| Mortgage Rates Little Changed From Monday | ||
| 8/19/2025 2:32 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are based on bonds and bonds, and bonds have some seasonality to them. This doesn"t necessarily mean there"s a reliable seasonal pattern for the direction of rate movement. Rather, it means that several weeks in August tend to be fairly forgettable in terms of excitement, volatility, and methodical movement. The 2 ...Read More | ||
| Rates Trickle to Another Higher Low | ||
| 8/18/2025 2:39 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are as high as they"ve been on almost any other day this month. You"d have to go back to August 1st to see anything higher. On the other hand, rates are still noticeably lower than almost any other day of the past 10 months. It"s really only the past 2 weeks that have been any better and the gap between recent highs...Read More | ||
| Highest Rates This Week, But Close Enough to Long Term Lows | ||
| 8/15/2025 1:17 PM | ||
| Friday proved to be the weakest day of the week for the underlying bond market and, thus, the highest day of the week for mortgage rates. Retail sales data was generally stronger than expected, especially when considering revisions and when focusing on the "core" numbers that strip out more volatile categories such as autos/fuel and building materi...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Mostly Steady Despite Some Market Volatility | ||
| 8/14/2025 12:08 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates hit fresh long term lows yesterday with the average top tier 30yr fixed rate at the best levels since October 3rd, 2024. There wasn"t anything exceptional about the movement yesterday or on any other day in the past week. Rather, it was the jobs report at the beginning of the month that accounted for a 2-day rally. ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hit New 10 Month Lows | ||
| 8/13/2025 12:34 PM | ||
| October 3rd, 2024 continues to be the day to beat when it comes to mortgage rates hanging out at 10 month lows. Today"s top tier 30yr fixed rate matched October 4th levels for the first time since then, just barely edging out last week"s lowest levels. Hitting the next milestone will be a much bigger challenge. The gap between October 3rd an...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady After Key Inflation Report | ||
| 8/12/2025 2:50 PM | ||
| Pundits, politicians, and everyone else can continue to assume that mortgage rates will respond to changes to the Fed Funds Rate. Meanwhile the bonds that actually dictate mortgage pricing will continue responding to the most important economic reports. The two biggest examples are the monthly jobs report and today"s release of the Consumer Price I...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Steady Ahead of High Stakes Inflation Report | ||
| 8/11/2025 1:58 PM | ||
| The average top tier 30yr fixed rate held exceptionally steady last week after moving just a bit lower over the weekend. By comparison, today"s rates are much closer to Friday"s latest levels and still very close to the lowest we"ve seen since October, 2024. If the two key economic considerations for interest rates are jobs and inflation, th...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Flat Ahead of Next Week’s High-Stakes Data | ||
| 8/8/2025 12:57 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates finally moved in a slightly more noticeable direction today, but the change was still inconsequential in the bigger picture. The average 30yr fixed rate in our index edged up a mere 2 hundredths of a percent from 6.55% to 6.57%, exactly matching the levels seen on August 6th. This leaves rates in the same low range they’ve occupied a...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hit Another New Longer-Term Low | ||
| 8/7/2025 2:54 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have barely budged after Monday with the day-over-day change failing to exceed 0.02% on any given day. But today"s budging happened to bring the average 30yr fixed rate to another 10-month low. Lenders are in the mid 6% range for top tier scenarios. Economic data is one of the common influences for the bonds that underly rate ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Steadily Holding Longer-Term Lows | ||
| 8/6/2025 2:31 PM | ||
| Although there were flashes of potential volatility in the underlying bond market at times today, mortgage rates made it through unscathed. In other words, the volatility wasn"t sufficient to force the average lender to make mid-day changes to the rates they decided to offer this morning. Whereas yesterday saw an inconsequentially small incr...Read More | ||
