| Mortgage Rates Round Out Eerily Calm Week | ||
| 1/31/2025 3:33 PM | ||
| For all of the news that seems to be highly likely to cause volatility for rates, the market reaction ended up playing out on a very small scale. The biggest day of movement was Monday, with rates opening moderately lower versus the previous week after the big AI-driven stock sell-off pushed some investors into the bond market (when traders buy mor...Read More | ||
| Lowest Rates in Over a Month, But There"s a Catch | ||
| 1/30/2025 3:08 PM | ||
| Interest rates are driven by the bond market and bonds are at their best levels in over a month. As such, it"s no surprise that mortgage rates are able to make a similar claim. In fact, we"d need to go back to December 20th to see a lower average rate for top tier 30yr fixed mortgages. The catch is that today"s rate is so close to yesterday"...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Barely Budge After Fed Announcement | ||
| 1/29/2025 2:47 PM | ||
| Heading into today"s Fed announcement, we didn"t expect to receive any significant surprise on the stance of monetary policy. Financial markets had long since ruled out the possibility of a rate cut and we knew Powell could only really acknowledge recent progress in inflation data while maintaining that more progress is needed for additional ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Little Changed Ahead of Fed Meeting | ||
| 1/28/2025 2:07 PM | ||
| The average mortgage lender remained right in line with yesterday"s levels despite a bit of weakness in the bond market. Lenders who improved their rates yesterday afternoon were slightly higher. Others were slightly lower. This is a solid outcome considering the market motivations over the past 2 days. Specifically, rates ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Only Moderately Lower After Tech Rout | ||
| 1/27/2025 2:47 PM | ||
| There are two distinct patterns of behavior when it comes to rates interacting with stocks. The first could be called the "conventional wisdom" pattern, which holds that investors move money between stocks and bonds, thus creating a correlation between stock prices and rates (as investors buy more bonds, rates move lower). The second pattern...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Back to Their Boring Ways | ||
| 1/24/2025 2:46 PM | ||
| While there were only 4 business days instead of the customary 5, it"s been an intensely boring week for mortgage rates. Tuesday started out right where Friday left off. From there, Thursday brought the only noticeable change with the average lender moving up to the highest levels in just over a week. Friday saw a return to the boring trend ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Moderately Higher | ||
| 1/23/2025 2:39 PM | ||
| After several consecutive days without any noticeable changes, mortgage rates finally made a move today. Unfortunately, that move was higher. Thankfully, it was neither extreme nor sufficient to challenge last week"s highs. Nonetheless, it keeps the average lender uncomfortably close to the highest levels in 8 months with the most preva...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Same Level For 3rd Straight Day | ||
| 1/22/2025 2:38 PM | ||
| Given that rates take cues from bonds and bonds take cues from economic data, it"s perhaps no surprise to see an absence of volatility in rates on a week that has very little to offer in terms of economic data. Still, mortgage rates usually manage to move a bit even when there are no compelling events to react to. Why is this week different? ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Unimpacted by New Executive Orders | ||
| 1/21/2025 3:36 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are driven predominantly by the bond market and bonds were able to clear up a few curiosities on inauguration day. Specifically, traders expected multiple executive orders with several focusing on proposed tariffs. While history suggests the conventional wisdom may be faulty, the general belief is that tariffs increase i...Read More | ||
| Uneventful Day For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 1/17/2025 3:19 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are driven by the bond market and Friday was the least active day of the week for bonds. There were no major economic reports to cause rapid changes in trading levels. As such, mortgage rates started out very close to the levels seen yesterday and most lenders didn"t make any mid-day changes. The absence of any significant mov...Read More | ||
