🏡 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟯𝟭, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟮

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
Mortgage rates improved for the first time in weeks last week, mainly due to market speculation that the Fed would "pivot" - meaning the Fed would ease back on the next few rate hikes and hike in smaller increments, and ultimately stop with rates lower than was previously expected. Mortgage rates react early to expected Fed moves, so this helped mortgage rates to improve for the week.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
The Fed meets this week and will make their policy statement on Wednesday at 2pm ET, with a press conference from Fed Chair Jerome Powell to follow at 2:30pm ET. It is expected the Fed will raise policy rates by .75% at this meeting, but all focus will be on any signals of the next moves at the December and February meetings. If expectations are that the Fed will slow down on rate hikes, that could be good for rates. If not, we could see rates suffer.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: We will get jobs data on Friday, which could cause more rate volatility depending on how the week plays out.
- Overseas Central Banks: The Bank of England will meet on Thursday, and we could see some early morning rate volatility depending on how markets react to their moves.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates moved higher last week, although not by much, as markets continued to prepare for the Fed to raise policy rates at the next few meetings heading into 2023.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗯𝗲 𝘃𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗲 ⚠️
Mortgage rates could make sudden, big moves this week as data comes out on consumer spending and inflation. Traders will be looking for signs on what the Fed will do after next week's meeting, since a .75% fed funds rate hike is already expected. Next week will also be volatile because of the scheduled Fed meeting and press conference, making it a good time to discuss your unique situation with your mortgage professional and deciding if locking a rate would be a good option for you if available.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: This week has quite a bit of data, as well as a few Treasury auctions. Tuesday's consumer confidence data and Thursday's durable goods orders could play a roll in rates for the week, but Friday's PCE inflation report will have the most impact on rates.
- Overseas Central Banks: The European Central Bank meeting is on Thursday and the Bank of Japan's meeting is on Friday. Their moves to curb overseas inflation could affect rates here this week.

Average mortgage rates once again started the week off better before ending the week just slightly higher. Rates at least showed signs of stabilizing last week despite inflation data showing no signs of improvement yet.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 👎
Mortgage rates are not likely to make any significant improvements this week, but could at least hold steady rather than moving higher as we've grown used to seeing each week. Expectations that the Fed will raise policy rates .75% at both the November and December meetings, and .5% at the February meeting make it unlikely rates will fall much from here.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: This week has a few housing reports, including housing starts and existing home sales, which will likely show the housing market has slowed down. However, these reports shouldn't affect rates much this week.
- Overseas markets: Rates have been helped to start the week by new UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt scrapping an economic plan by his predecessor that previously caused global bond markets to falter and pushed U.S. mortgage rates higher a couple of weeks ago. Markets have reacted positively to his moves to reverse course.

But here are a few reasons why now is still a good time to buy a home...

✅ Less competition. That means less bidding wars, and less broken hearts. You have a much better chance of landing the home you want right now.

✅ Prices are stabilizing. We are not seeing the ridiculous over-asking-price offers we did a year ago, but we also aren't seeing home prices drop (generally). If you want to talk more about home prices and if we think they will go down more, reach out to me. I can also connect you to some of the best real estate agents in the area who can help answer this.

✅ You may be able to refinance when rates go down. That means you get your home now at a great price, and lower your payment or rate later. Most economists out there think lower mortgage rates will come back later in 2023.

✅ There are ways to lower your rate now. This one requires a conversation if you want to learn more about your unique situation and what we can do for you.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 👎
Average mortgage rates ended the week higher, despite starting the week off improving slightly. Fed speakers last week reinforced the message that the Fed would continue to raise rates and hold them higher through 2023, and Friday's jobs data showed a strong labor market that is contributing to a resilient economy, all contributing to higher mortgage rates.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates are likely to move higher this week, reacting to consumer and wholesale inflation data coming out midweek, as well as being pushed higher by moves in the bond market. Mortgage rates are heavily influenced by the pricing of mortgage backed securities, which are likely to continue to lose ground this week pushing rates higher. We aren't likely to see rates move lower unless we get a surprisingly weak inflation reading this week, and even then it would be a long shot.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: This week boasts a full economic calendar, and reports that show the economy is not weakening will likely contribute to higher rates.
- The Fed: Minutes from last month's meeting will be released Wednesday, and depending on a reaction could affect mortgage rates this week.

