A Heads-Up for Homebuyers

If you're in the market for a home, or in the real estate industry you can't have missed the recent volatility of mortgage interest rates. This prompts me to issue a caution to all homebuyers and their agents.
 If you are comparing mortgage interest rates be very, very careful. Rates are changing at such a rapid pace that the quote you received from a lender yesterday afternoon will almost certainly have changed by this morning.
I suggest when comparing lenders, get all of your rates on the same day. I would even go so far as suggesting that you compare rates from only around the same TIME as they can, and often do, change throughout the day.
