As always - consult your favorite mortgage professional who will be able to offer the best advice for YOUR unique situation

Jobless claims rose again though analysts are getting better coming up with new highs in this area.

Technically speaking - the FNMA 4.5% 30 year bond is back testing support levels.  The bond is still retreating from overbought levels.

I am recommending to

  LOCK your mortgage rate.
