We are in the middle of buying. We were quoted 6.375 last week and did NOT lock in. Hoping we can get to somewhere in the 5s before locking.

I'm in the same boat as you. Hopefully I'm making the right move buying the dip in the stock market and thinking mortgage rates will be in the 5s come 2026.

So here is some galaxy brain stuff that I don't think Trump is intentionally doing himself, but maybe Bessent is.
Trump, Bessent, Lutnik and Elon have all said this is exactly why they are doing this
They need to refi 9.2tril in Commerical and ppl need to refi their debts
Its why he keeps screeching at Powells fricking arse to cut. Which he came out and poured salt on the bond rally today

Slightly off topic, but consider that in a blink of an eye they will be grown and gone, then you'll be looking to sell that McMansion and get back into something like you have now. Consider skipping the McMansion phase of life and riding out the very nice situation you are in now.
I’m fighting the decision for the points you made, I get it. But in same neighborhood, which we love and can go from a 3/2 to 4/3, add pool a d bayou… be able to put 20% down, pay off all other debt and only have mortgage is very enticing.

Give it a some months. The fed should drop rates unless they play politics. You should get sub 5% before you know it.

A rule of thumb has been 10yr Tbills +2%. So, my expectation is for sub 6% if the 10yr Tbill stays here for awhile.

Maybe. Maybe not. The amount of uncertainty in the economy that could cause the Fed to just hold for a while. This group at the Fed has shown to wait on a fair amount of data before making changes.

Sub 5% is much more the exception than the rule, if you can borrow money at 5.5% it also means you can get fixed income investments at 3-4%. Its always give and take
