How are they looking? Still high and expect them to come down in 3-4 weeks?

Come down to what? The fed has already slashed overnight lending rates to near zero. Banks still have to charge you a little just to cover their overhead/margin/etc.

The average man isn’t getting a loan at the fed rates.

Mortgage rates and refinance are still pretty high. It looks like 15 year is around 3.2% today.

I'm looking for around 2.65% with no points like they were for half a day about 3-4 weeks ago. Since then they've been climbing.

LoanDepot - waived appraisal fee and appraised house at 13% more than what I paid for it in 2018.

That’s a good rate. I haven’t seen any advertised that low yet. I’m still waiting hoping they drop low enough to benefit a refi.

I was quoted 3.125% a month ago on a new build. My quote as of today is 3.75%. We didn't lock anything in yet so I'm hoping it goes down again.
Is it wise to assume the unemployment numbers are making lenders nervous about people being able to pay their mortgages? Hence the increase? Would a return to normal economy by July make them fall a tad? That's my window to lock in.

Jumbo money super expensive. With Wells Fargo pulling out of the secondary market only going to get worse. Banks are tightening up

Looks like Chase is going to require most of their programs be limited to 80% loan to value or less and 700+ credit scores starting with new applications Tuesday.

I would not be surprised to see most banks if not all follow suit quickly. No bank will wants to be the last to act if there is credit tightening.
