Why do mortgage rates stay elevated when everyone is begging them to chill? 😅
Inflation might be one of the biggest reasons.
When inflation rises, money loses purchasing power. Investors may then demand higher returns to offset that loss.
Higher returns can mean higher bond yields, and higher bond yields can mean higher mortgage rates.
That’s why an inflation headline is not just background noise for homebuyers. The mortgage market may be watching it very closely. 👀
