I am going to buy a home in 1 year. Can I lock in mortgage rates today?

Posted by admin on September 2nd, 2010 and filed under mortgage rates | 6 Comments »

I will be purchasing a house in one year. I believe long term mortgage rates are around their low. I am concerned about where those rates will be a year from now. Is there a way I can agree to borrow from a lender and lock in today’s mortgage rates?

I hate to be blunt but everyone in this thread is incorrect.

Yes you can lock in a loan rate for a year, it will likely cost you a point or so (not such a big deal if you expect rates to rise). The longest free lock is usually 45 days. Some shady broker house will charge you to lock rates but large BANKS like mine really aren’t concerned about a few dollars here or there if we can do your entire loan instead. If you have any questions feel free to email me. Otherwise good luck, and I would stop taking advice about the biggest financial decision you will ever make from people who aren’t in the industry.

Why would the failure (or need for government support) by Fannie or Freddie cause mortgage rates to rise?

Posted by admin on August 29th, 2010 and filed under mortgage rates | 3 Comments »

How does that correlation work?

How do mortgage rates respond to the circumstances of Fannie and Freddie?

There is a risk correlation. The more and bigger failures there are, the higher rates will go. The higher rates serve to help pay the off the bad debts from all the other bad loans.

Are large local banks less likely to give great mortgage rates to borrows with great credit scores?

Posted by admin on August 22nd, 2010 and filed under mortgage rates | 1 Comment »

I’ve been shopping for a low interest rate (30 year fixed). I have excellent credit but it doesn’t seem to help me much when I go into large local banks. It seems like they just run the basic numbers to make sure I qualify for a conforming loan. They then tell me their printed rate on their website. My experience with smaller mortgage companies is that they collect more information and they have quoted lower rates.

Is this typical?

You are best off securing a great mortgage from a Credit Union or a Community Bank.
