Just make a good guess…

It’s a lot like deciding when to lock the rate on your mortgage.

Rates are changing several times a day… so when should your loan?

Brian Brady, loan originator in Solana Beach, California, recently wrote:

Mortgage bonds were up today which is a positive indicator for lower rates. Finding that sweet spot to lock a loan (this month) is like trying to pitch a no-hitter in baseball–you get all excited with each winning trading session (inning) then something breaks (the first hit) and everything goes to hell. So, I advise borrowers to lock in the rate at application; it’s not like Bernanke is Tim Lincecum.

Spot on…

Rates are still way under the old standard of 6%
