Analysts Say Rates Should Remain Low         Get Prequalified

Interest rateProjections about where credit rates will go in the next year vary widely, but most mortgage analysts think the effect of the Federal Reserve's move away from the market won't be dramatic.

Analysts at Credit Suisse and FTN Financial Capital Markets predict that mortgage rates will stay between 5 percent and 5.25 percent for the rest of the year. Moody's Economy.com projects about 5.7 percent, and Barclays Capital says 6 percent.

"There is a lot of private money on the sidelines waiting to buy mortgage securities once the Fed stops gobbling most of them up," says Laurie Goodman, senior managing director at mortgage-bond trader Amherst Securities Group.
