MORTGAGE RATES IMPROVE:
October 24th, 2011
Mortgage rates improved slightly last week with the bond market closing + 28 bps on the week. We are still seeing a lot of volatility to in the markets where rates/costs can change a lot in a very short period of time.
My recommendation is to lock in pricing if you looking into a mortgage. The stock market is gaining momentum and I think rates will rise during the last quarter of 2011. In the 4th quarter of 2010, mortgage rates went from 4% to 4.75% in a very short period of time. While I don’t see that much of a change coming, I do feel that mortgage rates will continue to slowly move upwards.
