Luck refers to that which happens to a person beyond that person's control. This view incorporates phenomena that are chance happenings, a person's place of birth for example, but where there is no uncertainty involved, or where the uncertainty is irrelevant.
Average rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages have climbed in recent weeks by about a quarter-percentage point, from 3.75 percent to almost 4 percent â about a $600-a-year difference on a $350,000 mortgage. Several sources of data suggest that buyers are paying more attention to the threat of higher rates.
Most mortgage rates in the USA are set from the 10-year long bond, others are set from LIBOR and some are set from Wall Street Prime. The short answer is that a fixed rate mortgage at 4% is excellent for those with very good credit as well as being able to meet the other criteria to qualify for a top tier mortgage.
