Local Jackson Hole Mortgage Rates and Information

One of the finest loan representatives in the Jackson Hole area is T.R. Pierce from the Bank of Jackson Hole. T.R. Pierce is the senior vice president loan officer at the largest “local” bank in Jackson Hole and for the past few years has been educating the Jackson Hole real estate agents on the current local mortgage rates. As part of our weekly updates we will be posting T.R.’s report about once a week. This should give readers a good idea of local rates. We of course recommend calling T.R. Pierce, SVP Residential Loans, 307.734.8111 for an appointment if you would like additional information on mortgages. Today’s report is below:

“Conforming fixed rates are down again this morning after it was announced that Treasury Secretary Geithner will present a financial sector stabilization plan that will include government guarantees of losses on some assets and greater assistance for troubled homeowners. Plans like the Federal Reserve’s Term Asset Backed Lending Facility (TALF) hold great promise for restarting private credit flows again. Buyers of triple-A rated securities backed by credit cards, student loans and other assets can swap those bonds for Treasury securities that they can use for new financing.”
