Interest rates remain on the high side for the second week in a row as bond rates jump around and Wall Street keeps a close eye on Bear Stearns and other hedge funds. As an added note most major banks are discontinuing the interest only subprime 2/28 loan that has caused a majority of problems for homeowners. Wells Fargo joined Countrywide and Washington Mutual in announcing they will no longer offer these loans to borrowers.
If you are considering buying a home or townhome in the South Bay/Beach Cities now is the time to contact a lender to find out where you stand with the changes in lending rules.
