Read the Fed announcements. Once you know the current Fed Funds Rate plus what the Fed is likely to do at their next session, you can find out what relationship consumer mortgage or commercial rates have to the Fed Funds Rate and approximate the current and near term future rates. Current Fed Funds Rate is 3.75% to 4%. The Fed has indicated that it's likely to go up another 50 bps (1/2%) next session.
A local credit union currently has fixed 30 rates for home purchases with great credit at about 6% currently, so Fed Funds Rate + 2%.
Every lending market is different as I'm sure you're aware. Projections into the future are a WAG, because the Fed can change course with little advance notice.
