Chicago Illinois Current Mortgage Rates for Today, 01/29/2010
29th January 2010
All the reports released today showed signs of an improving economy – GDP (gross 
domestic Product) showed an increase of 5.7% for the 4th quarter, a full point better than expectations., Chicago PMI and the consumer confidence index also came in stronger than expected. Improvement in the economy (Good News) means a possibility of inflation down the road, so this is usually cause for the mortgage bond market to sell off and for mortgage rates to rise. But today the opposite occurred. Mortgage rates took in all the good news and improved (marginally ) in spite of it. Go figure. The real reason mortgage rates are better is because first, we are still in the same range, and traders are picking their buy and sell points based on points in this range, which means we will head back the other way sometime next week. The second reason for the improvement is because stocks sold off again today. When money comes out of stocks, bonds, and mortgages improve. Whether this trend will continue, or not, we will know soon enough. In the mean time, rates are great, and if you are in a position to lock, you are going to get a great rate.
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 |

(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.)
