| Mortgage Rates Just a Bit Lower as Winning Streak Hits 5 Days | ||
| 5/7/2024 2:58 PM | ||
| There have been 3 winning streaks for mortgage rates in 2024 where the average rate has moved lower for at least 5 days and where the conventional 30yr fixed rate has fallen by more than 0.25%. Before today, there were only two. The present example didn"t receive a notable boost from its 5th consecutive day of improvement, and th...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Modestly Lower to Start The New Week | ||
| 5/6/2024 3:16 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates did well last week, making it almost halfway back to the lower levels seen on April 9th. Why focus on April 9th? That was the last day before the most recent Consumer Price Index (CPI). Why focus on CPI? That"s the monthly economic data that matters most to rate movement these days. It"s not the only game in ...Read More | ||
| Rates End Week at Lowest levels since April 9th | ||
| 5/3/2024 4:14 PM | ||
| It was an action-packed week for the housing and mortgage market. Wednesday"s Fed announcement was the highlight, but we also got several economic reports that caused rate volatility. Thankfully, it was mostly the good kind. The week got off to a slightly stronger start with Monday"s only major rate news being updated borrowing estimates from the ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Sneak to 2 Week Lows With Important Data on Deck | ||
| 5/2/2024 3:28 PM | ||
| The bond market--which dictates interest rates--had a generally favorable response to yesterday"s update from the Federal Reserve. While the Fed didn"t cut rates, and while they"re increasingly acknowledging that rate cuts are moving farther into the future, they still think data will evolve in a way that results in the next move being a cut ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Lower After Fed Announcement | ||
| 5/1/2024 3:08 PM | ||
| Wednesday brought a full schedule of events and data for the bond market to digest and bonds dictate day to day changes in mortgage rates. The morning"s data was perfectly palatable, resulting in modest strength heading into the afternoon"s Fed announcement. Contrary to impression given by many news headlines on Fed day, there is rarely any ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Back Up And Over 7.5% | ||
| 4/30/2024 2:47 PM | ||
| A mortgage rate is highly subjective and can vary for a variety of reasons. A news story that provides an outright level like 7.5% requires context and qualification. Some online advertisements (especially among builders) could still be showing rates in the high 6"s. Some borrowers will be seeing rates of 7.625 or higher. L...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Sideways to Slightly Lower to Start New Week | ||
| 4/29/2024 2:54 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates didn"t change much at all over the weekend with the average lender still in the highest territory since November. The average conventional 30yr fixed rate is just under 7.5% for top tier scenarios. Things could end up changing quite a bit by the end of this week owing to a slew of important events and economic reports. T...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Recover Some of Thursday"s Weakness After Friday"s Economic Data | ||
| 4/26/2024 4:23 PM | ||
| As 2024 has progressed, economic data--especially inflation data--have made it increasingly clear that rates will not be coming down nearly as soon as the Fed (and the market) expected. Rates are driven by multiple factors. At present, inflation is chief among those, followed by the economy. In general, higher inflation and e...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Jump Up And Over 7.5% After Inflation Surprise | ||
| 4/25/2024 2:50 PM | ||
| Interest rates care about quite a few different things, but inflation and Fed policy are two of the biggest considerations. One of the Fed"s favorite ways to track progress on inflation is the PCE price index which comes out every month, but also every quarter. Oddly enough, the quarterly comes out a day before the monthly data on the 4 days...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Pleasantly Stable Despite Some Bond Market Weakness | ||
| 4/24/2024 3:10 PM | ||
| The average mortgage lender was able to offer conventional 30yr fixed rates that were very close to yesterday"s levels despite bond market movement that suggested a bigger spike. In a vast majority of cases, if the bond market is in weaker territory compared to the previous day, rates will be higher in proportion to that weakness. In today"s...Read More | ||
