| Mortgage Rates Are Actually HIGHER This Week | ||
| 9/19/2024 2:47 PM | ||
| Today"s release of Freddie Mac"s Primary Mortgage Market Survey took at bad problem and made it worse. Freddie"s survey methodology means that today"s reported rate is an average of the 5 days leading up to yesterday. The first few days in that time frame indeed saw the lowest rates in more than a year and a half, but they"ve definitely...Read More | ||
| Yes! Mortgage Rates Really Did Move HIGHER After The Fed Rate Cut | ||
| 9/18/2024 3:59 PM | ||
| We publish daily coverage of mortgage rate movement and have done so for nearly 20 years now. It"s a great place to quickly check in on rate trends and to get a sense of what"s true and what matters. If you"d been checking in at any point in the past few days/weeks, you likely saw one of several attempts to remind readers that today"s F...Read More | ||
| What Might a Fed Rate Cut do For Mortgage Rates? | ||
| 9/17/2024 2:19 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have fallen nearly 2% from last year"s peak. Much of that decrease can be viewed as the normal phenomenon of longer term rates getting in position for changes in short term rates. The point we"re about to make is that mortgage rates have already adjusted for what the Fed is likely to do--not just at this meeting, but many...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Inch Lower to Begin Potentially Wild Week | ||
| 9/16/2024 2:18 PM | ||
| The new week began on a relatively quiet note in terms of mortgage rate movement and the underlying bond market. There was modest volatility earlier this morning with a Manufacturing survey causing some headwinds for bonds. This would normally lead to slightly higher mortgage rates, but bonds recovered shortly thereafter and spent...Read More | ||
| Low Volatility in Mortgage Rates, But Next Week Could be Very Different | ||
| 9/13/2024 2:55 PM | ||
| We"ve talked a lot about why the Fed rate cut will have no additional positive impact on mortgage rates next week. Everything the market can already reasonably foresee about what the Fed might do is already reflected in today"s mortgage rates. In other words, much of the sharp mortgage rate decline seen in recent months is simply a reflection...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Higher For First Time This Month | ||
| 9/12/2024 3:19 PM | ||
| While it"s true that there have only been 8 business days so far this month, it"s also true that today is the only one of the 8 where mortgage rates haven"t been lower than the previous day for the average lender. That"s the bad news. The good news is that today"s increase was modest. In fact, if you take yesterday out of the equation ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Lowest Since February 2023 | ||
| 9/11/2024 2:31 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates moved lower again today despite a key inflation report coming in higher than expected. This is counterintuitive for anyone who"s been following rate movement closely over the past few years. During that time, inflation reports have had a strong, direct connection to mortgage rate volatility with higher inflation be...Read More | ||
| Another Long-Term Low For Rates Ahead of an Inflation Report That Was Once a Really Big Deal | ||
| 9/10/2024 3:12 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are based on trading in the bond market and bonds consistently take cues from economic data. Among the data, some reports are vastly more important than others--as we"ve seen after several recent examples of the jobs report. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is another extremely important report. At least it can be, at time...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Holding Near Long-Term Lows to Start New Week | ||
| 9/9/2024 2:55 PM | ||
| The average lender"s top tier 30yr fixed rate fell to the lowest level since April 2023 last week. That"s down more than 1.25% over the past 5 months. During that time, economic data and the Fed"s interpretation of the data have moved into better alignment with the idea of a rate cut cycle. As always, things like Treasury yields and mor...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Drop to Lowest Levels Since April 2023 | ||
| 9/6/2024 4:15 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have a long and storied history of making big moves on the day that the big monthly jobs report comes out. In that regard, today was fairly normal. Indeed, the jobs report came out and mortgage rates made their biggest move of the week, dropping to the lowest levels since April 2023. The biggest catch in today"s case was...Read More | ||
