Long Beach Island Mortgage Update

Rates trended higher in the last week as stocks fell back in response to increased trade tensions. While it is important to follow interest rates, the pullback from the stock market can actually be more impactful for the LBI NJ real estate market as many buyers in this market have their funds invested. For the week ending June 21, Freddie Mac announced that 30-year fixed rates decreased to 4.57% from 4.62% the week before. The average for 15-year loans fell to 4.04% and the average for five-year adjustables remained at 3.83%. A year ago, 30-year fixed rates averaged 3.90%. Attributed to Sam Khater, Chief Economist, Freddie Mac — “Rates remained mostly tranquil heading into the first week of summer, declining five basis points to 4.57 percent. After a sharp run-up in the early part of 2018, rates have stabilized over the last three months, with only a modest uptick since March. However, existing-home sales have hit a wall, declining in six of the last nine months on a year-over-year. This indicates that persistently low supply levels, and not this year’s climb in rates, are handcuffing sales – especially at the lower end of the market. Home shoppers can’t buy inventory that doesn’t exist.” This is very true on Long Beach Island as there are far more buyers for “good” homes than there are homes available.Note: Rates indicated do not include fees and points and are provided for evidence of trends only. They should not be used for comparison purposes.
