| Mortgage Rates Little Changed, But Friday Could See a Bigger Move | ||
| 6/5/2025 2:37 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates began the day perfectly in line with yesterday"s latest levels for the average lender. By the afternoon, the underlying bond market had lost enough ground that a handful of lenders were forced to issue mid-day reprices thus taking the average just a bit higher. Unlike the past few days, there wasn"t a highly important economic repor...Read More | ||
| Biggest Daily Drop For Mortgage Rates in Over a Month | ||
| 6/4/2025 3:32 PM | ||
| Whether or not today"s drop in rates is meaningful depends on one"s perspective, but in the context of recent rate movement, it"s definitely noticeable. The simplest way to think about the improvement is as follows: the average lender is now about an eighth of a percent lower in just over a week. If we want to be more specific, today"s avera...Read More | ||
| Uneventful Day For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 6/3/2025 3:02 PM | ||
| Sometimes a Tuesday is just a Tuesday for mortgage rates. In the present week, any day is capable of generating some volatility due to one of several economic reports on the calendar. This isn"t always the case, but the first week of any given month is action-packed when it comes to data. Econ data is one of the top reasons that intere...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Edge Higher to Start Busy Week | ||
| 6/2/2025 3:02 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have been in an exceptionally narrow range since last Tuesday with the 30yr fixed index hovering just under 7%. The average lender is just a hair higher today versus last Friday, but still just under 7%. As always, the index is best used as a tool to track day over day changes in rates rather than outright levels. Indivi...Read More | ||
| Another Small Victory For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 5/30/2025 2:28 PM | ||
| It has turned out to be a surprisingly calm week for mortgage rates and, as of today, largely a victorious one, even if the victories have been modest. Today"s installment involves a 0.02% drop in the average top tier 30yr fixed rate. This brings the index to the lowest level of the week and a fairly decent 0.12% below last Friday"s levels. ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Lower After Today"s Data | ||
| 5/29/2025 2:49 PM | ||
| There was a bit of behind-the-scenes volatility in the bond market today. Normally, bond volatility translates to interest rate volatility. In some cases, the timing of the volatility is such that has a minimal impact on mortgage lenders. Today was one of those days. Yesterday evening, news broke regarding a court ruling that would blo...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Mostly Steady | ||
| 5/28/2025 3:13 PM | ||
| After moving moderately lower to start the new week yesterday, mortgage rates backtracked ever-so-slightly today. Top tier conventional 30yr fixed rates remain just under 7% for the average lender. They spent 3 days above that mark last week. Rates can move for a variety of reasons with some of the most common being surprising results ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Back Under 7% | ||
| 5/27/2025 3:48 PM | ||
| The 30yr fixed mortgage rate index spent 3 consecutive days over 7% last week--the first time that"s happened since February. Rates have generally been in a more volatile, more elevated range for the past 7 weeks compared to the narrow range seen in March. To put that in perspective, the difference between these two ranges is only 0.125%--no...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Lower Again Today, But Still Higher on The Week | ||
| 5/23/2025 11:38 AM | ||
| The bond market is scheduled to close 3 hour earlier than normal today--a common practice surrounding federal holiday weekends. This means 3 fewer hours where trading volatility can have an impact on mortgage rate movement. Said more simply: the day is basically over when it comes to potential intraday rate changes. There is almost always a ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Edge Down From Recent Highs, But Remain Over 7% | ||
| 5/22/2025 2:20 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates hit their highest level in just over 3 months yesterday with financial markets generally protesting the absence of more serious spending cuts in the spending bill. Rates care about fiscal spending because higher spending requires higher Treasury issuance which, in turn, pushes rates higher, all else equal. Although the House p...Read More | ||
