| Mortgage Rates Little-Changed After Last Week"s Improvement | ||
| 12/2/2024 3:34 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates remain elevated relative to the levels seen in September and early October, but they"ve definitely moved down a bit from their recent highs. Thanksgiving week saw the lowest daily average rate in exactly a month, but there"s never a guarantee the rate market will look the same on the following week. Thankfully, it"s almos...Read More | ||
| Lowest Mortgage Rates in a Month | ||
| 11/27/2024 1:53 PM | ||
| The interest rate market continues the healing process after taking heavy damage in October. During the course of that month, the average top tier conventional 30yr fixed rate increased more than 0.75% and broke above 7.0% for the first time since early July. The first few days of November saw some additional volatility with our rate in...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Steady to Slightly Higher | ||
| 11/26/2024 1:12 PM | ||
| Although there was a busier calendar of economic data today, mortgage rates are little changed after dropping at the fastest pace in several weeks to start the new week. Economic data is one of the main sources of motivation for the bond market which, in turn, influences day to day changes in mortgage rates. For non-data-related reasons, bonds los...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Near Lowest Levels in a Month | ||
| 11/25/2024 2:32 PM | ||
| Last Monday, mortgage rates were near the highest levels in more than 3 months. A week later, and the average lender is right in line with the lowest levels in more than a month. There are two reasons for this, or rather, one reason and one caveat. The caveat is that the range has been fairly narrow since the end of October. Most...Read More | ||
| A Refreshingly Boring Week For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 11/22/2024 2:01 PM | ||
| Starting in early October, mortgage rates experienced significant volatility, meaning the average day over day change was much bigger than normal. While the term "volatility" technically allows for larger-than-normal moves in either direction, there was a clear winner in this case with rates moving almost a full percent higher. Rates take di...Read More | ||
| Calmer Trend Continues For Mortgage Rates | ||
| 11/21/2024 3:26 PM | ||
| They may not be low. In fact, they may still be a lot higher than you want, but at least they haven"t been too volatility this week. For the 7th day in a row, the top tier, conventional 30yr fixed mortgage rate ended the day in the same narrow range between 7.01% and 7.08% for the average lender. Today"s installment was one of th...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Have Been Much Calmer, But They"re Still High | ||
| 11/20/2024 3:22 PM | ||
| Remember October and the first part of November--not because of the election, but rather because of the relentless rise in mortgage rates? Would you rather forget? You"re not alone. It was the fastest rate spike since 2022, and it was made all the more memorable because it put an end to the first real uptick in refinance activity ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Only Modestly Lower Despite Seemingly Big News | ||
| 11/19/2024 3:27 PM | ||
| Ask your favorite curmudgeonly old market watcher and they"ll be happy to explain what "always" happens in financial markets when there"s breaking news regarding large scale geopolitical risk. It would be a surprise if you didn"t hear a phrase like "flight to safety," the most common shorthand reference to selling stocks and buying bonds. Wh...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Didn"t Move Much Over The Weekend | ||
| 11/18/2024 3:01 PM | ||
| The average top tier conventional 30yr fixed rate was just a hair over 7% on Friday afternoon and the same is true at the start of the new week. Rates are based on bonds, but while bonds move constantly throughout the day, mortgage lenders only adjust rates once per day unless there"s excessive volatility in the bond market. This concep...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates End Higher, But Not As High as This Morning | ||
| 11/15/2024 1:54 PM | ||
| This afternoon"s mortgage rates are higher than yesterday"s latest levels. That"s a result of bond market weakness seen late yesterday and earlier this morning. Why would yesterday"s market movement matter? Simply put, it was too late in the day for many lenders to go to the trouble of adjusting their rate sheets. Bon...Read More | ||
