His advice to them was to stop concerning themselves with the absolute top or bottom and to focus more on the 80% in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>I think this is a great analogy for many people shopping for a mortgage. Rates are awesome right now and too many people are over concerned with getting the absolute lowest rate. Again, we are talking about prices that move everyday so it is very difficult to time a bottom.\u00a0 I have customers paying over 6.5%, who are sitting and waiting for rates to get lower, when in fact over the last 2 weeks they have gone up.\u00a0 Run the numbers, if 4.75% makes financial sense jump on it and get it done.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t miss the boat because you thought you could get 4.5%. It may or may not happen, however you should\u00a0be more concerned with the majority of the savings you are getting at the 4.75% rather than having rates run up to 5.5% before you could refinance or purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Rates move everyday, That&#8217;s right, rates move everyday!!!<\/p>\n<p>If you think you can time a bottom, get in the pit and start trading bonds.<\/p>\n<p>If the numbers work do the loan.\u00a0 Take the advice from a true mortgage professional, think it through and make a decision. By waiting for more you may indeed get less.!<\/p>\n<p><strong>To learn more call <a href=\"tel:1-833-844-0141\">(833) 844-0141<\/a> today,\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artisanhomemortgage.com\/apply\/mortgage-rate-quote.html\">request a Free Mortgage Quote<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.artisanhomemortgage.com\/prequalify-for-mortgage-in-new-york-and-pennsylvania.html\">prequalify<\/a> to find out about available mortgage options.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was at a meeting with old client last week who has over 40 years experience on Wall Street and he gave me a good point to share with my customers.\u00a0 He had worked with his clients, managing money and mostly dealing in stocks.\u00a0 He told me that too many of his clients were over\u00a0concerned<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1274,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mortgage-loans"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Trying to time a bottom -<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I think this is a great analogy for many people shopping for a mortgage.
