📈 Mortgage Rates Have Been on a Rollercoaster the Last Few Weeks!

Hey everyone! If you’ve been keeping an eye on the market, you know things have gotten wild lately.

Just a few weeks ago, the 30-year fixed rate was hovering right around 6.00%. Fast forward to today and we’re seeing averages climb to 6.25%–6.40% (with daily swings that feel like March Madness). Oil price volatility, geopolitical headlines, and bond market jitters have pushed rates up more than half a point in a short window — the most movement we’ve seen in months.

The silver lining? Rates are still noticeably lower than this time last year, and spring buying season is heating up.

Bottom line: Volatility like this is exactly why timing (and locking) matters. Whether you’re buying, refinancing, or just curious what your options look like, now is the perfect time to get a personalized quote.

Drop me a message or give me a call — I am here to help you navigate the bumps and lock in what works for you.
