| Mortgage Rates Only Modestly Lower Despite Bond Market Improvement | ||
| 11/12/2025 2:15 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates are based on bond market movement and bonds are much stronger today compared to Monday. Although bonds were closed yesterday for the Veterans Day holiday, there was an important piece of economic data that suggested lower rates today. The data in question was the new weekly payroll count from ADP. Whereas October"s monthly data (whi...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Edge Higher But Remain in November Range | ||
| 11/10/2025 2:39 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates went into the weekend with a small cushion thanks to movement in the bond market on Friday. Specifically, bonds improved after mortgage rates came out for the day. If the improvement had been sharper, mortgage lenders likely would have made a mid-day adjustment to slightly lower levels. The implication was that rates would have been ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Rise Gently, But Still Well Below This Week"s Highs | ||
| 11/7/2025 1:24 PM | ||
| Wednesday"s mortgage rates were the highest in roughly a month and very close to the highest levels in 2 months. This followed stronger economic data on that same morning. Rates moved back down yesterday after separate econ data told a different story. Now on Friday, it"s a mixed bag. The underlying bond market was slightly weaker to start ...Read More | ||
| Nice Little Recovery For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 11/6/2025 3:29 PM | ||
| As of yesterday afternoon, mortgage rates were right in line with the highest levels in more than a month. The upward momentum was largely a product of 2 specific days: the October 29th Fed announcement and yesterday"s duo of economic reports that suggested less cause for concern over the labor market and strength of the services sector. Now today...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near 2-Month Highs After Today"s Econ Data | ||
| 11/5/2025 3:08 PM | ||
| A common recent refrain is that the bond market (which dictates interest rates) is having to make do without many of the most important regularly-scheduled economic reports due to the government shutdown. While this means rates must "fly blind" on many of the days that would normally coincide with these government economic reports, there are other ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Hold Steady Near Recent Highs | ||
| 11/4/2025 3:33 PM | ||
| The average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate was technically 0.01% higher than yesterday, but that"s the smallest possible detected move. It"s just as fair to say rates held steady today. While it"s always nice to avoid a more serious rate spike on any given day, by holding flat, rates are remaining in line with their highest levels in just...Read More | ||
| Highest Rates in Just Over 3 Weeks | ||
| 11/3/2025 2:32 PM | ||
| Up until last week"s Fed announcement, the average 30yr fixed mortgage rate was at the lowest levels in more than a year (in many cases, matching the same lows seen on September 16th--the day before the previous Fed announcement). Although these past 2 post-Fed episodes have resulted in somewhat volatile bounces, rates are still far closer to long...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Recover Some of This Week"s Lost Ground | ||
| 10/31/2025 2:43 PM | ||
| After hitting the highest level in several weeks on Thursday, mortgage rates managed to move moderately lower on Friday. Counterpoint: Friday"s rates are still the 2nd highest of the past 2 weeks and still meaningfully higher than last Friday"s (6.28% vs 6.19% in terms of MND"s rate index). The improvement makes it clear that lenders were setting ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Are Anything But Lower This Week | ||
| 10/30/2025 2:42 PM | ||
| Every now and then, a Thursday comes along where we have to set the record straight on what is actually going on with mortgage rates. That"s because Freddie Mac releases its weekly mortgage rate survey on Thursdays and its methodology can cause confusion in the mortgage market. This particular Thursday is an especially treacherous minefield ...Read More | ||
| 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 | ||
