Another week, same old story. 

Mortgage markets improved again last week on worsening news out of Greece and the Eurozone. Then, as contagion mentality set in, U.S. mortgage bonds gained and mortgage rates fell.

It’s the 4th straight week in which conforming mortgage rates in Washington State improved and, against the expectations of experts everywhere, it’s now late-May and mortgage rates are as low as they’ve been all year.

If you’re a homeowner and haven’t looked at refinancing lately, it may be a good time to call your loan officer to hear your options. Especially because low rates can’t last forever.

The European market concerns are likely overblown and the U.S. economy continues to expand at a measured pace.

This week, housing and inflation data takes center stage.

• Monday : Existing Home Sales data
• Tuesday : Case-Shiller Index; Home Price Index
• Wednesday : New Home Sales data
• Thursday : GDP
• Friday : Personal Consumption Expenditures

Each of these data points has the power to move mortgage rates — especially because trading volume is expected to thin as the 3-day weekend nears. As volume drops on Wall Street, it will be harder to match buyers and sellers and, as a result, mortgage pricing will get (more) erratic.

Rates should be most stable at the start of the week. It may be the best time to lock a rate. Call CU Mortgage Division at (360) 539-4687 or visit www.williamatuning.com .

At CU Mortgage Division, our priority is to ensure that every detail of your loan process is managed in a timely and ethical manner. As a branch of Network Funding LP (NMLS 2297) they fund all of our mortgage loans making us a Direct Mortgage Lender. This gives us the power to provide the lending options that are most appropriate for our customers and in-house as well as timely underwriting decisions. We have the resources to fulfill all your home financing needs and the flexibility to meet the demands of an ever-changing market.

What makes CU Mortgage Division different from everyone else? Well for one thing we are in total control of the loan process from start to finish; this means fast turn times, timely loan approvals and most closings in less than two weeks. We offer lender fees from $300 to $700 less than our competitors. And unlike big banks who offer mortgages as a small part of their business plan, mortgage lending is our only business-period.

Consider the gigantic mega bank for a moment. Your loan may be shipped far away to a processing center in another state where the final decision will be made by a total stranger.

For you this means red tape and precious time. A mega bank’s lack of personal service means you will not benefit from comparing your individual needs with the wide selection of products and competitive rates that are available throughout the marketplace.

As we said, we’re different. We have teamed up with Network Funding LP & O Bee Credit Union to offer you the finest mortgage products available. CU Mortgage Division was started with a mission to originate, underwrite and close quality mortgage loans. By offering local service and professionalism that is second to none our company has closed millions of dollars in mortgages for your neighbors and many members of O Bee Credit Union.

We are a full-service direct mortgage lender, serving the needs of home buyers throughout the Pacific Northwest. Our approach to lending is very much localized with our office being staffed by local people who know and understand the local market, and are committed to providing their neighbors with competitive rates and concerned, professional, personalized service.

At CU Mortgage Division we care about the communities we serve and we share many advantages. One is a solid reputation for integrity, which we have earned by honoring our commitments with our many satisfied customers and O Bee Credit Union members. Another is an understanding that we are not in the banking business – we are in the people business. We never forget that our customers make our success possible – and our customers are people. At our office, inside of O Bee Credit Union, you’ll find that understanding expressed in a friendly smile, a genuine welcome, and a commitment to finding a mortgage solution that works for you.
