Good morning and happy Monday! We’re back into housing news today with Pending Home Sales for the month of July. The street was looking for +0.4% after a -1.9% in June and got nowhere close, as today’s print came in down again at -1.8%. As you’ll recall, Pending Home Sales are contracts signed that have not yet been closed and tend to be used as a proxy for existing home sales.

Bonds today are up a little, with 10yr T-Notes +6/32 to yield 1.29%. In MBS land FNMA 30yr 2.50% are +10/32 to $103-30, which is a 1.50% yield and +85 basis points to the 4.2yr treasury curve. Have a great day, and email us with your MBS or loan inquiries!
