hurry up....buy buy buy before mortgage rates go up more, because of course paying more for your home and getting "locked" into a good rate is far better than paying less and getting screwed on an interest rate. duh!

these rates are going to 7.5% soon...

That's great! If mortgage rates go up, prices will go down even faster.
