Here is an excerpt from the excellent website, Mortgage New Daily:
Before you stop paying your bills in the hope of cashing in, let’s separate fact from fiction. First and most importantly, you will absolutely NOT get a better deal on a mortgage rate if your credit score is lower, even if your nephew just texted you a screenshot of a news headline saying “620 FICO SCORE GETS A 1.75% FEE DISCOUNT” and “740 FICO SCORE PAYS 1% FEE.” MATTHEW GRAHAM – MORTGAGE NEWS DAILY
I strongly encourage you to read the rest of his article here: https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mortgage-rates-04212023 It is well-written and informative and takes the political bias and opinion out of the explanation. Just the facts. And yes, it has gotten more expensive to get a home loan–for everyone.
But to really understand what’s changed, you need to first understand that mortgage rates have a price. In other words, each rate on a rate sheet is associated with a price or fee and that price/fee goes up and and down with the rate you choose, based on how much money you want to borrower, what your credit score is and how much down payment you’re bringing to the purchase. There are a few other factors that determine rate and that is why it is so difficult to answer your question: “What are rates like today?”
With that out of the way, sometimes an interest rate comes at cost to you (that’s what we all know as “Points”) and sometimes that price/fee is a rebate to you (that’s how some lenders will quote you a “no cost loan”). What’s in the middle is something called “PAR”. This is the fancy Wall Street word for “Neutral”, meaning you don’t pay points and you don’t get a rebate. The price for mortgage rates has been increased at the direction of the Federal Housing Finance Administration because they don’t believe they are making enough money and raising these fees (because inflation). The FHFA believes this will help them maintain the financial health of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac–the two Government Sponsored Entities that purchase many of the home loans that are originated in the United States.
Here’s a picture proving that home loans for the purpose of purchasing just got more expensive for us all:
Now, Fannie and Freddie have what is called a “Duty to Serve” and that requires them to be focused on helping first time home buyers get into homes. That is why the chart above shows that a smaller down payment and a lower credit scores appears to be getting a better deal than say someone with higher credit and a larger down payment.
But let’s take the following example, if you have two borrowers, one with a 700 FICO and 20% down, and another with 640 and 5% down, the LLPAs (1.500%) are in fact the same, creating an “equal” playing field. However, if you have both come in with 5% the higher FICO score gets an improvement to LLPA of 0.625%, whereas if the lower FICO borrower comes in with 20%, their LLPA is 1.375% higher. With the latter, a mortgage of $600,000 results in $8,250 of additional costs to the lower credit score borrower. The point here is that the FHFA is working to create more affordable housing for those that have lower credit scores and by assumption a smaller down payment.
After Weeks of Decline, Mortgage Rates Increase
For the first time in over a month, mortgage rates moved up due to shifting market expectations. Home prices have stabilized somewhat, but with supply tight and rates stuck above six percent, affordable housing continues to be a serious issue for potential homebuyers. Unless rates drop into the mid five percent range, demand will only modestly recover.
The latest data showed signs of strength in the housing market while the labor sector is getting weaker. Plus, an important recession signal continues to reflect a slowing economy. Don’t miss these stories:
What the Media Gets Wrong About Home Prices
Home Builders Need to be “Starting” Something
NAHB Reports Cautious Optimism Among Home Builders
Job Market Getting Weaker
Recession Signal Flashing
What the Media Gets Wrong About Home Prices
Existing Home Sales fell 2.4% from February to March to a 4.44 million unit annualized pace, per the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which was in line with estimates. Sales were 22% lower than they were in March of last year. This report measures closings on existing homes, which represent around 90% of the market, making it a critical gauge for taking the pulse of the housing sector.
What’s the bottom line? While it’s true that buyer activity slowed in March, February was an especially strong month for closings, so a slight pullback last month was understandable.
In addition, multiple data points suggest that demand remains strong. Homes stayed on the market on average for 29 days, down sharply from 34 days in February. Plus, 65% of homes sold in March were on the market for less than a month, which is up from 57% and shows homes are selling quickly when they’re priced correctly. Meanwhile, investors accounted for 17% of transactions last month, making up roughly one out of every six deals. Clearly investors are seeing the opportunity in housing right now.
Also of note, there was a 0.9% decline in the median home price to $375,700 from a year earlier. However, this is not the same as a decline in home prices as some media reports implied.
The median home price simply means half the homes sold were above that price and half were below it, and this figure can be skewed by the mix of sales among lower-priced and higher-priced homes. In fact, we could see home prices increase across all price categories, but the median price could still fall if the concentration of sales was on the lower end. Actual appreciation numbers are higher, not lower, on a year-over-year basis according to key reports from Case-Shiller, CoreLogic and the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
Home Builders Need to be “Starting” Something
Construction of new homes slowed in March, with Housing Starts falling nearly 1% from February. Building Permits, which are indicative of future supply, also fell 8.8% for the month. While Starts and Permits for single-family homes both ticked higher from February to March, they were significantly lower than in March of last year.
What’s the bottom line? The housing sector is undersupplied, and not enough inventory is heading to the market. Starts for single-family homes have been on a downward trend over the last year, with the pace of 1.191 million units in March 2022 falling all the way to 861,000 units this March. Single-family permits have followed the same pattern, declining from a pace of 1.163 million units to 818,000 over the same period.
With single-family homes remaining in high demand among buyers, the imbalance between supply and demand should continue to be supportive of prices.
NAHB Reports Cautious Optimism Among Home Builders
The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Housing Market Index, which is a near real-time read on builder confidence, rose one point to 45 in April, marking the fourth straight month this measure has increased. Among the components of the index, current sales conditions rose two points to 51 while sales expectations for the next six months increased three points to 50. Buyer traffic remained unchanged at 31.
What’s the bottom line? Home builder confidence has now risen 14 points since the low of 31 in December. Present sales conditions returned to expansion territory (over 50) for the first time since last September, while the future sales outlook is right at the breakeven between expansion and contraction at its highest level since June. Even though the overall confidence reading remains below 50 in contraction territory, sentiment continues to rebound in the right direction.
Job Market Getting Weaker
Initial Jobless Claims continued to move higher this month, with the number of people filing for unemployment benefits for the first time rising by 5,000 in the latest week to 245,000. This tied the third highest reading so far this year. Continuing Jobless Claims also surged to 1.865 million, up 61,000.
What’s the bottom line? Continuing Claims measure people who continue to receive benefits after their initial claim is filed and this data clearly shows that hiring has slowed. While the number can be volatile from week to week, the overall trend has been higher with an increase of around 576,000 since the low reached last September.
Plus, there’s greater evidence of workforce reductions as the four-week average of Initial Jobless Claims, which smooths out some of the weekly fluctuation among first-time filers, has hovered around 240,000 at a yearly high in recent weeks.
Recession Signal Flashing
The Conference Board released their Leading Economic Index (LEI) for March, which was down 1.2%, falling to “its lowest level since November of 2020, consistent with worsening economic conditions ahead,” said Justyna Zabinska-La Monica, Senior Manager, Business Cycle Indicators. This report is a composite of economic indexes and can signal peaks and troughs in the business cycle.
What’s the bottom line? The Conference Board explained that a warning signal occurs when the LEI 6-month growth rate on an annualized basis breaks beneath 0%. But a break beneath -4.2%, like we saw last month, is a recession signal that has been highly accurate historically. The Conference Board also stated that they believe the U.S. will enter a recession “starting in mid-2023.”
What to Look for This Week
More housing news is ahead, starting with Tuesday’s release of home price appreciation data for February from the Case-Shiller Home Price Index and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) House Price Index. March’s New Home Sales will also be reported on Tuesday, while Pending Home Sales follows on Thursday.
Also on Thursday, the latest Jobless Claims data will be released along with the first reading for first quarter 2023 GDP. Friday brings perhaps the biggest news of the week with March’s reading for the Fed’s favored inflation measure, Personal Consumption Expenditures.
Technical Picture
Mortgage Bonds were able to stay above their 50-day Moving Average after testing it earlier in the day last Friday. The 10-year tested support at its 200-day Moving Average but remained above it at the end of last week.

