Mortgage rates?

I keep hearing that mortgage rates will probably hold steady until mid-2008. They’ve already increased from 6.15 to 6.75 in the past 6 weeks. I’m building a house, and won’t be able to lock in a mortgage rate until probably mid-August. Should I “buy” my mortgage rate at 6.75% now for $750, or should I hold off?
What are the odds that rates will top 7.25% within the next three months?
If you can lock at that rate right now for 750.00, my advise would be to do it. No one has a crystal ball, but rates show no signs of falling any time soon. As you stated previously, rates have risen by over .5% in the last couple months. Take the bird in the hand. It’ll give you peace of mind.
