Volatility came back this week. Here's what actually happened.
Monday opened with a small improvement, but rates were already sitting at their highest levels since last May.
By Tuesday, global inflation fears and rising oil sent yields higher again. Wednesday gave back a little ground. Friday closed flat, but consumer sentiment dropped to its lowest reading in months and the Iran conflict is still the wild card hanging over everything.
The takeaway: weeks like this are why timing matters. If you're shopping right now, knowing your numbers before you write an offer is what keeps you in control when the market moves.