Average mortgage rates moved higher last week, continuing a long trend of rising rates. Rates were volatile through the week as well, moving higher and lower day-to-day as markets reacted to events in England that spilled over into our markets and influenced mortgage rates.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 👍
Mortgage rates starting the week off with some improvement, and we could finally be in a spot to see rates improve for the first time in weeks. However, as with recent weeks, we do have a lot of economic data that could actually cause rates to move higher if it points to higher inflation and larger Fed rate hikes, so it is a good week to stay in close contact with your mortgage professional.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: A busy week for data with a few different reports. Friday's jobs data is the most likely to affect rates though. If jobs data comes in strong, rates will not like that news, because strong employment supports a bigger Fed rate hike in November.
- Fed speakers: Lots of Fed officials speaking this week, which can sometimes move rates around.
- Global economy: Early improvements this week were a reaction to England's announcement to reduce planned tax cuts.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲 👎
Average mortgage rates continued to move higher last week on growing fears that inflation is not slowing down enough and the Fed is going to hike policy rates more aggressively through the end of the year and into 2023.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
Mortgage rates are likely to continue higher this week as markets reset. Traders are sitting on cash, trying to survive the Fed induced storm that is battering stocks and bonds. Rising yields and falling bond prices contribute to higher mortgage rates. Many borrowers are seeing situations where they must pay points to even get a mortgage, and this is because of secondary market conditions and not generally within the control of the mortgage lender right now.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- The Fed: It is now expected the Fed will hike rates higher and hold them there longer.
- Economic data: Tuesday's consumer confidence reading and Friday's PCE inflation report are most likely to affect rates this week.
- Global economy: Fiscal stimulus and tax cuts in Europe have fueled fears of even more inflation overseas, requiring central banks to raise rates more aggressively. The reaction overseas also affects mortgage rates here at home.

Mortgage rates have risen to levels we haven't seen in years...

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱?
Rates have been pushed higher by recent economic data, like last week's inflation report, that is showing the economy isn't cooling off yet despite the Fed raising policy rates since March. Markets are now preparing for the Fed to raise rates even higher through the end of the year and into 2023, in order to quash inflation. Mortgage rates have already started to move higher the last few weeks on the expectations.

𝗦𝗼, 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗴𝗼 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻?
As you can tell from the headlines about stocks, markets are volatile right now. Although it is possible rates could improve, the current forecast is that rates are going to move even higher. We will eventually see rates come down again, but that is only likely when the economy slows down and we could see a recession.

Higher rates are no fun - period. Paying more each month for a home than you thought you would pay is a downer.

HOWEVER...
Higher rates are opening the door to more homes, and it is helping restore balance to the housing market. You can now find homes to purchase that aren't in a bidding frenzy, and borrowers getting a mortgage are not finding as much competition from cash buyers. Less demand means you have a better shot of landing your dream home!

I have some ideas on how to help make your payments more affordable while rates are higher. Contact me today and I'll tell you why now is still a great time to buy a home, and how I can help!

Average mortgage rates got worse last week after consumer inflation data didn't show inflation was going down as fast as markets were speculating. The higher inflation data led markets to price in larger expected Fed rate hikes this month and at future meetings, pushing mortgage rates near the highest levels seen in years.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 👍
The Fed meeting this week is our best shot at seeing mortgage rates improve, although how much rates will go down is still anyone's guess. Rates have moved higher because the economy is not slowing down as much as expected, despite the Fed raising rates since March. Speculation of higher Fed rate hikes heading into 2023 will continue to keep rates at elevated levels.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- The Fed: The Fed meeting this week will conclude on Wednesday with a Fed policy statement that will include a rate hike, currently expected to be .75% by most but may be a full point by some forecasts. Mortgage rates have already priced in the increase and will not move higher on the Fed rate hike, but instead are likely to improve at least slightly. We will also see the Fed's rate forecast heading into 2023, and Fed Chair Powell's press conference.

𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 👍
Last week rates moved almost exactly as we forecasted they would. Average mortgage rates moved higher on Tuesday after the long holiday weekend, matching recent highs, but quickly improved to end the week slightly better as markets adjusted to the idea that the Fed will continue to be aggressive in fighting inflation.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗟𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 👍
Mortgage rates this week are in a position to move lower, but whether they do or not will depend on the inflation data that comes in this week. Tuesday's consumer inflation report is expected to show that inflation has slowed in August after falling slightly in July. If the report comes in as expected, it is likely to help mortgage rates to move at least slightly lower.

🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Inflation data: Tuesday we get the consumer inflation data, and Wednesday we get wholesale inflation data. Signs of easing inflation would help rates improve, but any surprises showing inflation isn't slowing would pressure rates to move higher.
- Europe's economy: Concerns about surging energy costs overseas and the implications on global inflation could be bad for rates here in the U.S.

Average mortgage rates moved higher once again last week, despite improving slightly Friday to end the week. Rates have been creeping higher all through August, and are close to the highs we saw back in June.

𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗴𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲 ⚠️
Mortgage rates are starting the week off higher after markets were closed for Labor Day, and although there are some signs that rates could be close to capping out we could see them get even a little bit worse first. Recent economic data shows the economy is still growing, and rates are not likely to fall significantly until we see more signs of an economic slowdown and coming recession. That may not happen until next week when we get more inflation data, if it shows inflation is easing. This week we may see rates struggle to improve, although lower rates will come back when recession fears take hold.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: There isn't a lot of data this week to affect mortgage rates.
- European Central Bank: The ECB meets this Thursday and is expected to raise policy rates in Europe by as much as .75%. A large rate hike could help mortgage rates here in the U.S. by supporting bond prices globally.
