Recently the rates have been holding in the really low rates. Then came the quantitative easing and that might have persuaded many potential mortgage applicants to hold a little bit longer for lower rates. This week we have noticed that if it is not a delicate hand to play at least emotionally testing one. The rates have been hitting the top and the bottom of the rage in a day. Noticeably there is nobody forthcoming with a forecast as to where they would firm up.
In all probability that the rage may be smashed either direction. Soon we would learn which way it will head, but how many homeowners will be able to hold their coolness and stay committed to holding for improved rates before they are convinced to refinance their existing loans. Certainly it is not hard to appreciate their point of view. Such rates do not show up very often and if they could obtain them at a half a percentage point lower, they could be economizing respectable amount of interest across the duration of their home mortgage loan.
However, missing such low rates since the ratesrise from here and never come back would be really unpleasant. And it could have material outcome for some homeowners. Maybe you could fix a time stipulations and say if the rates do not go down further till the year end, you will refinance in time. It is a pretty hard call when to refinance at these times while there are number of grounds for even better rates. There may be a few other solid reasons as to why they would not go down any further as well. But it would be cruel to intensify the uneasiness of some troubled souls to get into it just now. Let us say that they are bold and leave it at that.
