I am predicting that rates will decrease over the next 30 days, but that doesn't mean you should necessarily follow my advice when choosing whether to lock a rate, or float it. My advice may not be appropriate for your individual situation.

"The U.S. government -- on purpose or not -- upgraded mortgage bonds to Treasury Class. Mortgage rates fall."
