Like 0 Dislike 0 Where can I find predictions about what rates are going to do in the near term (45 days or less)? I'm stuck w/ one lender (terms of the sale of the home at discount) and the rates are bad but I"m not sure if I should lock in now or wait a bit longer.

Everyone has an opinion on this, but a good 30- 45 day window on this can be found on Bankrate.com. Go to their mortgage page, and then their mortgage pro survey on interest rates. It's a survey of a lot of banking and mortgage pros, looking out a bit in time. Also, "www.hsh.com" is another good resource. They have their own 2 month forecast they do every couple months. That should help you. Thanks, Ken L. Link deactivated as per the forum rukes

The mortgage rates have gone up recently in the last couple of weeks. No one can predict about the mortgage rate but it seems the rates may be come down a bit at the end of the March. Best of luck, Larry

The news said that they will let the mortgage companies take their foreclosures and bad loans as collateral, so if this is any indication of what is going to happen you should be in good shape right?
