Rates are sliding down into the low 5's for conforming loan amounts. We have seen the 30 year fixed this week touch in the high 4's..............Truly this is the time to lock for purchases. My suggestion is to get your application and documention in so that we can watch the rates and lock when they move..... Rates can move fast... So be READY !
(Sorry, one of these days I'm going to figure out why I can't get the formatting to make a nice little chart in this program. It looks fine until I post it, then it is out of whack!)
