I'm building a house, so my loan rate won't lock in for about 8 months, what will mortgage rates do?

Profile picture for Berkel60

Since it is a construction loan, the rate won't be locked in until I'm done building - or 120 or 60 days from the end of the build.  Will loan rates jump in the next 8, 10, 12 months?  What are your predictions?

I feel the possibility of higher and maybe more GSE Adjustment Fees that will effect rate if not paid seperately. No one can predict the future, but we may learn from the past. Here is a link to Historic Conforming Interest Rates. http://www.freddiemac.com/pmms/pmms30.htm

If fixed rates make a large move up before you can lock, you will have the option of doing a 7/1 or 5/1 to negate some of the increase. What does your debt ratio look like and if rates move up 1.5 - 2 points, is your debt ratio still inline?

No one can tell you that for sure, but the government is definitely attempting to keep rates low.  As Tiffany points out, inflation is likely going to become an issue at some point.  But no one can say when that point is.  Until then, rates are likely to remain somewhere around where they are now - but again, we don't know what's coming.

Magic 8 ball?

Rates will probably stay low-ish until inflation becomes an issue.
