📊 Rate Update Snapshot
Mortgage bonds were steady yesterday with no major news, as markets waited on inflation data. Today delivered good news 📉—inflation came in lower than expected, helping rate sheets start the day a bit better than yesterday.
⚠️ What this means:
We’re bumping up against a key resistance level, and these are likely some of the best rates we’ll see in the near term. If you floated into today, you rolled the dice 🎲—and won. Now’s the time to lock and protect the win 🔒
🏡 Bottom line:
• Short-term & year-end loans: Lock
• Loans with more time: Cautiously float
📞 If you’re under contract or thinking about buying or refinancing, let’s talk strategy and timing so you don’t miss this window.
