| Mortgage Rates Staying Steady to Close Out 2025 | ||
| 12/31/2025 12:10 PM | ||
| Although Freddie Mac"s weekly mortgage rate survey (released today) suggested the lowest rates since October 2024, our daily numbers offer a bit more nuance. To be sure, October 28th and September 16th both saw distinctly lower rates this year. Today"s rates are right in line with yesterday"s as well as last Friday"s. In other wo...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Microscopically Higher | ||
| 12/30/2025 2:11 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates continue operating in an excruciatingly narrow range near their lowest levels of the past few years. Yesterday was the 6th best day of 2025. Today is tied for 7th place after rates moved 0.01% higher on average. While the underlying bond market is fully open today, it"s a slow time of year in terms of volume and volatility. Bigger m...Read More | ||
| New 2-Month Lows, Just Barely | ||
| 12/29/2025 2:31 PM | ||
| With another holiday closure on deck and light calendar of events, the rate market is off to another uneventful start this week. In fact, the average lender barely budged from last Friday. But it was enough for MND"s 30yr fixed rate index to tick down by 0.01%. This is the lowest level since October 28th--just barely edging out the lows seen on No...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Match 2-Month Lows | ||
| 12/26/2025 2:00 PM | ||
| Because mortgage rates are determined by the bond market, a boring market day typically translates to a boring mortgage rate day. But that"s not entirely true today. While the level of movement is indeed very small, it only took a small movement to get the average 30yr fixed rate down to their lowest levels since the end of October. N...Read More | ||
| Lowest Rates in Nearly a Month | ||
| 12/24/2025 12:01 PM | ||
| It was a short day for the bond market that underlies mortgage rates, but a good one. A side effect of holiday weeks and early market closures is a bit of random volatility without any obvious justification. When volume and participation are low, bonds can move a bit more than they otherwise might. All that to say today"s improvement was luck of t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Ultimately Unchanged After Starting Higher | ||
| 12/23/2025 3:11 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have broadly been in a narrow holding pattern for the past 4 months and an even narrower range during December. Today will do nothing to change that with the average lender ending the day exactly where they left of yesterday. Earlier today, however, the average lender was offering slightly higher higher rates. The upward pressure ca...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady to Start Holiday-Shortened Week | ||
| 12/22/2025 2:21 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are tied to movement in the bond market and bonds were close enough to Friday"s levels that mortgage rates were essentially unchanged today. This keeps the average lender in the lower portion of the narrow range seen over the past 4 months. If rates manage to move noticeably lower from here, they"ll be challenging the lowest le...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Just Off 2-Week Lows | ||
| 12/19/2025 3:09 PM | ||
| It ended up being a fairly uneventful day for mortgage rates despite scattered speculation about the impact of foreign monetary policy decisions. The average lender nudged just a hair higher, resulting in the 2nd lowest reading of the week. Apart from yesterday, the last day with lower rates was more than 2 weeks ago on December 4th. The coming we...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near Lowest Levels Since October | ||
| 12/18/2025 2:44 PM | ||
| Officially, there were 2 days at the end of November where the average lender"s 30yr fixed rates were just a hair lower (0.02% difference). Otherwise, today"s rates would be the lowest since late October. The improvement follows this morning"s release of November"s Consumer Price Index (CPI). Inflation was so far below expectations that it r...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Unchanged Ahead of Important Inflation Data | ||
| 12/17/2025 2:51 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were perfectly unchanged compared to yesterday"s levels for the average lender. This wasn"t a huge surprise considering the absence of any high stakes economic data, but tomorrow could be a different story. Rates are driven by bonds and the economy is one of the primary sources of motivation for the bond market. In general, the two ...Read More | ||
