7 day Mortgage Interest Rate lock or Float Advice: LOCK
Mortgage Points based on 3.5% Mortgage Backed Securities are up 0.01 point.


30 Day Mortgage Interest Rate Lock or Float Advice: LOCK.

Rates could easily move higher or lower, but given the nearness to all time lows, there's generally more risk than reward regarding floating so my advice is to lock.
