A little choppier to start the week off, but basically in same range over the last few months. Still holding relatively strong.

If there were a movie about mortgage rates, this week would be the part where they say "it's quiet... almost TOO quiet."

The Glass Half full is:

Inventory is picking up

There's still some options in the 5's

There's Grant Money available

There's a rumor of Spring coming. Not sure I'm believing it yet, though.

While the word "regime" is often seen in a geopolitical context, it's also common in financial markets. With respect to rates, the most recent regime involved steady improvement starting in May 2025 and ending 3 weeks ago. Since then, a new regime has been taking over and it kicked into high gear th...

Ok. We're here....again. If you or any of your clients have a rate over 6.50% it's probably a good idea to see if there's an opportunity to save some money where we are. We've been here a number of times in the last 3 years only to have rates tick back up. At the moment we don't see too many catalysts to go much lower from here. Purchase power for buyers is the best it's been in a while and there's thousands to be saved a year in payments. Let's talk.

The bond market drives changes in interest rates. Among bond traders, it's no secret that the Bureau of Labor Statistics' (BLS) jobs report is the most consequential monthly economic data. But this time around, the reaction defied expectations.

We've had some options in the 5's for a while here, but now we have more scenarios that have reached the 5's. Not sure what everyone else was waiting for, LOL. Decent inflation info today. With the decent jobs report on Friday the odds of the Fed cutting is now limited to the end of 2026, so I don't expect much help from them unless the Jobs and inflation data in the next few months moves the needle. So as we speak it's the best time in 2-3 years to either buy a home or refinance your current mortgage. Let's talk. 617-922-6266

This week's potential volatility was supposed to be all about the big jobs report, but an unexpected headline completely stole the show. On Thursday afternoon, Trump announced he would be directing...

New bike or lump of coal tomorrow? Tis the Season. Stay tuned.

December 10th will be the most interesting Fed announcement in more than a year.  It's the first time since mid-2024 where a rate cut (or lack thereof) has not been a foregone conclusion. This me...

The end of October brings the next Fed announcement and it is a 100% certainty that they will be cutting rates again. Many people believe this means lower mortgage rates. Many people are wrong. To ...

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Jeff Anderson by Heather G - Wow, what a seamless experience this was! Jeff truly has my best interests at heart; he knew we wanted to refinance when the time was right, and Jeff not only reached out to us, he made sure we were able to lock in our rate during a very narrow window of time where our rate could drop. 100% will return to Jeff and Bank of Canton for our next transaction.

This past week was a classic placeholder for mortgage rates. With no big-ticket reports on the calendar, volatility stayed about as low as it gets. But even without fireworks, the market quietly added...

So, will history repeat itself after last year's September Fed meeting? Find out on the 17th next month. We'll have another jobs report and inflation reading by then to give more muddy clarity. TBD.

Inflation data was in focus this week, with one major report helping mortgage rates officially hit new 10-month lows before the 2nd report pushed back in the other direction. The biggest repor...

After a few good weeks for interest rates, things hit a bit of a speed bump this week thanks to a stronger-than-expected jobs report. The week started quietly. There was no important economic news ...
