Here are the daily thoughts on floating or locking if you are asked by your clients.
As always - consult your favorite mortgage professional who will be able to offer the best advice for YOUR unique situation.
This morning the Retail Sales report came out with a mixed bag. All sales was actually a 1/10% higher than expected, where as the less volatile report that doesn't include auto sales was lower by 1/10%. This couple with what appears to be a very weak start to Wall Street due to banking concerns could lead to a better start for bonds.
Technically speaking - the FNMA 5.5% 30 year bond has bounced back into a narrow trading range. If stocks actually tank today, a significant rise could occur.
As always, things depend on your personal style. Pundits will be recommending to float - though for me until the current 2 1/2 year ceiling is broken I am recommending to
Lock your interest rate.
