| 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 | ||
| Mortgage Rates Slip to Another Multi-Week Low | ||
| 10/15/2025 3:26 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are based on bonds and bonds are trading at their best levels since September 17th. Of course there are different kinds of bonds, so we should specify that we"re talking about the bonds that are specifically tied to mortgages (MBS or mortgage backed securities). With this in mind, it"s no surprise to see mortgage rates a...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Maintain Last Week"s Gains | ||
| 10/14/2025 4:02 PM | ||
| Last week ended with mortgage rates dropping to their best levels since September 17th. Over the weekend, the underlying bond market maintained the gains seen on Friday afternoon, thus allowing most lenders to set rates at least as low as they were at that time. The average lender is actually just slightly lower today, thus making this another new ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Lowest Since Fed Day | ||

| Mortgage rates saw their biggest day-over-day decline of the past several weeks today in response to unexpected news regarding additional tariffs on China. Trump had previously been scheduled to meet with China"s President Xi in 2 weeks, but today said there was no reason to do so and that the administration is currently calculating a massive...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Higher | ||
| 10/9/2025 2:33 PM | ||
| It"s getting pretty tough to weave an interesting narrative on mortgage rates over the past 3 weeks. During that time, they just haven"t changed that much for the average lender. Today was just another day in that regard. Bonds (which dictate day to day movement in rates) were slightly weaker than yesterday. This implies slightly higher mortgage r...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Remain Steady | ||
| 10/8/2025 2:00 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates technically ticked a hair lower today, but it"s more accurate to view them as being broadly sideways. Some lenders issued improvements yesterday afternoon. Those lenders were closer to unchanged this morning. As of this afternoon, several lenders have already issued slight rate increases due to weakness in the bond...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady in Tight Range | ||
| 10/7/2025 2:57 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have been in a very narrow range for nearly 3 weeks with the last major move seen on September 17th and 18th following the Fed rate cut. Paradoxically but not surprisingly, rates actually moved higher after the Fed cut the Fed Funds Rate. Contrary to popular belief, Fed comments and policy changes are not the biggest consideration f...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Start The Week Near Recent Highs | ||
| 10/6/2025 3:23 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates began the week right in line with their highest levels of the past 30 days. This sounds a bit more dramatic than it is because the past 2.5 weeks have been very narrow and today"s rates are merely at the upper edge of that range (i.e. not much different than the recent lows). There were no meaningful economic reports driving v...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Lowest Since Fed Day | ||
| 10/3/2025 2:51 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates moved just a bit lower today. Relative to any other day in the past 2 weeks, it was unremarkable. But because the range has been so narrow over that time, and because rates were already at the lower boundary of that range yesterday, it technically resulted in the lowest average rate since Fed Day on September 17th. The underly...Read More | ||
