Mortgage Rates Recovering
On December 7, 2009
Last week was messy and saw rates jump anywhere from .25-.50%. Economic data is light until Friday’s Retail Sales report. Rates may move up or down this week, but the odds favor at least being prepared to lock. Rates could possibly gain back .25%, but could lose .50% again this week if Retail Sales comes in better than expected.
