𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗺𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗲𝗿 👎
Mortgage rates continued to creep higher last week, helped along by rising oil prices and markets pricing in a possible Fed rate hike this month after Fed Chair Warsh's comments in Jackson Hole and stronger-than-expected jobs data.

This week features a focus on inflation, and if it comes in higher than expected it will pressure rates higher. Rates will also be influenced by oil prices, which continue to rise. It looks likely that mortgage rates will continue to creep higher unless something unforeseen happens this week.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Fed: Mortgage rates currently reflect about a 60% chance of a Fed rate hike this month, and if inflation comes in hot, that could increase. Mortgage rates rise ahead of actual Fed rate hikes, so if markets anticipate a hike after this week's data, it will push mortgage rates higher to end the week.
• Inflation data: Wholesale inflation data comes out on Thursday, with consumer inflation data on Friday. If inflation comes in hotter than expected, it could push mortgage rates up to end the week.
• Oil: If oil prices continue to rise this week, it will pressure mortgage rates higher.

New 5.0-star Review: "I had an amazing experience working with Rylan Kilgore as my loan officer! From the very beginning, Rylan was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. He made the entire mortgage process feel smooth and straightforward, always kept me informed, and was quick to answer any questions I had along the way. I would absolutely recommend Rylan to anyone looking for a loan officer. Five stars all the way!"

Rates have been pretty stable this month but ended last week near their highest levels. Most borrowers wouldn't see a change in rate, but may see a difference in the credit or points needed to get that rate.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
Rates could move higher this week as oil prices rise on increased tensions in the Middle East and markets worry the Fed may hike rates at its next meeting. Any increase may be small, but it's tough to see rates moving much lower from here.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Fed: Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech last week raised concerns that the Fed may hike rates as soon as the next Fed meeting in September to fight stubborn inflation. There is some concern the Fed may hike rates twice before the end of the year, despite upcoming midterm elections.
• Labor data: Several jobs reports come out this week, with Friday's BLS jobs report being the most important. The report will show how many jobs were created in August as well as the unemployment rate. Weak job numbers could help mortgage rates, while stronger numbers could increase the chances of a Fed rate hike in September.

Starting a new job while buying a home? Here’s what I want you to know. 👇

Please talk to me before you put in your notice. 😅

Changing jobs doesn’t automatically mean you can’t buy a home, but the timing matters.

If you’re starting a new job, I’m going to need to know:

👉 When is your last day at your current job?
👉 When does the new job officially start?
👉 What will your new pay be?
👉 Are there any conditions you still have to complete?
👉 When are we planning to close?

Depending on your loan type, we may also need an offer letter and additional documentation before we can use that new income to qualify.

This is one of those situations where I’d much rather you call me before making the change than tell me after everything is already in motion. 😂

Changing jobs? Moving money around? Making a big purchase?

When you’re buying a home, keep your loan officer in the loop. A quick conversation can save us both a headache later. 🙌

Although mortgage rates crept slightly higher, the move was small and rates really aren't much different from where they've been the last few weeks.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
Rates aren't likely to make any big jumps this week, but could creep a little higher depending on oil prices and the outlook for long term bond yields. If yields rise, mortgage rates will creep higher with them. The most likely way we could see rates surprise us and move lower would be a breakthrough in the Middle East that helps drive oil prices down.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Middle East: There's no end in sight for the impasse with Iran, which means we're unlikely to see an increase in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz that would help bring oil prices down. Elevated oil prices will continue to put upward pressure on mortgage rates.
• The Treasury: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is looking for ways to bring down longer-term bond yields, which could help keep mortgage rates from moving much higher or even help them improve slightly. However, it would take something significant to push bond yields much lower and bring mortgage rates down.

I was truly honored to be invited by my clients (and now new friends) to their Gruha Pravesham just one week after they closed on their new home. 🏡🙏

A Gruha Pravesham is a traditional Hindu housewarming and blessing ceremony performed when entering a new home. It’s a beautiful tradition centered around blessing the home, expressing gratitude, clearing away negative energy, and inviting peace, prosperity, happiness, and positive energy into the space and the lives of those who will call it home.

This was my first time experiencing a ceremony like this, and it was incredibly special to witness.

One of my favorite parts of what I do is that sometimes the relationship goes far beyond simply helping someone get a mortgage (I’ll be honest, this is always my goal 🤣). You get the opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds, experience traditions you may have never encountered before, and occasionally walk away with new friendships.

Sarah and I were genuinely honored that they invited us to be part of such a meaningful moment for their family ❤️

𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗽: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗱 👍
Mortgage rates started the week moving higher, but fell after both consumer and wholesale inflation data for July showed prices moderating across a range of goods and services, reducing the chances that the Fed will hike its policy rate in September.

𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗴𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁: 𝗥𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗻 👎
There's not much economic data that could move rates this week, which will leave markets to follow headlines instead. Although it is unlikely rates will move much lower from here, the good news is that they are also unlikely to make any big jumps this week. However, they could creep slightly higher.

📈 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
• The Middle East: Oil prices remain elevated but continue to hold steady. If Brent crude remains below $90/barrel, that will help keep mortgage rates from moving significantly higher. However, if oil prices increase this week, expect mortgage rates to increase as well.
• The Fed: Markets recently were pricing in the likelihood of a Fed rate hike at the September meeting. Markets are now speculating that a rate hike isn't likely until the December meeting, which has taken some pressure off mortgage rates because they generally price in expected Fed action early.
