Mortgage Rate Roller Coaster
Earlier today, mortgage rates dropped big time. The bond market had taken a big hit and that forced mortgage rates down considerably. However, by mid afteroon, bonds had rebounded and mortgage rates took a big swing up. A jumbo loan that I had quoted at 5.75% by the end of the day turned into a 6.125% rate!
“Rate Shopping” in today’s market can be a dangerous thing. If you had called this morning and gotten a quote on that loan, and wanted to call 5 other lenders seeking the “best rate” you would have seen a wide variety of numbers. By the time you would have called me back, the rate would have changed dramatically and you would feel as if someone was playing games. As a matter of fact, I got 5 rate change notifications today alone!
