Mortgage Watch Report

download (24)

Mortgage Rates are flat to slightly lower from last Friday.  This is due to global central bank’s aggressively tightening money supply and raising rates to fight off inflation.  This tightening points to a reduction in global economic growth outlook, and as a result there is a flight to the safety here in the US Capital Markets.  It’s this flow of new capital from global investors to US Treasuries and Mortgage Backed Securities that has helped to reduce rates.  In conjunction with this dynamic, TODAY stocks are posting the 3rd daily gain in a row with the S&P, DOW, and Nasdaq “currently” posting daily gains > 2%.

Bottom Line: in the short term, floating is recommended.  However, with market volatility, this advise could change on a dime, so please stay in touch with me.

Tim Morissette, also known in the community as Mr. Foothill Ranch, offers over 46 years of real estate experience which has given him an established reputation and unmatched market knowledge. He is joined by his wife, Michele and sons Matt and Jeff, as they continue to offer personal service with an emphasis on achieving his clients’ real estate goals.  This unique combination of traits has led to his proven track record of referral and repeat business. This can be witnessed by the trust of homeowners in Foothill Ranch where he has sold twice as many homes and represented three times more buyers than the next-leading real estate agent for the last 26 years.

As residents of Foothill Ranch since 1994, Tim and Michele are actively involved in the community by fundraising for Foothill Ranch Library, Make-a-Wish Foundation, Cancer Society, Homes for Habitat, Relay for Life, South County Outreach, and the local church and schools. Tim enjoys sponsoring community-wide garage sales, paper shredding and e-waste recycling event, an Easter egg hunt, & a Meet Santa Event.

Tim and Michele are dedicated to their family of four sons, daughter-in-laws, and grandchildren. As a family, they enjoy many outdoor activities which include camping, spearfishing, mountain climbing and exploring the miles of hiking and equestrian trails in Foothill Ranch and the Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park. Tim and his sons are also avid snowboarders and enjoy mountain biking and lobster diving. Family is a top priority in the Morissette household. They look forward to helping more families achieve their dreams of homeownership.
