Good morning and happy hump day! Today was a big news day, with Mortgage Applications early, then Housing Starts and Building Permits for Oct. Mortgage Applications for the week ending Nov. 12 followed a strong +5.5% for the prior week and came in -2.8% today. On the Housing Starts and Building Permits numbers, the street was looking for +1.5% and +2.8% respectively and got -0.7% and +4.0%. Tying up loose ends, we had the builder’s sentiment report yesterday, and their Housing Market Index came in higher than expected at 83. They were looking for an unchanged 80 on it.

In other news today, rents for single-family homes rose 10.2% in Sept. year-over-year. High prices in the for-sale market and job growth boosted the percentage. If you haven’t looked at your property taxes recently, they’re also up about that much, give or take.

In the bond market, 10yr T-Notes are +4/32 to yield 1.62%, and in MBS Fannie, 30yr 2.50% are +3/32 to $102-10, which is a 1.97% yield and +72 to the 5yr treasury curve. That’s it from MBS central. Have a great day and call or email with your MBS and loan inquiries.
