What this means: Day-to-day rate fluctuations are common, and 10-year purchase rates have gone up or down every day this week. With rates for this shorter term dropping to 2.250% today, homebuyers who can swing a higher monthly payment could maximize their savings by locking in a rate for this term while it’s still low. Rates across all terms are unlikely to go lower, as mortgage experts have predicted further increases at the end of this year and into next year.
