*Rates change daily. Conforming interest rate samples based off $260,000 loan amount, 80% Loan to Value, 740 or higher FICO score, with impounds on a 30 day rate lock period and $895 underwriting fee if not covered by lender rebates. FHA based off 3.5% down payment, but other same variables. Costs or credits shown pertain to interest rate and do not include any other applicable 3rd party title and escrow charges or prepaid tax and insurance reserves which may or may not apply. Lock period suggested depends on current loan volume and lending climate at time of loan application and approval. Other risk-based pricing adjustment may apply. The displayed annual percentage rates (APRs) include total points and additional prepaid finance charges but do not include other closing costs. On adjustable-rate loans, rates are subject to increase over the life of the loan. Learn more about assumptions and APR Information. Loan pricing may only be locked through a home loan consultant to be effective. Rates will depend in part on your unique credit history and transaction characteristics. Please email or call for updated pricing at anytime as rates and pricing are subject to change. This information does not constitute a loan commitment or approval.

Wednesday’s bond market has opened in negative territory following stronger than expected economic data and overnight Greece news of their missed loan payment. Strong stock gains are also contributing to bond weakness this morning. The Dow is currently up 148 points while the Nasdaq has gained 45 points. The bond market is currently down 20/32 (2.42%), which should push this morning’s mortgage rates higher by approximately .250 of a discount point.

Float / Lock Recommendation

If I were considering financing/refinancing a home, I would…. Lock if my closing was taking place within 7 days… Lock if my closing was taking place between 8 and 20 days… Lock if my closing was taking place between 21 and 60 days… Float if my closing was taking place over 60 days from now… This is only my opinion of what I would do if I were financing a home. It is only an opinion and cannot be guaranteed to be in the best interest of all/any other borrowers.
