| Mortgage Rates Sideways to Slightly Lower | ||
| 10/15/2024 3:03 PM | ||
| The average mortgage lender is quoting rates that are just a fraction of a hair lower today compared to last Friday. Lenders were either closed or otherwise not able to update rates yesterday due to the Federal holiday. Anything other than "higher" is a victory recently. Rate jumped at the 2nd fastest pace of the year after the j...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Side-Step Into Holiday Weekend | ||
| 10/11/2024 2:28 PM | ||
| While this week"s rates were substantially higher than most of last week"s, if we remove a few flashes of volatility, the average lender stayed very close to Monday morning"s levels. Wednesday afternoon and Thursday mid-day definitely saw multiple negative reprices, but in each case, the bond market recovered enough to limit the volatil...Read More | ||
| Here"s What"s Really Going on With Mortgage Rates This Week | ||
| 10/10/2024 2:59 PM | ||
| We can appreciate that the daunting task of determining what "the" actual mortgage rate may be at any given moment. The word "the" is singled out in the previous sentence because there isn"t one, perfect, singular, "going rate" for a mortgage. There"s a bell curve with most lenders near the center and a few outliers at the margins. ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Sideways to Higher | ||
| 10/9/2024 2:28 PM | ||
| Today brought the release of the minutes from the most recent Fed meeting in addition to numerous Fed speeches and the scheduled auction of 10yr Treasuries. Each of these events has at least some track record of causing volatility for interest rates, but none of them had an impact today. As for the Fed Minutes, it"s no surprise to see a lack...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Finally Level Off After Quickest Spike in Months | ||
| 10/8/2024 2:50 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates spiked at their fastest pace in months on Friday following the jobs report and yesterday added insult to injury, making for a total increase of nearly 3/8ths of a percent (.375%) in the average lender"s top tier conventional 30yr fixed rate. Moves of this size are rare, but less so when the market gets a big piece of sur...Read More | ||
| Highest Mortgage Rates in 2 Months | ||
| 10/7/2024 2:24 PM | ||
| It"s been a strange and frustrating couple of weeks for anyone who mistakenly believed that mortgage rates would move lower after the Fed rate cut. To be sure, there is plenty of that sentiment out there according to the just released Fannie Mae sentiment survey showing the highest net percentage of respondents who thought rates would go down...Read More | ||
| Massive Jump in Mortgage Rates After Jobs Report | ||
| 10/4/2024 11:04 AM | ||
| Today"s much-anticipated jobs report ended up coming out much stronger than expected. A stronger result was all but guaranteed to cause carnage (relative) in the mortgage market and that"s definitely what we"re seeing. A caveat is that rates are still much lower than they were several months ago, but the average lender is now back in li...Read More | ||
| Consistently Higher Rates Since Fed Rate Cut, But Friday Could be BIG | ||
| 10/3/2024 3:59 PM | ||
| Depending on how tuned in you"ve been to changes in our daily rate tracking, the news may be getting old at this point. Rates have done almost nothing but move higher ever since the Fed cut rates on September 18th. While this continues to be a challenge for some folks to comprehend, it was always a risk, which is why we spent several weeks wa...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near 1-Month Highs, But That"s Still Pretty Great | ||
| 10/2/2024 2:52 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates moved higher today after an employment report suggested that Friday"s forthcoming Employment Situation (the BIG jobs report) might come in slightly better than expected. The report in question, ADP Employment, is always released 2 days before the big jobs report and it"s designed to align with the key headline of that report: n...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Begin The Month With a Modest Victory | ||
| 10/1/2024 3:04 PM | ||
| While the past 5 months have been well-stocked with victories for mortgage rates, the past week and a half brought a bit of a pull back. Most of that upward momentum can be chalked up to rates rushing to get into position for the Fed"s rate cut on September 18th. It"s actually quite a bit more complicated than that, but thankfully, the ...Read More | ||
