Rates

Why the advertised number is not real.

What is a teaser rate?

Look anywhere, online, big banks, credit unions, every mailer you have ever received, and you are looking at teaser rates. They advertise the best case scenario, which is almost certainly not your scenario, and then charge points for a rate below market. The phone rings, and the costs show up at closing.

Why do rates move so much?

Fifteen years ago, if rates moved more than a quarter point over a month it was considered a big swing. Today the market is very volatile, and rates can update up to three times a day: at open, mid-day, and late afternoon.

How should I shop rates?

Apples to apples is imperative. Pricing from the same day, for the same scenario (with or without points). A quote from Tuesday against a quote from Thursday tells you nothing useful.
