Mortgage Market
Terrible! The one word to explain what has happened to Mortgage Rates over the past 72 hours, just like that we have lost over -100 basis points. The lowest 30 year fixed rate as of today is 4.25%, and the lowest 15 year fixed is 4%. Both conforming mortgage rates are for qualified borrowers and come with no points or origination. If you are closing your purchase or refinancing application in the next week I would highly recommend LOCKing in asap. Please do not panic however, I do expect Mortgage Rates to come back down a bit after the November 3rd Fed meeting when they will announce Quantitative Easing.
