Will it go lower? Maybe but not by much. It’s unpredictable too, so take your 3% and smile because you’ll have bragging rights around the BBQ this summer! Oh, wait….

I continue to believe Q4 was the bottom of the real estate market.
We continue to see more foot traffic at open houses and multiple offers. With mortgage rates now at a 2 month low, I’m optimistic we’re going to see a healthy spring market.
Sources close to the DSG have notified us that San Diego Padres Superstar Juan Soto has purchased a house in a gated community in Coronado.
To us, it seems like something someone who wants to spend the rest of their lives in San Diego would do.
Extension coming soon?
Rates are finally reflecting the current MBS market…previously investors were increasing their margins due to the volatility and they were too busy to take on new business.
Below are our rates for 30 year fixed on both Purchase and Rate and Term Refinances:
2.990% with total costs of $1,624
2.875% with total costs of $3,471
2.750% with total costs of $6,039
Above is based on: a loan amount of $400,000 | 740+ credit score | <=60% LTV | California Only

welp……I need a jumbo refi……so I am stuck in amber until those APRs start with a 3
How about 2.75% for five years? You ain’t going to be there forever.
One of the biggest contractions has been in loans that require minimal documentation to prove a borrower’s ability to repay and that can’t be sold to or insured by government entities. Such loans — often referred to as non-QM mortgages — are popular with self-employed borrowers who don’t get W-2 forms detailing their wages.
Some major non-QM lenders have announced they’ve stopped issuing loans altogether. That includes Irvine-based Impac Mortgage Holdings, which works with outside brokers as well as directly with borrowers under the name CashCall Mortgage.
Impac has cited uncertainty in the marketplace for its decision. Justin Moisio, the company’s chief administrative officer, did not respond to a request for comment.
Angel Oak said the loans were always only for self-employed borrowers. Previously, loan seekers could qualify using a personal bank statement, but that’s no longer an option.
To all those who are fairly confident their jobs will still be there tomorow, the money to assist Boeing etc. and those who have lost their jobs will not be borrowed from South Africa or Great Britain or eslewhere but will be printed by the US government so one must expect inflation to rise appreciably in consequence.
Locking in todays mortgage rates is therefore possibly quite a good idea.
Thanks andrewa!
