| Mortgage Rates Back Near Yesterday"s Levels After Starting Out Lower | ||
| 3/7/2025 1:47 PM | ||
| The average mortgage lender was briefly able to offer noticeably lower rates this morning compared to yesterday"s latest levels. Credit goes to this morning"s jobs report for coming in a bit weaker than expected. What do jobs have to do with rates? Rates are based on bonds and bonds are heavily influenced by the state of the economy. Today"s jobs...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Higher For 3rd Straight Day | ||
| 3/6/2025 2:18 PM | ||
| You may see conflicting news about mortgage rates today, depending on where you look. Weekly surveys, such as Freddie Mac"s, are showing a fairly big drop from last week. That was indeed the case over the 5 business days of the weekly survey, but that data is now quite stale. More timely rate metrics show the average lender raising rat...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Higher | ||
| 3/5/2025 2:12 PM | ||
| It"s been a great couple of weeks for mortgage rates, largely mirroring the terrible couple of weeks for the stock market. A combination of downbeat econ data and economic concerns helped push investors away from stocks and into bonds (mortgage rates are based on bonds where more demand means lower rates). There have been two notable attempts on t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Briefly Hit 4 Month Lows | ||
| 3/4/2025 2:31 PM | ||
| Although mortgage rates are based on bonds, and although bonds are constantly on the move throughout the day, mortgage lenders prefer to set the day"s rates only once. From there, if bonds make enough of a fuss, lenders will issue mid-day changes for better or worse. Today was a bit of a roller coaster, which is not surprising considering the exte...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Roughly Unchanged Over The Weekend | ||
| 3/3/2025 2:31 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates faced a very small threat of a very small increase this morning. The underlying bond market was in weaker territory to start the day and that typically means mortgage lenders raise rates. Indeed, many lenders were slightly higher at first. But just as the first lenders were publishing rates for the day, the ISM Manufacturing I...Read More | ||
| Rates Are Getting Really Close to 4 Month Lows | ||
| 2/28/2025 2:40 PM | ||
| After more than a week of consistent and meaningful improvement, mortgage rates finally showed us that they were at least capable of moving in the other direction yesterday. Thankfully, that demonstration was short-lived. The average lender got back to the recently typical business of offering the lowest conventional 30yr fixed rates i...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Finally Stop Moving Lower, But Just Barely | ||
| 2/27/2025 2:24 PM | ||
| Stop the presses! Mortgage rates actually moved HIGHER today! While it"s the first time we"ve been able to say such things since last Tuesday, the damage is almost imperceptible. In fact, if we compare today"s rates to yesterday morning"s they"re identical to slightly lower. Today"s rates are only worse when compared to the slightly low...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Trickle to Another Multi-Month Low | ||
| 2/26/2025 2:41 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are directly connected to the bond market, and bonds can seemingly do no wrong over the past week. Specifically, demand for bonds has been strong and steady. Higher demand begets higher prices and, when it comes to bonds, higher prices result in lower rates. On several occasions since last Friday, we"ve seen obvious exam...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Quickly Moving Toward 4 Month Lows | ||
| 2/25/2025 3:01 PM | ||
| Over the past 4 business days, the average top tier mortgage rate has fallen by 0.22%. While that may seem like a small number, consider that mortgage rates haven"t moved half as much in either direction for the entire month up until this point. Looked at another way, the last time rates moved down this much, it took more than 3 weeks. While there...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Start New Week at 2 Month Lows | ||
| 2/24/2025 3:32 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were already in line with the lowest levels since December 18th by last Thursday. They dropped to the best levels since December 12th a day later. end of last week. When today"s initial rate offerings came out, the average lender was unchanged from Friday, but as the day progressed, bonds improved and many lenders were able to...Read More | ||
