Locking In Mortgage Rates
by Bobbie
(Sunset, Utah, USA)
Bobbie writes about locking in mortgage rates: Kate, We purchased our house last August and at that time it felt like the mortgage rates were all over the place all the time. We thought we were closing our loan at 6 percent but 8 months later when I am looking over our mortgage statement I realize it's locked in at 6.5 percent.

So we're simply going to refinance our home loan. That is the wonderful thing about a fixed rate mortgage, virtually at any time you can refinance if you see a new juicier rate that you want.
So long story short we are getting a 4.5 percent rate this time. Fantastic! Remember you're never really locked in.
