Hello,
I purchase my first home (200k) earlier this summer, I took a 5 year variable rate mortgage at .75% below prime,. I have option to lock in at anytime for a rate of 1% below my banks posted rate. I check my banks web site today and their posted 5 year rate is 5.9%. Moneys tight and I'm a bit worried about the future. Any suggested reading that would help in my decision? Please and thanks |

Moneys tight and I'm a bit worried about the future. Any suggested reading that would help in my decision? If you have a crystal ball, use it. But historically speaking, rates are still historically low, and with new inflation concerns, energy prices, home heating prices, and ll that jazz, I'm personally betting on on higher rates before we see lower ones.
