| Yet Again, Mortgage Rates Surge Higher After Fed Rate Cut | ||
| 10/29/2025 3:02 PM | ||
| Today was not a foregone conclusion and there was no way to know ahead of time that it would end like this, but the outcome is exactly why we"ve gone to such lengths to warn you about the potentially paradoxical reaction to a Fed rate cut. Too many people repeat the fallacy that mortgage rates will benefit from a Fed cut. We have sever...Read More | ||
| Lowest Rates in a Year. Tomorrow"s Fed Announcement Could Push Them in EITHER Direction | ||
| 10/28/2025 3:11 PM | ||
| Rates have been flirting with long term lows over the past 2 weeks, but today made it official. Today"s average top tier 30yr fixed rate perfectly matched that seen on September 16th, 2025. That"s the lowest it"s been since September 2024, and we"re so close to those lows that it"s just as fair to say rates are the lowest they"ve been i...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Perfectly Flat to Start The Week | ||
| 10/27/2025 2:15 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates fell to the lowest levels in a month last Tuesday and barely budged through the rest of the week. Now, at the start of the new week, the average lender is perfectly unchanged from last Friday. This means there are only a small handful of days with meaningfully lower rates going all the way back to late 2022. As the government shutdo...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Little-Changed Despite Decent Inflation Data | ||
| 10/24/2025 1:45 PM | ||
| This morning brought the release of the much-anticipated Consumer Price Index (CPI). This is one of the two biggest inflation reports from the U.S. government, and the only government inflation report that"s coming out during the shutdown. With big government data being a key consideration for interest rates, this special release got extra at...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Seeing Some Underlying Pressure Ahead of Inflation Data | ||
| 10/23/2025 2:22 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were effectively unchanged on Thursday with the average lender very close to the best levels in over a year. But when it comes to the underlying bond market and the rates available to consumers, there are some dislocations that suggest risk is increasing. Specifically, bonds lost ground today. This normally implies higher mortgage r...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Steady At Long Term Lows | ||
| 10/22/2025 2:14 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates were perfectly unchanged today, on average. With that, they remain in line with the lowest levels in more than a year and very close to the lowest levels in more than 3 years. Recent momentum has been moderate and favorable. In the absence of big economic reports that are on hold due to the shutdown, bonds have taken cue...Read More | ||
| Another Winning Day For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 10/21/2025 3:29 PM | ||
| The bonds that underly mortgage rates were only slightly stronger today, but that"s never a bad thing when they closed near the best levels in a year the previous day. Additionally, those bonds improved by the end of the day yesterday, meaning that mortgage lenders were going into today with a bit of a cushion. When lenders set rates, they are bas...Read More | ||
| Another Boring Day With Mortgage Rates Near 3-Year Lows | ||
| 10/20/2025 2:23 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates ended last week at the lowest levels in just over a month. It was the 3rd best day in over a year and the 24th best day in over 3 years. The other 23 days weren"t too much lower either. The only difference today is a microscopic improvement that makes it the 2nd best day in over a year. In other words, we"re hanging out near 3 year ...Read More | ||
| Rates Hold Steady Just Above 3 Year Lows | ||
| 10/17/2025 1:22 PM | ||
| The average top tier 30yr fixed rate was unchanged on Friday despite the bond market being slightly weaker. Normally, weaker bonds mean higher rates, but the timing of intraday market movement matters. In today"s case, bonds are still much stronger than the first half of yesterday, and only weaker when compared to closing levels. Because mortgage ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Quickly Approaching Long-Term Lows | ||
| 10/16/2025 2:42 PM | ||
| Despite a stark absence of any truly inspiring events, interest rates have managed to put in two fairly serious days of movement. In today"s case specifically, there was an obvious intraday surge in the underlying bond market. While that surge wasn"t readily attributable to any data or news headline, it prompted many mortgage lenders to reissue low...Read More | ||
