🧩 You have to have all the pieces to see the full picture — especially when it comes to mortgage rates.
A lot of people assume that when the Fed drops rates, mortgage rates automatically follow. But they actually move independently — and sometimes in the opposite direction. That’s because mortgage rates are driven by the bond market and investor sentiment, not directly by the Fed.
So when the Fed recently lowered its rate by 0.25%, mortgage rates actually went up because investors had already priced in a bigger drop. Timing and understanding how these pieces fit together is key to locking in the best rate possible.
