If you've got good credit/income/assets and it's all documentable, you should be able to find a loan in the 6-7% range with no problem. I think, however that you are under the mistaken assumption that the 30 year mortgage rates are tied to the FED overnight interest rates and a 1/2 point drop in one should equate to at least a 1/2 point drop in the other. The fact is that although a change in the Fed Funds rate will effect bond rates of all maturities and therefore mortgage rates also, this is a VERY loose relationship.

The mortgage rate changes everyday and every bank and financial institute has their individual rate. You should ask a professional who has the authority to view all of the rates after you tell what rate you are acceptable.

after the Fed cut, the fixed rates stayed about the same. The fed cut the Fed Funds rate, which can affect Mortgage rates... the market knew a cut was coming so your mortgage rates had taken the cut into account for the most part. It would be irresponsible for anyone to give you a rate based on your question. There are so many variables we don't know about your situation. You should only take seriously quotes you get from a Loan Officer who has actually seen your full credit report and full application. http://www.choicefinance.net/
