It’s often very difficult to predict where mortgage rates are headed and most of the time when asked where rates are headed the best answer is “they’ll go up and they’ll go down.” In today’s market however there’s an event on the horizon that almost certainly will drive mortgage rates up- the Fed will stop buying mortgage backed securities (MBS) this spring. Buying MBSs has been an effective way to hold mortgage rates down.
