Chicago Illinois Current Mortgage rates for Today, 01/14/2010
14th January 2010
Did you know that today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day? I’m not sure that this has anything to do 
with Chicago mortgage rates, but I am amazed at what people will do to their pets. I had a client who had a side business knitting sweaters for dogs, which she sold over the internet adding a good deal to her monthly income. It is good that there are so many resourceful people out there, because the job market is still weak. Initial unemployment claims for the week came in worse than expected today, meaning that the jobs picture is still a mess. Retail sales were also off. The expectation was for a gain of .5%, but the results were a loss of .2%. But bad news is good for mortgage rates, so mortgage rates are a little better today, and the trend is moving in the right direction.
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 other states may be slightly different, give me a call 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:
Conventional loans up to $417,000
| 30 year fixed rate | 5.00% | 5.167% APR |
| 15 Year fixed Rate | 4.375% | 4.549% APR |
| 5-1 A.R.M. | 4.125% | 4.289% APR |
For Jumbo loans over $417,000
| 30 Year Fixed Rate* | 6.00% | 6.137%* APR |
| 7-1 A.R.M. | 4.875% | 5.095% APR |
(Another option is to break your Jumbo loan into 2 parts – conventional to the limit of $417,000 and a HELOC or fixed second mortgage for the rest. The blended rate is usually much better than a single loan would be.)
FHA LOANS – 3.5% down payment – FHA Maximum varies by County
| FHA 30 year fixed | 4.875% with 1 Pt | 5.227% APR |
| FHA 30 year fixed | 5.00% with 0 Pts | 5.278% APR |
| FHA 5-1 ARM | 4.375% with 1Pt | 4.866% APR |
| FHA 5-1 ARM | 4.625% with 0 Pts | 4.872% APR |
FHA APR reflects 3.5% down payment and the effect of mortgage insurance on the loan. Call for information on no-cost FHA streamlined Refinances
