[quote=5yearwaiter][quote=EconProf]You must have nailed down that rate over a month ago, since they have really been ratcheting up since then. Congratulations. Timing is everything![/quote]
Now it’s a time to guess when would be the next drop in mortgage rates? is it possible again ?[/quote]
I think we’re done with ridiculous low rates…
I’m kicking myself. I was trying to get into a lower 15 year rate thinking it was going to be 3.00 when I could have locked in at 3.25…Instead I’m going to be stuck in 3.75 looks like for 15 years. I guess the positive side is that rates are now at 4%+ for 15 years. Now if only car manufacturers would start raising prices on their cars and get rid of the Holiday Bonus Dollars, I’d be a happy camper…

I guess it is a good idea to keep contact with a loan agent. Around october/November, our agent called and said “I think today is the day ……”

January 3, 2011 at 11:25 AM #648580IT.MOMParticipant[quote=rent4now]In your circumstance wouldn’t it be advisable to rent?
The amount you spent on commission to the realtors for you last 4 purchases negates any of the money you are “saving” by refinancing?[/quote]
Good point.
I am thankful that all the company relocation packages covers the loss when the house depreciate. And we got to keep the money when the house appreciate π
We rented 1300sqft condo in carmel valley for $1900 for 2 years, and pull the trigger in 2009. With the refinance, our monthly mortgate is going to be only several hundreds $$ more than the rent price. I say, why not.
