ParticipantI locked about a month ago expecting rates to rise as the Fed cut back on MBS purchases. So far that hasn’t happened … I’m guessing that capital is flowing out of the Euro into the dollar due to the Greek crisis.
As for paying discount points … how much of a break are you getting by paying 1pt? It seems that we don’t get a whole lot for our money these days.

ParticipantMy previous employer was too cheap to pay for WebEx, so projects that could’ve been wrapped up in six days took six months instead. They’re now in bankruptcy court. I bet their new offshore developers have WebEx. So I’m with you on the benefits of telecommuting.
But … given the choice most employers will pick an on-site applicant over one who wants to telecommute from Alturas. Telecommuting always seems to boom during a labor shortage (e.g. the peak of the bubble) then contract as the applicant pool grows.
I love the idea of high-speed rail. But high-speed rail will take two decades to complete, and at best it’ll be cost-competitive when compared with flying. There’s already low-speed commuter rail service between Sacramento and San Jose, but at $527/mo it only makes sense in a real estate bubble economy.
And the recession will end. How much our state benefits depends on whether or not we have the will to create a real economy to replace the fake economy that brought so much false prosperity to our state in recent years.
