Rates won the week. 🏈

Mortgage rates had one of their best weeks in months. The 30-year fixed averaged around 7.37% as of Friday, down about 0.11% on the week, per Mortgage News Daily. Even with hotter inflation numbers, rates still finished lower.

What it means for buyers:
• Rates eased from their recent highs
• Sellers are pricing more competitively as buyers get selective
• New listings are down 5.1% from last year, so the right home may not wait long

This week, housing data on Tuesday and business activity reports on Friday could set the tone.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and homebuyers are a top target.

Scammers pose as lenders, title companies or agents and send "updated" wiring instructions right before closing. Once the money is gone, it's very hard to get back.

Protect your closing funds:
• Always verify wiring instructions by phone, using a number you already have
• Treat any last-minute change as a red flag
• Never wire money based on an email or text alone
• If something feels off, stop and call us first

Rates finally caught a break. ☀️

The 30-year fixed averaged around 7.48% as of Friday, down about 0.09% on the week and at its lowest level in two weeks, per Mortgage News Daily. Thursday brought the biggest one-day drop in three months.

Meanwhile, buyers keep gaining ground:
- Homes for sale are up 6.7% from a year ago, the fastest growth since February
- With new-home demand cooling, some builders may be offering more incentives

This week, inflation reports on Wednesday and Thursday could decide whether the relief sticks.
