Have You Locked In Your Interest Rates

The yield on the 10-year Treasury Bill (T-Bill) is usually a good indicator of what is likely to happen with 30-year mortgage rates.  The chart below shows what has happened since late spring and the beating the yield has taken in the past few days.  Today we saw three rate hikes.  I can only hope interest rates don't jump too quickly.  This should be a wake-up call for people still sitting on the fence.  The cost of a small decline in price will not compare to a significant jump in the cost of a mortgage.

I am surprised that move buyers are not taking advantage of the low interest rates.  Pehaps we haven't done a sufficient job getting the word out.

I think that it is not a problem of getting the word out, but a matter of trust. When agents say "now is the best time to buy" everyday for 50-years, it becomes like the little boy crying wolf. Now that it is a truly great time to buy, well, to mix metaphors - once bitten, twice shy.
