for all of you who missed the boat this is going to be your week. don't shop all week trying to get an 1/8th of a point lower. Remember the guy that quoted you the best rate last time call him/her and lock in.

just like last time these rates have about 5-7 days and they will be gone. good luck happy hunting

two weeks ago when fed fund benchmark was 100-125 bps, i saw a 2.875% 30 year fixed rate on Ally.

today, with fed funds now at 0%, that same 30 year rate was 3.675% on Ally.

have to imagine there will be some resetting downward over the next few days, and then brokers will be full and rates will tick back up

Mortgage rates did not follow the fed moving down, which is why the OP’s suggestion is curious. Has something changed this morning because rates are actually higher from what everyone else is seeing.

Where are you seeing these low rates today? You work in the mortgage industry. What are the rates this morning you are seeing?

just locked a 15yr at 2.625% for a customer. 30yr rate should be 3% right now. the market just opened so the online lenders have yet to adjust there pricing.

I'd potentially refinance if I could find this for a 15 year.

I just closed on a refinance Friday. I was talking to the attorney, and he was telling me that the mortgage rates are climbing because of supply & demand. There are so many people refinancing that he lenders are inundated with applications. As a result, they started raising the rates to try to slow things down and catch up.

If this is the case, I am not sure when the market will be able to react to the new fed rates.

Had rates delayed this morning. That must be a massive drop off for you since Friday. I'm not seeing that in the market at all.

Rates seemed to be super compressed on the 30. More than I have seen in long time. Don't forget to ask how much it is to buy to the next rate. Looking around 3.25% at par, but buying down to a lower rate is cheap this morning. 15 year around 2.875%.

They are raising rates to slow down the request for new refis. They don't have the workforce to process the requests quickly enough, so raising rates allows them to ramp up and process requests. I'm thinking that requests will slow down and we'll see rates start to creep back down at some point.

I currently have 10yrs left on a 15yr @ 3.65%, and last yr we took out a heloc @ 5.75% for some renovations. I’ve asked two separate lenders in the past couple weeks and they’ve both come back with 3% for a 10yr note. It would save a significant amount of money, but I assumed we could get a lower rate.
