Interest rate going up?

We are supposed to close in the coming month and we're noticing the rate keeps increasing. So much for a a save! Is the interest rate going to continue to creep up?

Interest rates jumped about a half point in the last 3-4 weeks.

our bank contact told us they are on the rise (nothing we can do until we sell)

Maybe you can lock in with a float down? (we actually got 2 float downs for free - but one was b/c our banker told us the wrong rate - astoria gives (or maybe gave at that time) one float down for free to everyone

yes.. we're going to close in mid-Jan.
We locked in the day before they went up @ 4.75% w/ a float down option before Jan. 15th. We were first quoted 4.5%. It's now 5% (I think) If not 5.25%. Either way, it's still a good rate- not like 7-8%. I think it'll still help sales.
