the lowest, just lock in and pay an extra $50 to $100 a month towards principal and it will all work out.  Since my previous post about the treasury note auctions had the dates for the auctions, thought I would give the link for the schedule again……….here is the treasury note auction schedule. Hope this helps :)   Love to hear your comments and what you think as well.

Mortgage Rate Roller Coaster, Treasury 10 Year Notes Find Demand 0

Looks like rising mortgage interest rates  might be delayed as I stated before. Treasury auction today shows demand is still there for 10 Year Notes which are one of the key plays tied into what mortgage rates look. Found this good article below and wanted to share with you guys. The key now is to watch the Treasury note schedule of when the auctions are for the 10 year notes and see how demand will be for the notes. If the auctions do not find demand then rates will rise, just not sure how high. Right now the mortgage interest rates are mainly speculation on the demand and this will cause a roller coaster ride. Hope you find this helpful :)
