I believe the result will only be a delay with our projected Fed rate increase. Instead of a summer bump, it will be a fall bump. And if the news out of Wall Street continues to be restrained in the coming months, a delay to winter. We cannot handle a cut right now - wages would decline. Sure, the Soviets and Cental Europeans can take rate to 0%, but they are having way more issues than we are. I have seen predictions at absurd lows for our mortgage market, I find it hard to believe. But then, if you asked anyone in 2013, they never would have believed rates in 2015 would be even lower.

Default That's my thoughts

I defiantly think rates stay the same or LOWER for the next 9-12 months. Why we are aligned w global banks is still a mystery to me but if they go Any lower we will follow.
My prediction.
15 yr fix mortgage 2.35-2.5%
30 yr fix mortgage. 3.25 -3.5 %

These rates will go this low for a few weeks in the next 3-6 months.

I couldn't read the subscription required link.

If I could predict mortgage rates, I'd be a very very rich person. I predict rates to be very high very soon, I hope I'm right.

By the title "Unexpectedly" it looks like "They" know about as much as me

  • My view is interest rates will remain low until our next republican president.
  • History shows a republican before and a democratic president after, each dip in our economy since the 1930's.
  • Early 2000's was following the raise/drop in gas prices, each time the interest rate changed.
  • If you asked anyone in the last five years. They never would have believed both gas prices, and interest rates today would both be low at the same time.
  • I am wondering how long these low gas prices are going to continue!!!
