the fed might be inclined to lower rates in 2H:07, or at least keep them where they are.

anyways, 30 year fixed rates are still low by historical standards (6% +/-).

so time (and the global glut of liquidity) is on your side.

if you are worried about the arm resetting, then refi in 9 months at a fixed rate.

I like this plan. I think rates will dip a bit in the spring. Start talking to you morgage broker in March or April keep and eye on interest rates. Shop the rates around a bit and pull the trigger. I'd jump out of your arm ASAP lock into a fixed.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

That's what I'm looking for

Fortunately our mortgage isn't that big, so I've got some room to fiddle with things...just don't want to get pinched making any last moment decisions.

thanks - spence
