The market is not that good anymore. That's where rates are at. Are you paying any points?

gotta love how the banks are sticking it to us w the extra scrutiny, as though we were the idiots who securitized all that bad debt

Rates have been in the 6.375% - 6.5% range lately and actually a little higher today. Rates havent been around 6% for almost a couple of months. The bank doesnt decide on a rate jus because the customer has great credit, assets, etc. Those are pretty much a given in this market. Rates are very volatile so it really depends on the day you lock in-. We offer a free float down option if rates drop after lock-in. sunny_hong@countrywide.com

Realistic mortgage rates come only after an experienced and licensed mortgage planning specialist runs your credit, reviews your assets and income documentation. The specialist can determine what you can afford reasonably afford. Then depending upon your circumstances and the current loan programs, realistic rates can be persented to you.
The rate(s) that mortgage bankers quote you change daily and sometimes more than once a day. The prices of mortgage backed securites are set by traders in the "mortgage market", especially those based on FNMA and FHLMC. Select your mortgage specialist carefully and this can be explained to you in greater detail.
Good luck and keep in touch.

6.375 is a very good rate for our area. It hasn't been 6% for at least a month since oil spiked and inflation fears reared its ugly head. It is what it is.
