Why do mortgage rates keep going up after the Fed lowers their interest rate?

Mortgage rates are not driven by fed rates. They are driven by the bond market, which competes with mortgage backed securities for capital. Investors need to buy the mortgages from the originators, and the rates are determined by their pricing models.

As a previous poster noted, mortgage rates follow the 10 year treasury most closely. The spread between the 10 year and mortgage rates has been increasing due to increased fears of inflation (which the fed cuts make even worse) and the general perceived riskiness in the mortgage market (forclosure rate?). As such, investors are saying they'd rather invest in other securities because the rates are not paying them enough for the risk they are taking. That is why rates sometimes go up when the fed cuts.

What are good indicators for future mortgage loan interest rates?

I worked in the mortgage industry for many years. Rates this week are great. The 10 year T-Bill, which the 30 year mortgage rate is at historic lows. 30 Year mortgages are not going to get much better.

Since you are quoting a 5% rate, I would think you are looking at a 1 year ARM and not a long term fix loan. The long terms loans will probably drop a bit more since they are tied to the federal funds rates (ie short term rates). The fed seems prepared to lower the rates.

With that said, you have a really rate and Im not sure it is worth the gamble for it to drop much more.

PARADE Magazine | 30-year loan rates hit record low 4.85 percent

March 28th, 2009

Here is a new Post at PARADE Magazine | 30-year loan rates hit record low 4.85 percent.

loan rates?

The formula I found for this is:

P = Cr(1 + r)?/[(1 + r)? - 1]

where C is the amount of the loan ($9600), r is the interest rate, and n is the number of months (5 × 12 = 60).

Again with the interest rate, to make it realistic, you don't mean that it's 6.2% compounded monthtly. You mean that it's 6.2% annually, compounded monthly, which makes the actual monthly interest rate 6.2%/12 = 0.51666666667%.

P = $9,600(0.0051666666667)(1 + 0.0051666666667)^60/[(1 + 0.0051666666667)^60 - 1]

P = $186.49 per month

Which means that, after 60 months, she will have actually paid:

$186.49 × 60 = $11,189.34

on her initial loan of $9,600.
