| Mortgage Rates Finally Level Off After Quickest Spike in Months | ||
| 10/8/2024 2:50 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates spiked at their fastest pace in months on Friday following the jobs report and yesterday added insult to injury, making for a total increase of nearly 3/8ths of a percent (.375%) in the average lender"s top tier conventional 30yr fixed rate. Moves of this size are rare, but less so when the market gets a big piece of sur...Read More | ||
| Highest Mortgage Rates in 2 Months | ||
| 10/7/2024 2:24 PM | ||
| It"s been a strange and frustrating couple of weeks for anyone who mistakenly believed that mortgage rates would move lower after the Fed rate cut. To be sure, there is plenty of that sentiment out there according to the just released Fannie Mae sentiment survey showing the highest net percentage of respondents who thought rates would go down...Read More | ||
| Massive Jump in Mortgage Rates After Jobs Report | ||
| 10/4/2024 11:04 AM | ||
| Today"s much-anticipated jobs report ended up coming out much stronger than expected. A stronger result was all but guaranteed to cause carnage (relative) in the mortgage market and that"s definitely what we"re seeing. A caveat is that rates are still much lower than they were several months ago, but the average lender is now back in li...Read More | ||
| Consistently Higher Rates Since Fed Rate Cut, But Friday Could be BIG | ||
| 10/3/2024 3:59 PM | ||
| Depending on how tuned in you"ve been to changes in our daily rate tracking, the news may be getting old at this point. Rates have done almost nothing but move higher ever since the Fed cut rates on September 18th. While this continues to be a challenge for some folks to comprehend, it was always a risk, which is why we spent several weeks wa...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near 1-Month Highs, But That"s Still Pretty Great | ||
| 10/2/2024 2:52 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates moved higher today after an employment report suggested that Friday"s forthcoming Employment Situation (the BIG jobs report) might come in slightly better than expected. The report in question, ADP Employment, is always released 2 days before the big jobs report and it"s designed to align with the key headline of that report: n...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Begin The Month With a Modest Victory | ||
| 10/1/2024 3:04 PM | ||
| While the past 5 months have been well-stocked with victories for mortgage rates, the past week and a half brought a bit of a pull back. Most of that upward momentum can be chalked up to rates rushing to get into position for the Fed"s rate cut on September 18th. It"s actually quite a bit more complicated than that, but thankfully, the ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Moderately Higher to Begin The Week | ||
| 9/30/2024 4:27 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates have generally been moving higher since the Fed cut rates 2 weeks ago. We"ve discussed and explained that paradox exhaustively and can now move back to tracking the normal array of cause and effect in the rate market. The first day of the new week kept the trend of steady rate increases alive. Technically, these are the highes...Read More | ||
| Refi Booms, Loan Limits, and Mortgage Rate Misdirection | ||
| 9/27/2024 4:10 PM | ||
| "Tis the season for things to be something other than what they appear to be, apparently. Lenders are talking about new loan limits, but they haven"t officially changed. News stories are saying rates went lower this week, but they"re higher. And there"s even talk of a big refi boom, but as you may have guessed, that"s also not exactly right. Rate...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Are 110% NOT Lower This Week | ||
| 9/26/2024 2:25 PM | ||
| Because we created the industry"s first daily mortgage rate index based on actual lender rate sheets without any subjective distortions, and because the longest-standing mortgage rate index in the U.S. is a once-a-week survey with plenty subjective distortions and some quirky methodology, we often find ourselves pointing out what"s "real" on many T...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Highest in More Than 2 Weeks | ||
| 9/25/2024 3:14 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates hit their lowest levels in more than a year and a half last Tuesday as the bond market put the finishing touches on its preparation for the Fed announcement the following day. Since then, rates have been drifting mostly higher with each passing day. As of this past Monday, the average lender was at the highest levels since Nov...Read More | ||
