Near Record Setting Week For Boredom Among Mortgage Rate Watchers
3/28/2024 2:01 PM
Unfortunately, we don"t have a great way to measure all of the past precedents, but it"s safe to say that the this was one of the least volatile weeks in the history of mortgage rates.  Our daily rate index never moved more than 0.01 and it remained in a 0.01 range. Today"s average rate was right in line with yesterday"s even though the bond ...Read More
 
Super Steady Streak Sustained
3/27/2024 2:44 PM
There are probably only a few 4-day streaks with effectively no movement in mortgage rates, and this is one of them.  After falling to 6.91% last Friday, the MND rate index hasn"t moved more than 0.01%. Granted, some lenders have been higher or lower during that time, but they offset each other in such a way that the average stayed flat. Ther...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Barely Budge For 2nd Straight Day
3/26/2024 2:44 PM
After moving back under 7% last week (conventional, 30yr fixed, top tier scenario), mortgage rates have been increasingly unlikely to move.  Today was the 2nd day in a row with essentially no change for the average lender. Rates are driven by bonds and bonds are waiting on the most relevant economic data to offer a comment on the path of infl...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Basically Unchanged Over The Weekend
3/25/2024 3:07 PM
Mortgage rates enjoyed a decently strong week last week, with the average top tier conventional 30yr fixed rate moving down to 6.91% by Friday from 7.09% on the previous Friday.  To put today"s "unchanged" headline in perspective, that same number is up to 6.92% this afternoon. To put all of the above in an even broader perspective, the recen...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Now Lowest in Nearly 2 Weeks
3/22/2024 4:15 PM
As the broader market continued rubbing its eyes in disbelief over the Fed"s exceptionally calm attitude on inflation, bonds continued to improve today.  Stronger bonds mean lower rates.  The average mortgage lender was able to drop rates to the lowest levels in nearly 2 weeks--just a hair above March 11th levels. Most of the bond market...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Are Actually LOWER This Week
3/21/2024 3:33 PM
It"s Thursday and thus time once again to check in with Freddie Mac"s weekly mortgage rate survey versus reality.  To be fair, it"s not that Freddie isn"t participating in reality.  It"s just not the same version of reality you might prefer if you are in need of more timely updates on rate trends. Freddie logged a big increase over last ...Read More
 
Fed "Held Rates Steady," But Mortgage Rates Improved
3/20/2024 3:25 PM
The rate market was intently focused on today"s announcement from the Federal Reserve.  While many news headlines emphasize the Fed "holding rates steady," but that"s not what the bond market was focused on.  Because mortgage rates are determined by the bond market, that meant they were free to move even though the Fed stood still. Marke...Read More
 
What Will The Fed Do To Mortgage Rates on Wednesday?
3/19/2024 3:11 PM
Mortgage rates were roughly unchanged on Tuesday, capping a short but meaningful losing streak over the past 6 business days. During that time, the average 30yr fixed rate move back into the low 7s and came close enough to the 2024 ceiling from 3 weeks ago. Impending events are set to either reinforce the ceiling or see it broken.  The events...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Inch to March Highs
3/18/2024 2:50 PM
Rates marched higher to the highest levels in March today, but most lenders are only microscopically worse off than Friday afternoon.  In the slightly bigger picture rates have moved up roughly a quarter of a percent in just over a week and that"s a relatively quick move. The last time rates rose a quarter of a point in short order was at the...Read More
 
On The Road To Rate Cuts, Markets Asking "Are We There Yet?" (Spoiler Alert: No)
3/15/2024 3:49 PM
Back in late 2023, we got in the car with the Federal Reserve with the promise of a trip to our favorite place: the land of lower interest rates. In 2024, we keep asking "are we there yet?" The more we ask, the farther we seem to be from the destination. This trip began with all the best intentions. Softer inflation and cooler economic data led th...Read More
