Mortgage rates started the week by moving higher but rebounded to end the week slightly lower on average. Rates were helped by falling oil prices, and although inflation posted its largest annual increase in three years, markets expect inflation to ease now that a deal is in place with Iran.

A full slate of labor market data this week could affect expectations for future Fed policy rate hikes. With all of the reports packed into a holiday-shortened week, mortgage rates could see larger-than-normal day-to-day swings as markets react to the data.

โ€ข Independence Day: Markets (and most lenders) will close early on Thursday and will be closed Friday for the Independence Day holiday.
โ€ข Economic data: A number of labor market reports will be released Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Depending on what the data shows about the strength of the labor market and how markets react, we could see volatility in mortgage rates this week.
โ€ข The Fed: If markets view stronger labor data as a sign the Fed is more likely to hike rates in July or September, it could put upward pressure on mortgage rates.

Most homebuyers don't know this:

The day you close on your house can change how much money you need to bring to closing.

For example, let's say you close on August 3.

You may need a little more money upfront because you're paying interest for more days before your first mortgage payment starts.

Now, let's say you close on August 27.

You may need a little less money upfront because there are fewer days left in the month.

That doesn't mean a later closing date is always better.

You still have to think about the seller's timeline, your moving plans, and making sure everything is ready to close on time.

The big takeaway:

Don't pick a closing date without asking questions.

Ask your mortgage pro how that date affects your cash to close.

Even a few days can make a difference when you're already paying for a down payment, closing costs, movers, furniture, and everything else that comes with buying a home.

For the first time in months, the conflict with Iran is no longer the biggest influence on mortgage rates. Markets are now focused on inflation concerns and the likelihood of Fed rate hikes. That could put upward pressure on mortgage rates, keeping them near current levels or pushing them higher.

โ€ข The Fed: Last week's meeting included forecasts from many Fed officials that policy rates may need to move higher this year, with some members expecting more than one hike. New Fed Chair Kevin Warsh surprised markets by emphasizing the Fed's commitment to bringing inflation back to its 2% target rather than focusing on rate cuts. Mortgage rates are already pricing in the possibility of a Fed rate hike.
โ€ข Economic data: Thursday brings the Fed's preferred inflation measure, the PCE report, and Friday brings consumer sentiment data. Both could play a role in mortgage rates this week.

Crazy how many people still think they need 20% down to buy a house.

I talk to people all the time who are waiting to save a huge amount of money before they even start the home-buying process.

Depending on your situation, there may be options available that require much less money down than most people realize.

Some programs may allow little down, and in certain situations, there may even be options with no down payment at all.

Thatโ€™s why I always tell people:

The key is that it depends on your loan type, finances, goals, and the programs available to you. Donโ€™t decide youโ€™re not ready before talking to a lender.

A quick conversation can help you understand your options and what buying a home could actually look like for you. Before you spend years trying to reach a savings goal that may not even apply to you, find out where you really stand.

You might be a lot closer than you think. Send me a message or reach out if you have any questions.

Rates started last week a little higher but ended lower after reports surfaced that a peace deal with Iran was close and could possibly be signed over the weekend. Even though both consumer and wholesale inflation continued to rise, markets largely expected those increases, so mortgage rates showed little reaction.

With a peace agreement now in place and the Strait of Hormuz expected to fully reopen, oil prices have fallen and mortgage rates could continue to improve. The biggest test this week comes Wednesday when new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh holds his first Fed meeting and press conference.

โ€ข The Middle East: The peace agreement is expected to be formally signed Friday, and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz should help bring oil prices lower. That would ease inflation concerns and help mortgage rates improve over coming weeks.
โ€ข The Fed: Wednesday's Fed meeting could create some volatility in mortgage rates, especially during and after Chair Warsh's press conference as markets assess the Fed's outlook for future rate policy.
โ€ข Juneteenth: Markets and many mortgage companies will be closed on Friday.

This is normal, right?

You find the perfect house online.
You schedule a showing.
You fall in love.

Then you start looking for a mortgage.

The problem?

โŒ You might find out the house costs more than you can afford.

โŒ You could miss out on loan programs or down payment assistance that could save you thousands.

โŒ You may not know what monthly payment actually fits your budget.

โŒ And while you're figuring all that out, another buyer who's already pre-approved may submit an offer first.

Getting pre-approved before you start house hunting doesn't mean you're committing to buy a home.

It simply helps you with:
โœ”๏ธ How much home can you afford
โœ”๏ธ Have more people take you seriously
โœ”๏ธ How much money can you save

The best first step in buying a home isn't finding a house.

It's finding out what you can buy before you start shopping.
Reach out to me or send me a message if you want to start looking around or have any questions.

Rates moved higher last week, with the biggest moves coming on Friday in reaction to much stronger than expected jobs data. The jobs report smashed expectations, with more than twice as many new jobs created as forecast. The strong labor market makes it even more likely that the Fed will raise its policy rate this year to fight inflation.

After last week's early headlines that Iran could be pulling out of peace talks proved to be inaccurate, there was still no meaningful progress toward a deal.
