I was wrong last week, and my daughters collected 😅
I called for rates to improve. They did not. And since I handed my punishment to a 12 and a 10 year old, I’ll just say there was no mercy involved.
New week, new call. This one is all about inflation. PPI comes out Thursday, CPI Friday. If those numbers run hot, mortgage rates are going to feel it fast.
So here’s my prediction: we finish the week slightly worse than where we started 👀
But the bigger story is this. Stop trying to time this thing perfectly.
If you like the home and you like the payment, buy the home. If rates come down later, we look at a refinance. If rates climb, you’ll be glad you locked when you did.
Check back next week and see how I did.
And since the last miss cost me: what should the girls make me do if I get this one wrong too? 👇
