Average mortgage rates were slightly higher last week in a move that wasn't totally unexpected after seeing rates improve the previous couple of weeks. Rates are still significantly better than they were almost a month ago after hitting the highest levels seen since 2008.

This week mortgage rates will be most likely to move on Wednesday after the release of consumer inflation data. Last month this inflation data caused rates to skyrocket higher as inflation readings came in stronger than expected and markets panicked. It is possible we could see another strong reaction this month, depending on the data, but it is less risky that we will see rates jump this time because markets are already expecting larger Fed rate hikes at this month's meeting.

- Inflation: This week brings consumer and wholesale inflation reports, and if inflation is higher than expected it could cause mortgage rates to worsen. However, if inflation shows signs of improving, it could help rates.
- Recession concerns: Fears that we are headed into a global recession continue to plague markets, and as fears increase it could help mortgage rates to move lower.

With mortgage rates rising to levels not seen since 2008 while moving up and down week to week, this question is more important than ever.

If you're considering buying a home, this is probably one of the first questions you'll ask. And while a mortgage calculator can give you a rough estimate, it can't tell you what interest rate you'll qualify for or provide you with the range of options that may be available.

๐Ÿ’ฐ๐Ÿ’ต Finding an accurate number for how much house you'll qualify for, AND what you can comfortably afford, can be made much easier with guidance from a mortgage professional like me. I can help you understand what you qualify for, discuss what kind of payment you're comfortable with, compare loan programs, and then help you get a low rate while making the whole process convenient.

Average mortgage rates last week were slightly worse to begin the week, but turned the corner midweek and continued to improve to end the week slightly better after hitting the worst levels of the year a few weeks ago. Last week's improvements were mainly due to concerns that the economy will go into a recession caused by the Fed's aggressive rate hikes to bring down inflation.

Average mortgage rates this week a bit tougher to forecast, because the direction will hinge on how markets react to the Fed's minutes from last month's meeting as well as jobs data later in the week. After improving quite a bit the last couple of weeks, we may see rates pause for awhile before improving further. Whichever direction things go, we aren't likely to see significant improvement or worsening this week.

Average mortgage rates improved slightly last week, coming down from the highest levels seen since 2008 but not yet returning to the same range of rates seen a few weeks ago. The improvement in rates was driven by recession fears, as markets are now more afraid of a recession than of inflation. Investors are concerned that aggressive Fed rate hikes anticipated by the end of the year to fight inflation will push the economy into a recession.

Average mortgage rates may worsen a bit to start the week, but will likely improve as the week goes on to basically end the week about the same as we start it. Recently mortgage rates were driven higher by fears of inflation, but now fears of recession are helping them come down again. Markets will close early on Friday for the long Independence Day weekend and will be closed on Monday, as are most mortgage lenders.

Rates moved higher last week, with the highest rates coming Monday and Tuesday before the Fed meeting on Wednesday as markets reacted to the previous week's inflation data. The Fed raised the fed funds rate by 0.75%, a significant increase meant to fight inflation, which actually helped mortgage rates improve from the highest levels seen since 2008.

Markets will reopen Tuesday after observing Juneteenth and mortgage rates this week could continue to be volatile, moving up and down significantly as markets come to terms with the current economic picture. However, there is a pretty good chance that rates could improve on the week, at least slightly, now that rates have adjusted for the expectations of more aggressive Fed rate hikes to come in July and September. That said, we aren't yet in a position to expect rates to fall too far from here.

The short answer is that last Friday's inflation data sent markets spiraling, because inflation still shows no signs of slowing down. Inflation is bad for rates, and the reaction by markets pushed mortgage rates shooting higher Friday, only to continue higher on Monday and Tuesday as markets prepared for a larger Fed policy rate hike this week.

The Fed did indeed raise rates more than originally forecast today, by .75%. It is important to realize though that this rate increase was for the Fed's policy rate, the fed funds rate. This was not a direct increase to mortgage rates, which the Fed doesn't control and which had already increased in expectations of this move by the Fed.

The good news is that when the Fed raised rates this week, mortgage rates actually IMPROVED. That is because the markets had already priced the move in, and investors are happy to see the Fed is aggressively acting to bring down inflation. Although we have seen extreme volatility in rates, we could see rates continue to improve as we end the week.

Rates moved quite a bit higher last week, as investors rushed to price in more aggressive Fed rate hikes after Friday's inflation data came in hotter than expected. Since mortgage rates are based on the pricing of mortgage bonds and not on the Fed funds rate, we see the resulting higher rates now as markets react and not when the Fed actually raises rates.

Mortgage rates this week are likely to be volatile as investors react to the news coming from the Fed at this week's Fed meeting. Markets try to price in Fed moves before they happen, and this caused mortgage rates to move sharply. If the Fed calms investors' fears, we could actually see rates improve this week. However, if investors are concerned the Fed will have to raise rates faster to curb inflation, we could see mortgage rates react negatively to the news and move higher.

After a couple of weeks of improving, mortgage rates moved higher again last week after the holiday weekend. The move higher confirms concerns that we were likely testing the best rates we have seen in awhile, and that rates might move higher.

Average mortgage rates could move higher again this week, ahead of next week's Fed meeting. Oil prices, already near a 3-month high, adding to concerns that inflation isn't ready to move lower yet. Although rates are creeping higher, there is an expectation they will fall back again and we are not yet at risk of seeing rates move significantly higher like we did earlier in the year. Unfortunately though rates will likely move higher before falling back again.

- Fed speakers: Actually not affecting rates this week, speakers are in a blackout period before next week's meeting.

The good news is that average mortgage rates improved slightly last week, with many lenders able to lock in rates that we haven't seen since April. The bad news is that the underlying markets used to set mortgage rates showed signs that we probably were not going to see much further improvement from here.

Average mortgage rates are likely to move slightly higher this week, but shouldn't be at risk of rising too quickly or too significantly. If you are closing soon and considering locking, you may want to discuss it with your mortgage professional to see if it is a good time to lock in a rate. For those unable to lock in a rate yet, there is no need to panic, but you may want to prepare for slightly higher rates this week.

- Economic data: A full slate of data, including Friday's jobs data which could have an effect on rates.
- Bond market: Mortgage rates fluctuate based on the performance of mortgage bonds, with rates improving when bonds improve. However, mortgage bonds are poised to lose value this week, and could contribute to rates creeping slightly higher for the week.
