Chicago Illinois Current Mortgage Rates for Today, 03/02/2010
Mortgage rates are flat today and holding their own even as we have a good day 
other states may be slightly different, give me a call in the stock market. The economic reports released over the last few days continue to be a mixed bag. Inflation continues to come in low, which is good news for keeping mortgage rates low, but there are also signs that the economy is gradually improving (or maybe a better description would be bottoming). In housing, residential spending was higher, a big surprise since this had been down for 9 months in a row, The inventory of homes on the market continued to rise, so no one expects a real pick up in new construction until the supply of homes stabilizes. Mortgage bonds continue to trade near the best part of their range, but the consensus is still that rates are likely to rise.
Here are the current Chicago Illinois Home mortgage rates for an A+ (740 Fico or above), full doc single family home purchase or rate/term refinance on a 45 day rate lock, with 0 points, and no origination fee. Mortgage rates in and I will give you an accurate quote for your particular situation. The conventional and FHA rates are based on the highest conforming loan amounts, which give the best pricing. Again, there are many factors which affect mortgage rates and your ability to be approved for a loan. These rates may not fit your situation and this is just a sample of the programs that are out there. If you would like a quote for your personal situation, or to get pre-approved for a mortgage, give me a call or contact me (Illinois mortgage company) and I’ll take the time to find the rate and program that is best for you:
