Long-Term Rates Down for Third Consecutive Week

09/18/2009
McLEAN, VA -- Freddie Mac (NYSE:FRE) today released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey (PMMS) in which the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage (FRM) averaged 5.04 percent with an average 0.7 point for the week ending September 17, 2009, down from last week when it averaged 5.07 percent. Last year at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 5.78 percent. The last time the 30-year FRM was lower was the week ending May 28, 2009, when it averaged 4.91 percent.
The 15-year FRM this week averaged 4.47 percent with an average 0.6 point, down from last week when it averaged 4.50 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.35 percent. This is the lowest the 15-year FRM has been since Freddie Mac started tracking it in 1991.
The five-year Treasury-indexed hybrid adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) averaged 4.51 percent this week, with an average 0.5 point, up from last week when it averaged 4.51 percent. A year ago, the 5-year ARM averaged 5.67 percent.
The one-year Treasury-indexed ARM averaged 4.58 percent this week with an average 0.5 point, down from last week when it averaged 4.64 percent. At this time last year, the 1-year ARM averaged 5.03 percent.
"Interest rates for fixed-rate mortgages eased for the third consecutive week and remained at 3-month lows," said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. "Interest rates for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages have averaged just above 5 percent through mid-September, which is roughly a percentage point below last year’s average and suggests that 2009 may reach a record annual low since the survey began in 1971."
"Low mortgage rates are aiding new home construction. Housing starts for single family homes have increased consecutively over the five past months ending in July, although starts eased slightly in August. Moreover, homebuilder confidence improved for the third straight month in September, with all four regions showing positive gains, according the National Association of Home Builder’s Housing Market Index."

4 Things Not to Forget on Moving Day

Four Things Not to Forget on Moving DayTim Johnson09/14/2009
You’re likely approaching moving day with equal parts excitement and dread.
The excitement: a new home, a new life – a fresh start!
The dread: moving. However, you can’t go from “Old, Boring Life” to “New, Exciting Life” without passing through “Moving Day.” Thankfully, the day itself needn’t be an ordeal, if you keep in mind four things you absolutely should not forget to do.
1. Don’t forget to make sure everything is loaded on the van.
It’s not unheard of for moving companies to neglect to load some items, so before they leave, make sure you go through the house to ensure everything’s on the moving van. And don’t overlook those places where things like to hide, particularly your closets and cabinets. We’re aware of one recent mover who missed a closet full of Christmas decorations – and had to spend $250 to ship them to her new place.
2. Don’t forget to have a plan for your kids or pets.
A house that’s being packed up is no place for a kid or a pet. They tend to get underfoot, which can pose dangers to both the movers and your kid/pet. Your best bet is to have someone watch them – have the kids stay with relatives, and get a kennel for your pet. If you don’t have that luxury, have them in a separate room with the door locked and with plenty of toys and/or a TV to occupy them. Pack that room last when loading the truck; when unloading the truck, unpack that room first so they’re occupied while the rest of your house is unpacked.
3. Don’t forget to pack.
OK, you might not forget to pack, but you might not give yourself enough time to get it done by the time moving day rolls around. Here’s why that’s such a bad thing. First, if you leave packing until the last second, you might have to pull an all-nighter to get it all done. Those might have been fun in college, but they’re no fun when you know there’s going to be a bunch of big burly guys showing up at 9 a.m. looking to move packed boxes. And being tired while packing is not a good idea, particularly if you’d like your items to show up in one piece at your new place. Even if a Herculean effort to get everything done doesn’t do the trick, the moving company will help you – but they’ll charge you for their labor and the moving supplies. These prices are pre-set by their tariff, and they’re not cheap. So be honest with yourself when packing: Can you get it all done yourself? And if you can, can you set aside enough time so it’s not done hastily at the last second?
4. Don’t forget to check your moving paperwork thoroughly.
On moving day, you’ll get two very important pieces of paper. The inventory is a listing of the items that will be moved, as well as their condition, and usually the driver compiles it. Make sure you agree with the assessment of your belongings. That’s important in case you need to file a claim for damages; if it was listed in damaged condition before the move, you might not be able to claim much. (You can also use the inventory to check off that you received everything that was loaded onto the moving van.) The bill of lading is essentially the contract for your move. It should match the estimates that you received when you got the quote for your move. The time to contest any charges is before you sign the bill of lading, so make sure you do so.
To learn more moving terminology, VanLines.com provides a thorough list of moving-related terms.
Moving can be one of life’s most stressful experiences, but it shouldn’t prevent you from looking forward to your new home and all the excitement that comes with it. Keep these four tips in mind as you plan for the “Big Day,” and you’ll be heading off to your new place with a strong start.
