Are rates going to go up in the near future? I'm not sure if I should lock now, or wait

Maybe yes, maybe no. If I knew the exact answer to that question, I would be a very rich man. What I can tell you is that right now rates are quite low and have been moving marginally up and down on a daily basis for weeks, so now is a good time to lock. Are you already working with someone? If so, do you know what a good, realistic interest rate is right now for your loan, and, more importantly; what it will cost? Too many borrowers focus on a loan's interest rate and complete overlook, and misunderstand, how a loan's cost impacts the transaction. If you want to get a good idea about whether or not the loan you are considering is the best one for you, that is, if you are already working with a lender, we should talk.

I tried my crystal ball... doesn't seem to be working. All joking aside, rates today are sitting at basically the lowest they really can be. So there is little to no room for them to get better. On the other hand, there are miles of room for the rates to go higher. All indicators point to rates moving higher. It is not if, but when. LOCK NOW!!!!

I am locking all my clients as fast as possible.

No one has a crystal ball, so it's impossible to say.. but this I know.. Rates are the lowest they've been since 1965, and if and when rates go up, it will happen fast and over a very short period of time.. and typically this is the way it works.. when rates improve, it's slow and over a long period of time, but when they go bad, it's quick and fast.. I would say don't hesitate.. go get under contract, lock your rate, and don't look back.. I'm a Broker here in Scottsdale AZ and I only lend in Arizona.
