What moves refinance mortgage rates? NASDAQ
When the European economy was threatened by instability in Greece and other countries, investors worldwide turned to American bonds as safe investments; that helped lower U.S. interest rates.
Mark Greenberg of Wealth & Tax Planners in Walnut Creek, Calif., says, "Long term rates are set by the 'market' (traders, banks, etc., i.e. the participants' collective wisdom about where rates should be). Mortgage rates, he explains, tend to follow the rates on 1, 5 and 10-year Treasury notes.
"As demand pushes bond prices up, they cost more, so they yield less (investors pay more for the same dividend amount). The converse is also true."
The Fed
Reading the financial news, it's easy to think that if your mortgage rate went up, it's because the Fed "raised" interest rates. That's simply not the way it works.
Savings institutions are required to maintain a certain level of deposits, called reserves, with the Federal Reserve Bank, to make sure that there is money to pay depositors when they want it. The Fed supervises overnight loans of these reserves from one bank to another to cover fluctuating needs for cash.

can we refinance home loan in India?
If we have home loan with one bank, Can we transfer/refinance to another bank? Please clarify.
Only your lender can tell you. There are international banks and some US banks that serve select clients (5th 3rd Bank). I found this out by working with some of my Indian clients who were using the closing company in PA that I am contracted with.
can I refinance my international home loan in US?
I am a resident of california. I have a home loan in India with an Indian bank. I want to refinance that loan with an US bank so that I pay in dollars and manage loan in US since all my income is from US and I live here. Do you know if there is any bank/credit union that can provide this service?
you can but ask
i doubt it. no US bank will know anything about the proper procedures in India relating to mortgages.
as best I understand the laws of both India and the US, there is no bank that does business in both countries -- not even a foreign to both countries bank.
Where can I find a lender who will refinance a home loan for a CLIENT WITH A 563 SCORE USING BANK STATEMENTS A
What is the LTV?
you'll need a broker to get banks to compete for your business. This way they'll run his credit once, and show prospective banks to see who bights.
if you go to individual banks, every bank will run credit and each time a credit report is ran, it takes a big hit on your score.
If you are looking for a stated income loan (showing only bank statements) with a credit score of 563 you will have a narrow group of companies or individuals who will lend to you. The street name for the type of loan you are looking for is "liar's loan". The proper name is stated income.
What you may find is that someone is willing to take th chance on lending to you, but the interest rate may not be something you can afford. You very well, in this market and with that credit score, end up paying in the mid to high double digits in an interest rate. Remember, always look at what the payment will be and truly judge if you can afford that. The rule of thumb is that no more than 30% of your income should go to housing. Therefore if you make $40,000 per year you should pay no more than 12,000 per year total on a house ($1,000 per month).
If you have a huge amount of credit card debt or other major payments (for example 2 car payments which take a huge chunk out of your monthly income) then you will need to lower the amount you can put toward a house to live comfortably.
Good Luck!
The big question is how the credit? You stated 563 FICO score, but what about the payment history? If you have no late mortgage payments the better off you are.
how can i refinance my home loan and borrow extra money from anther bank other then my own?
Extra costs like higher rates, legal fees, property valuation report fees and many other hidden costs may put U to a very bad disadvantage.
Consider every aspects before U commit otherwise forget about it.
Does refinancing a home loan require that you provide bank with income taxes?
Or does it only determine on the other factors such as credit score, equity etc ?
My mother who was interested in refinancing told me that she would like too refinance but cant because she did not earn enough income last year, could this really be a factor?
Refinancing home loan questions?
I have a home loan with IndyMac bank since summer of last year. The interest rate is 6.5%. My credit is good, mid 750s. I was wondering if banks (if you have this particular bank your info would be appreciated) refinance with their own current customers, and what the fees might be to do this.
And I want to refinance strictly for abetter interest rate. I have only paid off a few thousand of the loan, and I put zero down.
fees vary from bank to bank. Some banks don't charge a fee for their customers who have accounts with them.
Why are there closing costs when refinancing a home loan(other than a bank fee to process the loan)?
I think it is something that was put in by lawyers so they could earn more money. They all want to get their piece of the pie.
