im upset kinda because they where just 3.5% so does this mean they will keep going up or will they more than likely fall again

Re: rates went up to almost 5%

The rates are like the stock market.  They can climb and fall each day.  

 

Remember rates are the lowest they have been in US history.  4.5-5% is still a good interest rate.  During the housing boom the rates were in the 7% range.

Re: rates went up to almost 5%

if anyone here knew the answer to that question.... well, they wouldn't be here.

they'd be on a yacht somewhere.

 

my guess is the 3s are over.

 

market improved a little today.... not much

That's true - however they are a lot more like gas prices. They shoot upwards really fast, but don't come down nearly as quick. I think any 30 year traditional mortgages in the 3% range are over. I think 4-5% will be the norm for the next 6-12 months then back up to 5-7% after that. Just my opinion.

Re: rates went up to almost 5%

I agree with you jayrock24, every penny counts. Imagine our shock when we were given a rate of 3.25 during pre-approval and two weeks later signing the contract at 3.75. Still glad we are in the 3s so I can't complain, but it was still a little disappointing.

I'm hoping when we lock on ours in August it's not to crazy in our GFE that we got in May it said our rate can't go above 4.75% so that's good! lol If we can buy down I think we will since we don't plan on leaving that home ever.
