home loans: Rate future...scary! - 01/13/09 04:55 PM
Rates are great but not much purchase action mostly refi's. After the refi boom is done what is next...

home loans: Historical Chart of 30 yr fixed and Prime Rate going back to 1963 - For all those who think rates are not going up, think again... - 10/29/08 10:16 AM

home loans: Why rates are more than likely going to rise in the coming months and why the current trend will continue for at least 5 years... - 07/23/08 10:14 AM
The reason I am posting this article is because it gives good insight into why rates are going to go higher and what really effect an interest rate.  Pay close attention to how the baks set there rate and what it is based off of.(i.e. 10 yr bond sales)  I know there is not one indicator for rates but there will be a trend and the 10 yr makes up a big part of the interest rate trend...
