On our new home.
4% for 30
3% for 15
Any professionals think that lock in asap or we will see rates trend down more/

Thanks

Why would anyone do a 30 versus a 15?

Those are pretty good rates. I'm inside of 60 days and the quotes I'm getting back are a little higher. Are you paying any points?

If it helps, I've followed rates since the end of last year. They have steadily been trending up and most of the experts seem to agree they will continue trending up. You may get lucky and hit a small short dip if something major happens like the Greek deal falling apart, but most likely rates are going up.

We just locked in at 4% for 30 - I believe rates are going up

The increase in monthly payment for a 15 v. 30 year can be tough for people. Don't be condescending.

My CC reported a significant business expense and my rate jumped from 4% to 4.125% when I got it today. Score dropped like 15-20 points

I'm trying to see if I rate lock and repull closer to closing, if that rate lock allows me access to the better rate. If not it is only like ~25$, ~18 come tax day/month

Especially with tax deductions on mortgage interest, I just don't see how in the world a 15 YR makes sense.

You can typically lump sum and reforcast amortization anyways

Tell loan officer you want him to run numbers on a 5/1 & 7/1 ARM if you can't get 4%

4% on a 30yr is pretty solid right now, especially with a 90 day lock. Assuming you didn't buy this down...