They provide free appraisals and low rates and fees.

Thank u in advance ...
It sounds like the other person just copied and pasted some random information from a website.
Hon there is not a risk; they all get their money from the Federal Reserve. What you will be dealing with is professionalism, turn around time, and fees. If you go with a smaller ma & pop shop, such as a broker or a Broker Banker, or a independant bank you are using the middleman. The Bigger banks pay these brokers a fee called a Yield Spread Premium, or YSP, to submit their loans to them. The brokers generate the application; collect the required documents outlined by the underwriter, and charge you their fees for doing so. The time in which it takes to complete the loan application depends on the speed of the broker and you to get to them what they ask for, and the volume the bank is dealing with at the time your information is submitted to them. With the broker, you are more likely to receive a higher level of "personal" attention then you would if you went with a bigger company such as WaMu, Wells, or BOA. The broker will shop around for you and determine the best loan program and interest rate based on your income, credit score, and loan amount, in addition to other determing information. Therefore, your chances are better for achieving what you are looking to accomplish with your refinance.
With the broker, you are an individual, a person if you will. With the bigger banks, you are just a loan number. It could take the bigger bank several weeks to months to complete the loan process in order to get you to the closing table. That is a risk in itself I guess. How long do you have to accomplish your refinance? If you are pressed for time due to an urgent payment of a debt, you may want to go the broker route. The brokers usually know right away which lender to send the loan to in order to speed up the process. They have worked with their banks fo choice in most cases for years and are familiar with the individuals there who they can count on to make things happen quickly. Either way the period is undetermined and relies on the factors listed above.
If you decide to go directly with a big bank, you would be only given what they have to offer. They are not going to shop around for you to find a different deal with another bank that may benefit you. If you don't take their deal and walk away, you will have to start all over with another bank. However, if you cut out the broker and go directly with a loan officer at the bigger bank, you will not pay the additional fees the broker would charge on top of the banks regulated fees. Therefore, you will be saving some money doing it that way when it comes to your final closing costs. If you are, doing a Cash Out Refi that could make a huge difference in your proceeds amount.
I have been a Residential Mortgage Closer for 7 years and have worked for a Brokerage Firm and 2 banks, Washington Mutual and GreenPoint Mortgage. There are benefits of doing it either way. It is all in what your expectations are and what you want to accomplish. Are you looking for a lower rate? Cash out? Borrowing against your equity to pay off debts?
What ever you decide to do is up to you. You will not need to worry about risk since it all ends up in the same place in the end. The servicing rights of your loan may be sold several times and the interest rate on your note will be sold as soon as possible to Fannie Mae in the secondary market.
Good Luck!
Biweekly Home Loans??? Need Bank Help?
I currently just refinanced my home loan through Sovereign Bank. When closing I was told that I could set up monthly or Bi-Weekly payment options. I was told seeing i did not have my checking account info I could do it anytime. Now they are telling me once it is set there is nothing I can do seeing they automaticly set up the monthly choice. I am trying to set this bi-weekly deposit up because I was told it would reduce the 30year fixed to around 23 years(by my lawyer). They refuse to let me set this up and I am looking for a way. If anyone is familar with these procedures PLEASE HELP. Any forms that I could request would help or any inside information. Also is this legal to tell someone they can only pay when they want. It's my money why can't I pay it how I want??? Would it be worth refinancing with another bank if they will not let me do this. Would they be willing give up the money in interest they make for 7 years in my favor.
Don't do it. Finance companies sneak in extra fees that cost you far more than the interest.
Instead, add more to each monthly payment to make up the difference. No extra fee for that.
For example, if your monthly payments are $1,000.00, or $12,000 per year, pay $1083.33 per month instead, or $13,000 per year.
$12,000 / 24 = $500 twice a month.
$500 * 26 bi-weekly payments = $13,000 per year
$13,000 / 12 = $1,083.33 per month.
Or round it up to $1,100 a month to save even more.
And, if you make a double payment at the beginning of the year instead, you save even more.
FYI: In my state of NC, pre-payment penalties are not legal. But in other states, they still might do them. Beware of pre-payment penalties.
