There has been much talk lately that the FED's cut next week will be from 1/2 to as much as 1 percent.  While the FED'd rate does not equate to mortgage rates; it does sometime help boost mortgage back securities which may in fact help Interest rates.

This could mean a slight drop in mortgage interest rates as well as a boost; probably short-term; in the stock market.  Also credit interest rates should see a drop and overall, borrowing of money will be cheaper.

Most people are saying that if you are buying a home - don't lock in your rate until after the FED announces this possible drop Tuesday afternoon. This doesn't always equate to a new loan with a better rate; but it generally won't hurt either.  Of course you should always consult with your mortgage professional or financial planner - but it looks like waiting a few days to "lock" may in fact save you some cash.

 If you are "thinking" about buying or waiting for the right time - a drop in Interest Rates, may in fact be the best time to buy a home.  

Inventories are still a bit high in most markets; including many parts of the Washington DC area.  Those sellers that really want to sell before the holiday season and the cold winter months are ready for the buyers!
