Interest Rate Changes?
A few weeks ago, my husband and I were pre-qualified for a mortgage of 130,000 at an interest rate of 4.3. Our mortgage broker told us that the monthly payment would be $910. Now, we've found a home for $119,000 and are in the process of closing. We called the mortgage company to confirm everything and were told that interest rates have went up and now the rate for us will be 5.4 and our monthly payment will be $875. The whole reason we found a home that was $11,000 below our max was to have a much lower monthly payment. Does this sound right for an interest rate to change so quickly?

Interest Rates change on a daily basis .. Tomorrow it can go up again. Most banks will lock you in for X amount of days once you get pre qualified for a loan. Sounds like you need to do some bank shopping , and see if you can find a lower rate. Don't be lazy.. You can find a lower rate if you shop hard enough.
The 5.4% does seem a little high right now though. Friday's rate was 4.57% I think. I sure wouldn't waste anymore time though.. Obama is raising rates at a record pace...All Americans are about to be punished from Obama's 7 trillion dollar spending spree he's been on the last 4 years.
