The Mortgage Reports:
 
Mortgage Rates Mostly Maintain Wednesday"s Strength
2/6/2025 2:20 PM
Yesterday was notable for being the first day in more than a week to offer any excitement for rates.  More notably, that excitement was the good kind.  The average lender moved back under 7.00% for top tier conventional 30yr fixed rates for the first time since December 17th, even if only by a scant 0.01%.   Today"s rates are e...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Finally Make a Move (Lower)
2/5/2025 1:55 PM
The recent absence of volatility in day-to-day mortgage rate movement has been an easy target for light-hearted indignation among market watchers.  But to be fair, if rates had been moving swiftly higher/lower/both, most market watchers would wish for some sideways stability.  In fact, for most prospective borrowers as well as mortgage p...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Score Another Victory Against Excitement
2/4/2025 3:26 PM
If you like your mortgage rate movement boring and minimal, this week"s for you (and last week, and the week before that).  Going all the way back to January 17th, the average lender hasn"t changed their top tier 30yr fixed rate quote by more than 0.05%, and has been operating in an overall range of 0.07%. To get an idea of how narrow that is...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Stay Flat Despite Underlying Market Volatility
2/3/2025 3:10 PM
We know that mortgage rates are driven by financial markets and we know that financial markets have experienced volatility amid the roll-out of new tariffs over the weekend. But rates are starting the current week right in line with Friday"s latest levels (themselves, little-changed from any other day last week).  Part of the paradox is down ...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Round Out Eerily Calm Week
1/31/2025 3:33 PM
For all of the news that seems to be highly likely to cause volatility for rates, the market reaction ended up playing out on a very small scale. The biggest day of movement was Monday, with rates opening moderately lower versus the previous week after the big AI-driven stock sell-off pushed some investors into the bond market (when traders buy mor...Read More
 
Lowest Rates in Over a Month, But There"s a Catch
1/30/2025 3:08 PM
Interest rates are driven by the bond market and bonds are at their best levels in over a month. As such, it"s no surprise that mortgage rates are able to make a similar claim.  In fact, we"d need to go back to December 20th to see a lower average rate for top tier 30yr fixed mortgages. The catch is that today"s rate is so close to yesterday"...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Barely Budge After Fed Announcement
1/29/2025 2:47 PM
Heading into today"s Fed announcement, we didn"t expect to receive any significant surprise on the stance of monetary policy.  Financial markets had long since ruled out the possibility of a rate cut and we knew Powell could only really acknowledge recent progress in inflation data while maintaining that more progress is needed for additional ...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Little Changed Ahead of Fed Meeting
1/28/2025 2:07 PM
The average mortgage lender remained right in line with yesterday"s levels despite a bit of weakness in the bond market.  Lenders who improved their rates yesterday afternoon were slightly higher.  Others were slightly lower.  This is a solid outcome considering the market motivations over the past 2 days.  Specifically, rates ...Read More
 
Mortgage Rates Only Moderately Lower After Tech Rout
1/27/2025 2:47 PM
There are two distinct patterns of behavior when it comes to rates interacting with stocks.  The first could be called the "conventional wisdom" pattern, which holds that investors move money between stocks and bonds, thus creating a correlation between stock prices and rates (as investors buy more bonds, rates move lower). The second pattern...Read More
 
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
