Small increments throughout the year as the economy flourishes. A year from now I anticipate mortgage rates of 5 to 5.5%.

I'm sure they'll go up some, but I don't see drastic spikes.

well, there's not much for them to jump into!!! there's a great shortage of listings across the country.... if rates go up, I hope it's not a spike....we'll all be dead in the water!!!

Higher.

Mortgage interest rates remain competitive. I imagine this will remain true.  No reason besides just because....plus that PollyAnna influence. 

With a shortage of listing, sales are low in the mortgage world which means less mortgage starts. That means rates stay the same. They may boost them if they raise the fed, but market forces will determine what happens. 

5.00 - 5.5%  range. More products coming. No reason to refinance. Prices level

Up.

Inflation related my gut feel is 30 year mortgage may be 4.5-4.75%. That is way too low still.....

We'll be having a seance later tonight and talk with the spirits of the Federal Reserve. No matter how many times buyers are fed the line " Interets rates are going up soon", most will ignore it and most don't care.

Towards 4.5%

Buzz Mackintosh I have no idea. They keep saying they will go up, but nothing much has happened.

Stable. 

After years of silence it is their turn to speak. They will

I think that they expect the Fed to raise them this week. However remembering when I first got licensed in residential, and the rates being in the 13% range, I don't worry much. We still sold LOTS of homes then, and buyers and sellers were still very happy. 

Higher, but moderately.

I think we are due for an uptick here.

They must go up so if the economy needs a jump start they can be lowered.  We do have a global economic reset coming in the next 1-2 years, so higher rates will be needed.

I think that most expect them to go up, so I will be prepared.

Higher, it only makes sense! No drastic hikes, however!

As inflation rises, I see rates rising too. We may see a full point.

Slightly up

Up of course, but not much. They are going to be busy with tax bill and any additional changes might just make people too angry. 

 Whatever it is, we will work with it.

No where to go but up but just a little bit  please 

Buzz Mackintosh interest rates might go higher in 2018.

Low to middle 4s. I doubt you'll see mortgage rates in the 5s...

As the economy improves the rates will rise ... I do not expect a massive increase in 2018.

My Mortgage partners tell me that they are all going to go up in 2018...

Buzz,

We have no predictions

Increase 1 to 2 points over current. They're going up. The days of free money are going by the wayside. And it's all good.

With the Fed meeting and decision tomorrow, I expect a .25% increase. Rates in 2018 will increase slowly  and I can see rates at 4.50 to 5.00% by the end of 2018

Steady as she goes

Up...it's just a matter of when and how much.

I am not sure if it's going to go up. There has been a lot of speculation about it, but Mortgage rates are still very reasonable. Let's hope for the best! We need the interest rates to continue stable. If it goes up, we expect to increase in small increments to maintain a healthy real estate market.

Wish I knew for sure, but my crystal ball is at the dry cleaners.  

I hope not up but I have to say we will see 6% bu end of 2018!

I've honestly been expecting rates to go up for four years and I've been wrong every year.

Up of course.

My crystal ball is not answering me.

Don't know about "drastic", I think that's just a scare to hurry buyers; definitely up, at least in the near term. Later, economy will tell.

There is always a market so regardless you and I will survive. We will adjust our sales. Buyers, you are only going to develop splinters in the keester on that fence hemming and hawing. Stop renting, start owning and rates are awesome. Do the best rate you can get in any market and refinance when you can. My first home mortgage rate was 12.25% in a time of 16% adjustable. I did not want to rent.
