Be aware that the bond market is a very short-term indicator. If the bond market is up today -- which means the yield is down -- mortgage rates will typically fall tomorrow, or at least remain the same. But that's about as far ahead as anyone can reasonably predict the direction of interest rates.

At Best Mortgage,  we do not make long- term interest rate predictions.  Please read Steve Tytler's online column about predicting interest rates.  History has proven that even the so-called "experts" cannot predict future mortgage rates with any degree of accuracy.

Mortgage rates change on a daily basis, and sometimes even two or three times per day when the financial markets are exceptionally volatile. If you are a Best Mortgage client, please CALL US at (425) 746-1310 to get a current mortgage rate quote.  If you are located outside the Bellevue/Seattle local calling area, you may call us toll-free at (800) 870-4570.  Please be aware that many of the lenders that we work with close their lock-in desks around 4:00 PM (PT), so we suggest that you  call before 3:00 PM (PT) to lock-in your mortgage rate so that we have the widest possible range of lenders from which to select the best interest rate for your loan.  However, even if you miss the 4 PM cut-off,  a few of the lenders that we work with allow us to lock-in interest rates over night.
