“Here lies the body of Kevin. He drove himself insane checking mortgage rates every 10 seconds. He had until November 24 to lock in his rate, so he waited – waited for the 3.5% he had been quoted during the pre-approval process to return. He passed on 3.625%. He passed on 3.875%. He passed on 4%. Then, when the rate went back to 3.875%, he again passed. As the rate began to go higher again, he snapped and ran into oncoming traffic while shouting ‘three and a half percent!’ He is survived by his hopes and dreams and a very reasonable mortgage.”
