Gas prices are expected to be in the $7 range by August nationwide (already $6+ in California). Some interesting stats came out today:

  • Year-over-year appreciation on home prices rose 20.9%
  • FED is likely to stay the course and increase rates during their meeting this month 14th – 15th.
  • FHA and VA rates are in the mid 4’s and Conventional rates are mid to upper 5’s
  • Interest rate buydowns are back in fashion along with ARM’s
  • Good amount of fallout on the builders’ side. They are now treating Realtors with respect once more

We are keeping an eye on all of our clients and regularly re-evaluating their sales prices to ensure that they still qualify for the loans they were initially pre-approved for. We will keep you updated with all things rates so stayed tuned!
