| Mortgage Rates Higher to Start Holiday-Shortened Week | ||
| 12/23/2024 2:36 PM | ||
| Holidays have inconsistent impacts on mortgage rates because holiday"s have inconsistent impacts on the bond market (and rates are dictated by the bond market). Bond traders (the people buying and selling the bonds that ultimately determine mortgage rates) are people too. They take vacations, or tack an extra day or two onto a scheduled holid...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Recover Some of The Lost Ground | ||
| 12/20/2024 3:11 PM | ||
| The week"s big story is still the big jump in rates that took place after Wednesday"s Fed announcement. And while rates remain noticeably elevated on the week due to that jump, they"re set to end the week at slightly less elevated levels. Credit this morning"s inflation data for that development! Part of Wednesday"s Fed Day drama involved a ...Read More | ||
| If You"re Struggling to Understand This Week"s Mortgage Rate Spike, This is For You | ||
| 12/19/2024 2:50 PM | ||
| We received some anonymous feedback regarding recent rate commentary that serves as a good reminder that not everyone may be picking up what we"re putting down, or worse yet, picking up things that we never put down in the first place. We spend a lot of time talking about how the bond market prices in the impact of Fed rate cuts on the...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Jump Abruptly Higher After The Fed"s Rate Cut | ||
| 12/18/2024 3:19 PM | ||
| If anyone needed any further convincing that a Fed rate cut is no guarantee of lower mortgage rates, today is a great piece of evidence. Perhaps "great" is the wrong word. There was nothing great about the mortgage rate movement following today"s Fed rate cut. The average lender is at least 0.20% higher than earlier this morning. ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Effectively Unchanged Ahead of Fed Announcement | ||
| 12/17/2024 2:36 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have been having a much calmer week compared to last week. Monday brought a modest decline versus last Friday and today"s rates are effectively unchanged. While the average lender is still noticeably higher compared to the first few days of the month, this resilience helps make a case that rates aren"t eager to revisit t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Start New Week With Some Hope | ||
| 12/16/2024 2:56 PM | ||
| Last week wasn"t great for mortgage rates. They moved higher on each of the 5 days. Moreover, there was a distinct lack of logical motivation from the economic data. In fact, on a few occasions, the data argued for lower rates only for things to move in the other direction by the end of the day. The new week is off to a different...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Rise For 5th Straight Day | ||
| 12/13/2024 2:13 PM | ||
| There"s no easy way to say it: it was a bad week for mortgage rates. Actually, it was a bad week for interest rates in general and mortgage rates typically follow the rest of the rate market. After hitting the lowest levels in a month and a half last Friday, each of the next 5 days saw a modest to moderate increase in the average lende...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Back to Highest Levels in a Week | ||
| 12/12/2024 3:08 PM | ||
| It"s been a bummer of a week for mortgage rates with modest to moderate increases every day so far. Adding insult to injury is the fact that there hasn"t been any compelling reason for the increase as far as this week"s new economic data is concerned. Economic data is a constant consideration for rates. Generally speaking, weaker data ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Started Lower, But Ended Higher | ||
| 12/11/2024 2:32 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were having a pretty decent day at first. The bond market was only slightly weaker overnight (implies some upward pressure on rates), but quickly improved after the Consumer Price Index (CPI) data at 8:30am ET. Notably, CPI was right in line with forecasts--something that often results in lower conviction and volatility ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Moving Back Up | ||
| 12/10/2024 2:34 PM | ||
| Between November 18th and December 6th, the average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate moved down from 7.08 to 6.68. A 0.40% drop is rather significant, especially over the course of only 3 weeks. Over the past 2 days, however, we"ve lost a quarter of that improvement. Today saw rates increase just a bit more than yesterday. This ...Read More | ||
