| Mortgage Rates Hold Almost Perfectly Steady | ||
| 4/22/2025 2:31 PM | ||
| In not so many words, last week"s thesis was that "no news was good news" for mortgage rates. Specifically, an absence of major, unexpected developments on the topic of tariffs and trade helped the underlying bond market retrace some of the recent steps. Those steps resulted in the highest rates in several months and one of the biggest weekly...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Jump Back Toward 7% | ||
| 4/21/2025 3:29 PM | ||
| Last week was a hopeful one for interest rates. The average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate fell more than 0.20% from the previous week"s highs as underlying markets took some solace in the absence of major trade war escalations. Despite the solid improvement, the outright level of rates remained elevated compared to most of the past 2 mon...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Edge Higher Today, But Lower on The Week | ||
| 4/17/2025 1:35 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates managed to make a nice amount of progress this week after hitting the highest levels in roughly 2 months last Friday. The first 2 days of the week brought the most meaningful improvement and it"s been slow going since then. In fact, today ended up going slowly in the other direction with the average lender moving slightly higher in ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Extend Winning Streak as Familiar Pattern Returns | ||
| 4/16/2025 2:29 PM | ||
| As markets digested implications of several fiscal policy changes over the past 2 months, a predictable trading pattern emerged. Stocks and interest rates moved lower together. This isn"t always the way things work, but it is typical during moments where investors are rapidly shedding risk and seeking safer havens. The pattern broke down last week...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Continue Lower Amid Calmer Financial Markets | ||
| 4/15/2025 2:50 PM | ||
| Financial markets experienced relatively extreme volatility on several occasions following the April 2nd tariff announcements. The bonds that underlie mortgage rates were no exception, thus pushing rates higher at one of the fastest weekly paces in years. Things have been calmer so far this week, with the first two days looking more like a t...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Fall Back Below 7% | ||
| 4/14/2025 2:18 PM | ||
| Last Friday was notable in that it was the first day since February 19th where the average top tier 30yr fixed mortgage rate ended the day over 7%. Last week was also notable for ranking among the more abrupt weeks for rising rates over the past few years. Things are getting off to a friendlier start in the present week with the 30yr fixed rate in...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Jump Back Above 7% | ||
| 4/11/2025 3:16 PM | ||
| It has undoubtedly been an extremely volatile week for financial markets and that includes the U.S. bond market to be sure. As an example, the poster child for the U.S. bond market, the 10yr Treasury, saw its biggest week-over-week increase since 1981. As we often discuss, mortgage rates are based on bonds that share many similarities ...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Are Actually MUCH Higher This Week | ||
| 4/10/2025 2:50 PM | ||
| This article is not intended to report on the weekly Freddie Mac rate survey, but we"ll have to reference it in order to participate in reality. To be fair, Freddie"s survey is perfectly real, but it"s unfortunately quite stale. That isn"t always a problem, but it is today. Freddie reports that this week"s mortgage rates fell to 6.62 from 6.64. ...Read More | ||
| Wild Ride For Mortgage Rates, Should Spill Into Tomorrow Too | ||
| 4/9/2025 3:29 PM | ||
| For anyone remotely tuned into financial news, it will come as no surprise that this has been a crazy week and today has been a crazy day. This is just as true for stocks as it is for the bond market that dictates interest rate movement. Overnight, stocks and bonds both deteriorated substantially. When it comes to bonds, that means pri...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Surge to Highest Levels Since February | ||
| 4/8/2025 3:43 PM | ||
| While no one can be sure exactly how things will pan out in the long run, the market is currently expressing extreme disapproval of the new tariff plans. While interest rates had previously benefited from some of the chaos in the stock market, that ship has sailed. Now, both sides of the market are losing ground (stocks lower, rates higher). ...Read More | ||
