Bonds have spiked up the past few days by 15 basis points. We fully expect to see most lenders increase fixed rates by nominal amounts. The increase has been caused by stronger U.S. data, and a lack of recent turmoil in the European markets. We fully expect to continue an up and down response to Global economic conditions.
If you have a variable rate of any more than prime +.75 or a fixed rate of 4.0% or more, we should explore the merits of refinancing to a lower rate.
