    Get a Good Faith Estimate

    Market Update

    Rates closed the week down on some products and flat on other.

    The market is still volatile and rates are changing everyday.
    Get a Good Faith Estimate from your lender when shopping for a mortgage to understand the costs involved with paying points or not paying points.
    After coming off the poor performance week in the market mortgage pricing has gotten better this week with a more than 100 bps increase in the market.
    In other news, oil prices bumped higher once again after news of a potential strike at a Chevron plant in Nigeria, which is Africa's largest oil producing nation. If oil prices continue on their current path, it may apply selling pressure to both Stocks and Bonds.
    I’m predicting that if inflation continues to be a concern interest rates will rise.
