| Mortgage Rates Take Another Step Toward April Lows | ||
| 6/30/2025 2:28 PM | ||
| April 3rd and 4th saw the average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rates well into the "mid 6"s." Many lenders were able to quote 6.5% at the time. Just a few days ago, we noted there was still a ways to go before breaking below those early April levels, but the past few days have taken us within striking distance. The average lender...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Not Too Far From 8 Month Lows | ||
| 6/27/2025 12:16 PM | ||
| Friday"s mortgage rates ended up being right in line with Thursday"s on average. At 6.72%, the MND daily rate index is as low as it"s been since early April when it hit 6.60%. If you"re thinking that 6.72 doesn"t sound much higher than 6.60, you"re right! Mortgage lenders tend to offer rates in 0.125% increments, so we"re really only o...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rate Winning Streak Continues | ||
| 6/26/2025 2:02 PM | ||
| After topping out on May 21st, the average day for mortgage rates has been a good one. This has been especially true since June 6th with our 30yr fixed index moving down almost 0.25% through this afternoon. Today"s gains contributed nicely with a drop of 0.07%. Normally, we"d point to the economic release calendar to help explain this sort o...Read More | ||
| Lowest Rates in Over 2 Months | ||
| 6/25/2025 2:21 PM | ||
| The average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate had already dipped to the lowest levels since May 1st at the start of the week. Two additional days of modest improvement brings us to the lowest levels since April 4th as of today. April 4th is probably a day that"s worth remembering. If rates take out that particular floor, it...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Lowest Since April | ||
| 6/24/2025 1:37 PM | ||
| Yesterday saw mortgage rates fall to the best levels since early May. Now, today, we"d have to go all the way back to the end of April to find anything lower. Are the changes massive? Not by a long shot, but it sounds/looks that much better hear/read. This wasn"t destined to be the case today. The underlying bond market actually ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Lowest Since May 1st | ||
| 6/23/2025 2:12 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates ended the previous week roughly in line with the best levels since May 1st. Today"s modest improvement made it official. Mortgage rates are primarily a function of trading levels in the bond market and bonds have had a few reasons to move at the start of the new week. There"s a small case to be made that U.S. involvemen...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady | ||
| 6/20/2025 12:07 PM | ||
| With Thursday being a federal holiday, banks (and more importantly, the underlying market for mortgage related bonds) were closed. This means that lenders were not able to update mortgage rates. It turns out that it wouldn"t have mattered either way as the average lender has barely budged from Wednesday"s levels. But let"s not mi...Read More | ||
| Remarkable Absence of Mortgage Rate Volatility | ||
| 6/18/2025 3:17 PM | ||
| It happens, but it"s rare. A Fed "dot plot" day has come and gone with mortgage rates almost perfectly unchanged from the previous day. This speaks to the level of indecision not only in the market, but also among Fed members. First off, what"s a "dot plot day?" The dot plot (or simply, "the dots") refers to a chart/table in the Fed"s econo...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Slightly Lower Ahead of Fed Day | ||
| 6/17/2025 2:19 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates continue operating in a narrow range with almost every day of the past two months falling between 6.8 and 7.0% for a top tier 30yr fixed scenario. Today"s average rate fell 0.03 after moving up 0.06 since June 12th. This morning"s most relevant potential influence--the Retail Sales report--turned out to have a limited impact this mo...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Drift Slightly Higher to Start The Week | ||
| 6/16/2025 2:53 PM | ||
| While there"s been no shortage of political and geopolitical headlines over the past 2 business days, there hasn"t been much by way of inspiration for the bond market. Bonds (and, thus, rates) have moved nonetheless. Perhaps it was the lower rates achieved last Thursday that prompted a pullback, or perhaps traders are pricing in some c...Read More | ||
