I remember we were re-financing this time last year and people (including many regular bloggers on Bubble Info) were so certain rates were going to be WAY up by now. In fact, I can remember posting something to the effect that, for no other reason other than that EVERYONE feels rates are due to skyrocket, I am going to predict that they will actually be lower at this time next year (which is now). Not sure exeactly how, but my prediction ended up being acurate.
