There's more to be had:

Mortgage rates will keep falling
7/6/2010 3:10 PM EDT
According to Freddie Mac, the average rate on a 30-year mortgage is down to 4.58%. But it should actually go lower. The 20-year average spread between 7-year swaps (normally the closest average life for a brand new mortgage) is 1.37%. Right now the 7-year swap is 2.55%, so the mortgage rate "should" be 3.92%!
Refi wave is coming. And don't tell me that no one has equity. No it won't be a tsunami, but it will be enough to cause mortgage bond holders pain.

There are rates and there are rates. And the rich get richer:
| Quote: | The last time mortgage rates were at current levels, in 2003, refinancing activity hit $2.9 trillion, according to trade publication Inside Mortgage Finance. Last year, refinance volume reached $1.2 trillion, the highest amount since 2003 but not nearly as much as expected, considering how low interest rates have fallen.
|
...but we'll take it:
| Quote: | | One indicator of the economic impact of refinancing: Loans that refinanced in 2009 will result in $3.4 billion in savings for consumers this year, according to a report by First American CoreLogic, a research firm based in Santa Ana, Calif. That will return an additional $17.2 billion in savings to borrowers over the next five years. That's money consumers can potentially use to help spur economic recovery. |

Steepness of spread change implies strong mortgage selling in selloff. Today's MBA numbers probably buy bonds, and Master's H's trade, some time.
