Early indicators are that they will tick up a little, but that could happen even on the most normal of days. Your golden window of opportunity is still wide open. However it’s certainly fair to say that if you have been considering a home purchase, you might want to step up your efforts so that you can lock into a loan rate sooner rather than later.
