Time to catch up. Big NEWS!
On contract for a house, closing July 31st. Going to set me back about $210K and I've been scrambling to get inspections, mortgages, and lawyers.
Recent economic improvement and then subsequent further news about declines has been wrecking havoc with mortgage rates.
When I started looking, 30-yr mortgage rates were around 5.00% and then started to creep up to 5.6%. In the last week, the rates are starting drop and come down to around 5.4%. Hopefully within 1-2 weeks, I can lock in right around 5.00% again.
That's it for now. Be back tomorrow with some thoughts on the economy.

We just closed on a house on the 19th... so exciting!
Congrats on your purchase!
(We also managed to snag super low rates (4.625%), but that was just lucky timing)
Congratulations to you too!
And definite huge props on getting such low rates.
