  • Pop quiz: High interest rates on mortgages - Inflation or Deflation?

    Originally seen via www.Patrick.net

    Wells Fargo mortgages rates as of 10/28/2008

    ProductInterest RateAPR
    Conforming1 Loans
    40-Year Fixed7.625%7.844%
    30-Year Fixed6.625%6.860%
    20-Year Fixed6.750%7.060%
    15-Year Fixed6.250%6.631%
    5-Year ARM6.500%6.119%
    Jumbo Loans – Amounts that exceed conforming loan limits1
    30-Year Fixed9.875%10.061%
    15-Year Fixed9.250%9.520%
    10-Year ARM9.625%8.601%
    5-Year ARM7.875%6.610%
    FHA – loan limits vary by county.
    30-Year Fixed7.000%7.749%
    Let's see: Fed funds at 1%, Fannie and Freddie nationalized, yet 30 year fixed rates over 6.5% and 30 year non-conforming rates with APR over 10%.

    Yeah, sure there's deflation...