Blame it on the sunshine – San Mateo County saw a nice increase in new listings of single-family homes and condos. We saw homes go pending this week while watching to see what closes. This is a nice indication that we should have a good Spring Real Estate season.
Santa Clara County has a lot of new listings and pending sales for single-family homes. Homes went pending while condos saw a bit of a slowdown. Homes are hot in Santa Clara County, and condo sales were a bit slow. Still, a good indication we’re heading into a good Spring.
San Francisco saw pending sales go up – meaning buyers our out and writing good offers. The condo market is a bit stronger in San Francisco – I’ll go with affordability on that one.

San Mateo County saw a nice uptick in new listings of single-family homes – including, pending and sold! This is lovely to see – nice weather bodes well for our market. An increase in pendings means accepted offers – and buyers are getting approved. We’re seeing Spring in the air and in our marketplace.
Santa Clara County saw a nice increase in accepted offers / pendings. Which means buyers are out there and writing offers. Multiple offers are still happening but not with every property – so please reach out for a custom analysis.
San Francisco saw a decrease in new listings and closings (sold) but pendings were up – echoing my previous thoughts – buyers are out and writing solid offers! The townhome/condo market had some nice gains – which relates with affordability.

Here’s our tri-county Market Snapshot for March 20-28 2023 📈📊📉 Sales are sluggish – I’m blaming the weather, we had to reschedule a few appointments due to the storm but I am proud to say – one of those pending sales in Santa Clara County was a huge WIN for The Caton Team and our client.
Whether selling a home or buyer, each market and price point is different – Let The Caton Team guide you to your goals. 🗝️ It’s what we do. How can The Caton Team Help You?
San Mateo County saw a slowdown in new listings, pendings and solds for this snapshot for both homes and condos. I think this is storm-related.
Santa Clara County saw a slow down – but The Caton Team had a win!
SF had an uptick in pendings! Glad to see the weather didn’t keep these buyers out.
In our personal experience, a few units went pending while we were on the way to show them. Two were over 30 days on the market and one sold right after the open house. Our client was successful by venturing off with us prior to the weekend and we had our offer accepted on Saturday evening, no need for the open house!
Looking forward to watching this market while guiding our clients to their goals. Let us know how we can be of service.

Here’s our tri-county Market Snapshot for the first half of March 2023 📈📊📉 Wow – What a month thus far. The market is feeling the shock of the SVB bailout – however – perhaps interest rates will stay where they are rather than rise as forecasted. Whether selling a home or buyer, each market and price point is different – Let The Caton Team guide you to your goals. 🗝️ It’s what we do. How can The Caton Team Help You?
The Mateo County saw a slowdown in new listings, pending and solds for this snapshot. A few homes even were pulled from the market. However, we saw an uptick in condo/townhome sales both in pending and solds. Savvy buyers getting in while they can.
San Francisco County saw an increase in new and active listings, while pendings and solds were down. I think this is a reflection of the price point and the job market in SF. But have no fear, Real Estate is a cycle, and this downturn in the market is what buyers have been waiting for – though the interest rate didn’t help their cause – but refinancing when rates come down will be an option.
Santa Clara saw the most change, with new and active listings down. However, sales made early in the month and February closed!
Over all, in the past week – we’ve noticed properties are having more interest, buyers are getting approved for loans and I’m seeing a few properties with offer dates and 3-5 offers.
