Know How To Recognize A Good Mortgage Rate?

Mortgage lenders are often asked if there is a best time of day, day of the week, or period of the year when a prospective borrower should lock in a mortgage interest rate.

The truth is, no one can tell with any degree of accuracy what rates will do.

In fact, the best time to lock a mortgage is when the unexpected happens.

Case in point: Brexit.

In June 2016, Britain voted to exit the European Union. “Brexit,” as it is known, caused an international "flight to quality," meaning investors worldwide sought perceived safe assets like U.S. mortgage bonds. Mortgage rates fell dramatically.

These unforeseen shifts are the best time to lock a mortgage. But what if you’re not fortunate enough to be rate shopping during a period of mortgage rate upheaval?

Then, you go into the process knowing how to recognize a good rate, and being ready to lock it in.

Where Will Mortgage Rates Head Next Year 2017?

Currently, the home financing climate continues to be favorable for prospective borrowers. But mortgage rates can change quickly, and your ability to lock in at an enticing fixed rate today may dwindle in the coming months.

Which begs the question: where will mortgage interest rates be in 2017?

To see where rates might move in the coming year, it’s constructive to ask experts for their 2017 rate predictions. Consulting with industry insiders can yield insights that may tell you when to pull the trigger on a rate lock and commit to a mortgage loan or refinance.

Forecasts varied among interviewed professionals. Many are looking at world events, the upcoming presidential election, and even unforeseen events to influence the direction of mortgage rates in the new year.
