| 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 | ||
| Mortgage Rates Back Down to Lowest Levels in 2 Weeks | ||
| 1/16/2025 3:01 PM | ||
| After having a great day yesterday, mortgage rates were able to add another "good" day today. The net effect brings the average lender"s top tier 30yr fixed rate back down to levels last seen on January 2nd, exactly 2 weeks ago. Yesterday"s key motivation was the palatable inflation data in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). T...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Drop Back to Last Week"s Levels After Softer Inflation Data | ||
| 1/15/2025 3:08 PM | ||
| We knew that today"s Consumer Price Index (CPI) was a hotly anticipated economic report that at least had the potential to give rates a big push, and it didn"t disappoint. Any time we"re dealing with an important economic report that gives rates a big push, there"s generally an equal chance of getting pushed in either direction. We can know ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Make a Modest Recovery Ahead of Important Inflation Data | ||
| 1/14/2025 3:26 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates officially hit the highest levels since May 2024 yesterday, even though the average was almost imperceptibly higher than last Friday"s. We saw a similarly small move today, but in the opposite direction. In other words, the average rate moved lower by an amount that won"t even have an impact on many of yesterday"s rate quotes....Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Slightly Higher to Start New Week | ||
| 1/13/2025 3:15 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates rose to the highest levels since May 2024 by the end of last week following a stronger reading on the jobs report. Technically, the same thing happened today, but only because rates inched just a bit higher from Friday"s latest levels. This time around, there wasn"t any big-ticket economic data to motivate movement and the min...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Jump Sharply Higher After Jobs Report | ||
| 1/10/2025 2:57 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were already at 6 month highs earlier this week so it didn"t take much of a push to send them up to new 7 month highs today. The push in question came from today"s hotly-anticipated jobs report. No other economic report has as much consistent potential to cause volatility for interest rates. As such, when today"s job creation ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Just a Hair Lower. Friday Could be Much More Volatile | ||
| 1/9/2025 12:47 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are driven by movement in the bond market and bonds were on a shortened schedule today due to the federal day of mourning for Jimmy Carter. As such, volume and volatility were in short supply. Still, overnight market movement allowed the average lender to offer a microscopic improvement versus yesterday. Tomorrow (Friday, Jan ...Read More | ||
| Highest Mortgage Rates Since June | ||
| 1/8/2025 1:54 PM | ||
| For the second day in a row, mortgage rates have moved higher at a modest to moderate pace. Unfortunately, that"s been a trend so far in 2025 and it"s compounded by the fact that rates were already close to their recent highs. The net effect is a move up to the highest levels since June for the average lender"s top tier conventional 30yr fixed rat...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Rise to Match 6 Month Highs | ||
| 1/7/2025 2:36 PM | ||
| We came into the current week knowing that rates would take cues from any clear cues in this week"s economic data. In general, that means higher rates in response to stronger data or lower rates if the data is weaker. Today"s data was stronger across the board. One of the most closely watched economic reports that most people hav...Read More | ||
