That fed cut won't do much for mortgage rates... it might make a few banks more open to lending a touch more is about all.

If you have a good to high credit score, and you're getting an A paper loan..watch the 10 year note, and the 30 year note. Those are the two keys to A paper rates....at least to have an idea if they will go up or down in the very short term. A paper rates change daily, sub prime won't change very often at all...

This is what I'm hoping. We can wait until after the Sept 18th meeting to lock in our rate, since our house won't be done until the end of Oct. These will be the longest few weeks of my life....
