UPDATE to the Daily Mortgage Interest Rate Lock Advisory - December 3, 2008

Since yesterday afternoon's and this morning's losses, Mortgage Backed Securities (MBSs) have reversed course and are now improving. MBSs were down as much as 17/32 this morning from yesterday's close, and is now UP 4/32 - an improvement of 21/32 from today's low.

Remember, on MBS, as the price goes up, the yield goes down - and so do mortgage interest rates. Conversely, as the price goes down, the yield goes up - and so do mortgage interest rates.

If you haven't locked yet, then congratulate yourself for waiting and continue floating. If the trend continues, and if the lenders are in a giving mood, then we may see an improvement in mortgage rates this afternoon.
