Mortgage rates continued to creep higher last week, helped along by rising oil prices and markets pricing in a possible Fed rate hike this month after Fed Chair Warsh's comments in Jackson Hole and stronger-than-expected jobs data.

This week features a focus on inflation, and if it comes in higher than expected it will pressure rates higher. Rates will also be influenced by oil prices, which continue to rise. It looks likely that mortgage rates will continue to creep higher unless something unforeseen happens this week.

โ€ข The Fed: Mortgage rates currently reflect about a 60% chance of a Fed rate hike this month, and if inflation comes in hot, that could increase. Mortgage rates rise ahead of actual Fed rate hikes, so if markets anticipate a hike after this week's data, it will push mortgage rates higher to end the week.
โ€ข Inflation data: Wholesale inflation data comes out on Thursday, with consumer inflation data on Friday. If inflation comes in hotter than expected, it could push mortgage rates up to end the week.
โ€ข Oil: If oil prices continue to rise this week, it will pressure mortgage rates higher.

You can have good credit, solid income, money for closing, and STILL have a government-backed mortgage come to a screeching halt. ๐Ÿ˜ฃ

The reason could be something youโ€™ve probably never even heard of: CAIVRS.

If youโ€™re using a VA, FHA, or USDA loan, this federal database can uncover certain delinquent or defaulted federal debts, and sometimes the issue isnโ€™t discovered until underwriting.

The good news is that A CAIVRS hit doesnโ€™t necessarily mean the end of the road. But it DOES mean we need to figure out whatโ€™s reporting and what needs to happen to resolve it.

I had a CAIVRS hit for a client once where he needed to pay off $10,000 of a student loan. He was able to do that to close the loan. I had another CAIVRS hit for a client who didnโ€™t realize they had a govโ€™t loan in default. Fortunately, we caught it before they went under contract.

This is one of those behind-the-scenes mortgage things buyers rarely know about until it affects them.

๐Ÿก Follow for mortgage tips that help you be better prepared before youโ€™re under contract.

Rates have been pretty stable this month but ended last week near their highest levels. Most borrowers wouldn't see a change in rate, but may see a difference in the credit or points needed to get that rate.

Rates could move higher this week as oil prices rise on increased tensions in the Middle East and markets worry the Fed may hike rates at its next meeting. Any increase may be small, but it's tough to see rates moving much lower from here.

โ€ข The Fed: Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech last week raised concerns that the Fed may hike rates as soon as the next Fed meeting in September to fight stubborn inflation. There is some concern the Fed may hike rates twice before the end of the year, despite upcoming midterm elections.
โ€ข Labor data: Several jobs reports come out this week, with Friday's BLS jobs report being the most important. The report will show how many jobs were created in August as well as the unemployment rate. Weak job numbers could help mortgage rates, while stronger numbers could increase the chances of a Fed rate hike in September.

Just because you COULD possibly qualify for a mortgage doesnโ€™t always mean you SHOULD buy a house right now. ๐Ÿก

Sometimes the best mortgage advice I can give someone is: not yet.

The goal isnโ€™t just to get you approved and get you into a house. Itโ€™s to make sure homeownership puts you in a better financial positionโ€”not a worse one.

Buy when youโ€™re financially prepared to keep it.

If I had a dollar every time someone said Millennials and Gen Z โ€œjust donโ€™t want to workโ€โ€ฆ

I might finally have enough for a down payment.

Buying a home can feel harder today, but that does not mean it is impossible.
The right loan program, a realistic budget, and a good plan can make a big difference.
Not sure where to start? Send me a message and letโ€™s look at your options.

Starting a new job while buying a home? Hereโ€™s what I want you to know. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Please talk to me before you put in your notice. ๐Ÿ˜…

Changing jobs doesnโ€™t automatically mean you canโ€™t buy a home, but the timing matters.

If youโ€™re starting a new job, Iโ€™m going to need to know:

๐Ÿ‘‰ When is your last day at your current job?
๐Ÿ‘‰ When does the new job officially start?
๐Ÿ‘‰ What will your new pay be?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Are there any conditions you still have to complete?
๐Ÿ‘‰ When are we planning to close?

Depending on your loan type, we may also need an offer letter and additional documentation before we can use that new income to qualify.

This is one of those situations where Iโ€™d much rather you call me before making the change than tell me after everything is already in motion. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Changing jobs? Moving money around? Making a big purchase?

When youโ€™re buying a home, keep your loan officer in the loop. A quick conversation can save us both a headache later. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Veterans! Please donโ€™t assume a lower interest rate automatically means a good refinance.

(Also -> see if you can spot the deerโ€ฆ)

My husband recently received a VA IRRRL offer advertising a lower rate. Sounds great, right?

Then I looked at the fine print.

5.56 POINTS๐Ÿ˜ณ

This is exactly why I tell Veterans to look beyond the rate.

VA has rules designed to protect Veterans when refinancing, including limits on what can be financed and a 36-month recoupment requirement for applicable costs. But even if a refinance meets VA guidelines, that doesnโ€™t necessarily mean it makes financial sense for you.

Before you refinance, look at the whole picture:

๐Ÿ‘‰ What will the refinance actually cost you?
๐Ÿ‘‰ How much will you save each month?
๐Ÿ‘‰ How long will it take to break even?
๐Ÿ‘‰ How long do you plan to keep the loan?
๐Ÿ‘‰ Does this actually improve your financial position?

A lower rate is only one piece of the equation.

If you get one of these VA refinance offers in the mail and arenโ€™t sure whether the numbers actually make sense, CALL ME. Iโ€™m happy to help you look at it.

Just be smart with your money.
