Loan pricing may only be locked through a home loan consultant to be effective.  Rates will depend in part on your unique credit history and transaction characteristics. Please email or call for updated pricing at anytime as rates and pricing are subject to change. This information does not constitute a loan commitment or approval.
 

Wednesday’s bond market has opened in negative territory despite favorable economic news. The stock markets are causing the pressure in bonds with sizable gains in the major indexes. The Dow is currently up 182 points while the Nasdaq is up 33 points. The bond market is currently down 7/32 (2.18%), but strength late yesterday should keep this morning’s mortgage rates very close to yesterday’s morning levels.

Float / Lock Recommendation

If I were considering financing/refinancing a home, I would…. Lock if my closing was taking place within 7 days… Lock if my closing was taking place between 8 and 20 days… Float if my closing was taking place between 21 and 60 days… Float if my closing was taking place over 60 days from now… This is only my opinion of what I would do if I were financing a home. It is only an opinion and cannot be guaranteed to be in the best interest of all/any other borrowers.
