Economists’ Forecasts
The drop in payrolls in January was the first since August 2003. The median forecast was for a payrolls gain of 70,000, compared with an initially reported increase of 18,000 in December. Forecasts ranged from gains of 5,000 to 160,000.
I’m at 5.375, not worth it to refi unless I could drop a whole point, and have negligable closing costs. I’m not going to buy points either, thats for the birds. Plus, I’ll probably be upgrading in the not to distant future.
I am at 6.5% and I refinanced a little over a year ago and dropped it to a 15 year. So unless it really goes down a lot I think I will hold on to what I have now. Besides I plan on buying a new house in 3 to 4 years.
