Even with wild energy prices keeping everyone on their toes, todayโ€™s ISM Manufacturing report came in slightly softer than expected. That cool-down gave the bond markets just enough breathing room to keep mortgage rates flat.

With a huge lineup of economic reports scheduled for the rest of the week, rate volatility is almost guaranteed. If you've been waiting for a stable moment, today might be a great opportunity to take advantage and lock in your rate! โฑ๏ธ

USDA, FHA, and Conventional are all up .125% today while VA has stayed steady! ๐Ÿ“ˆ Between missiles flying in the Middle East over the weekend and Federal Reserve officials emphasizing that inflation remains the central bankโ€™s predominant focusโ€”giving housing professionals little reason to expect rate relief just because the market is strugglingโ€”rates have ticked up. ๐Ÿ“‰ With a heavy lineup of economic reports dropping all week long, nobody has any idea what the trend will do next. ๐ŸŒช๏ธ But I watch them in real time so I can help you lock in the best rate possible at that time. โฑ๏ธ

Rates are holding steady today with a slight improvement on the APR for USDA! ๐Ÿ“‰ Thanks to some smart late-market tracking and repricing yesterday, I was able to lock in a fantastic win for a first-time homebuyer with 20% down and a 796 mid FICOโ€”securing a rate of 6.00% (APR 6.157%) instead of the floating 6.250%, saving them about $60 a month on their payment! ๐Ÿ

Markets are holding their ground, which means steady pricing across the board today. It's also been so fun seeing all the back-to-school photos popping up everywhere! Reach out if you're looking at homes or want to map out your financing strategy this season.
