Florida mortgage rates can fluctuate as the real estate and financial markets continue to move up and down. Since interest rates are more closely tied to the bond markets, an up or down move in the stock market may not have the result in mortgage rates that one might expects. In fact, many times the resulting Florida mortgage rates change counter-intuitively.
More importantly, rates change daily and they can change quickly. Some mortgage professionals have recently noted that their rate quotes have only had shelf lives of three to four hours before market changes have deemed them inaccurate.

How does a consumer navigate fast changing markets in order to refinance their existing Florida loan or purchase a Florida home with the most favorable terms possible?
- Plan – Define your needs ahead of time, do not wait until the last minute. This is especially true of Florida home purchases.
- Consult – Talk to your Florida mortgage professional on a regular basis so they can interpret recent market events to you and communicate how those events can affect you.
- Execute – When you have defined your needs and have determined that now is the best time to move forward, don’t shop yourself out of a good loan! What does this mean? It is easy to get caught up in shopping for the best Florida rate, but it is not uncommon for home owners to miss locking their loan at a great rate because they are in search of better rates that do not exist or that they do not qualify for. It is important to shop to ensure you are getting the best rate possible, but set limits to the number of companies you are going to consider doing business with and be careful of having your credit report needlessly pulled more times than is necessary!
