Should I float? Should I lock? - Daily Update for Tuesday, May 5, 2009

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

Even in the face of multi month highs in the stock market, bonds are holding their own.  Yesterday's 200+ stock market gain should have resulted in bonds going down and rates going up, instead bonds rose nicely yesterday with apparent gains again this morning. 

Technically speaking - the FNMA 4.0% 30 year bond broke up to the 10 day moving average yesterday.  Being able to gain a foot hold above this mark could result in better pricing especially with the bond being oversold. 

I am recommending to

   LOCK your best mortgage rate.
