Mortgage Rates Back to Their Boring Ways | ||
1/24/2025 2:46 PM | ||
While there were only 4 business days instead of the customary 5, it"s been an intensely boring week for mortgage rates. Tuesday started out right where Friday left off. From there, Thursday brought the only noticeable change with the average lender moving up to the highest levels in just over a week. Friday saw a return to the boring trend ...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Move Moderately Higher | ||
1/23/2025 2:39 PM | ||
After several consecutive days without any noticeable changes, mortgage rates finally made a move today. Unfortunately, that move was higher. Thankfully, it was neither extreme nor sufficient to challenge last week"s highs. Nonetheless, it keeps the average lender uncomfortably close to the highest levels in 8 months with the most preva...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Hold Same Level For 3rd Straight Day | ||
1/22/2025 2:38 PM | ||
Given that rates take cues from bonds and bonds take cues from economic data, it"s perhaps no surprise to see an absence of volatility in rates on a week that has very little to offer in terms of economic data. Still, mortgage rates usually manage to move a bit even when there are no compelling events to react to. Why is this week different? ...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Unimpacted by New Executive Orders | ||
1/21/2025 3:36 PM | ||
Mortgage rates are driven predominantly by the bond market and bonds were able to clear up a few curiosities on inauguration day. Specifically, traders expected multiple executive orders with several focusing on proposed tariffs. While history suggests the conventional wisdom may be faulty, the general belief is that tariffs increase i...Read More | ||

Uneventful Day For Mortgage Rates | ||
1/17/2025 3:19 PM | ||
Mortgage rates are driven by the bond market and Friday was the least active day of the week for bonds. There were no major economic reports to cause rapid changes in trading levels. As such, mortgage rates started out very close to the levels seen yesterday and most lenders didn"t make any mid-day changes. The absence of any significant mov...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Back Down to Lowest Levels in 2 Weeks | ||
1/16/2025 3:01 PM | ||
After having a great day yesterday, mortgage rates were able to add another "good" day today. The net effect brings the average lender"s top tier 30yr fixed rate back down to levels last seen on January 2nd, exactly 2 weeks ago. Yesterday"s key motivation was the palatable inflation data in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). T...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Drop Back to Last Week"s Levels After Softer Inflation Data | ||
1/15/2025 3:08 PM | ||
We knew that today"s Consumer Price Index (CPI) was a hotly anticipated economic report that at least had the potential to give rates a big push, and it didn"t disappoint. Any time we"re dealing with an important economic report that gives rates a big push, there"s generally an equal chance of getting pushed in either direction. We can know ...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Make a Modest Recovery Ahead of Important Inflation Data | ||
1/14/2025 3:26 PM | ||
Mortgage rates officially hit the highest levels since May 2024 yesterday, even though the average was almost imperceptibly higher than last Friday"s. We saw a similarly small move today, but in the opposite direction. In other words, the average rate moved lower by an amount that won"t even have an impact on many of yesterday"s rate quotes....Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Slightly Higher to Start New Week | ||
1/13/2025 3:15 PM | ||
Mortgage rates rose to the highest levels since May 2024 by the end of last week following a stronger reading on the jobs report. Technically, the same thing happened today, but only because rates inched just a bit higher from Friday"s latest levels. This time around, there wasn"t any big-ticket economic data to motivate movement and the min...Read More | ||

Mortgage Rates Jump Sharply Higher After Jobs Report | ||
1/10/2025 2:57 PM | ||
Mortgage rates were already at 6 month highs earlier this week so it didn"t take much of a push to send them up to new 7 month highs today. The push in question came from today"s hotly-anticipated jobs report. No other economic report has as much consistent potential to cause volatility for interest rates. As such, when today"s job creation ...Read More | ||
