Mortgage rates didnโ€™t move much last week, but dipped just low enough to generate headlines about reaching their best levels since 2022. Despite the media attention, rates really only moved slightly lower for the week.

Rates ended last week looking like they might be ready to move lower, but military action in the Middle East over the weekend quickly changed the mood. Rates are starting this week higher and potentially more volatile. While theyโ€™re not in danger of jumping sharply, itโ€™s a good idea to stay in touch with your mortgage professional and keep an eye on how things develop.

- Economic data: This week has quite a few important reports, most notably Friday's BLS jobs report, including unemployment figures. Economic data will still play a role but may be less important depending on how things play out in the Middle East.
- Military action in Iran: The situation in Iran has pushed up oil prices, along with speculation that prices could move significantly higher from here. That has sparked fresh concerns about inflation and has pushed up bond yields, which have pressured mortgage rates higher.

If youโ€™re going to quit one thing in 2026... quit waiting for โ€œperfectโ€ rates.

Yes, rates go down.
Yes, they go up.
Yes, they change.

But they usually donโ€™t drop to the magic number everyone is hoping for.

I watch whatโ€™s happening in the market all the time. If thereโ€™s a big shift, I know. Thatโ€™s part of my job.

But hereโ€™s what most people forget:

๐Ÿ‘‰ The interest rate is only ONE part of the mortgage.

Thereโ€™s also:

โ€ข How you structure the loan
โ€ข Whether you can refinance later
โ€ข Your long-term plans

You donโ€™t win by trying to perfectly time the market.
You win when the numbers make sense for you and your life.

If youโ€™re curious about where rates are, where they might be headed, and if you could be saving thousands right now, send me a message.

We can take a look at it together.

Rates are not likely to make any significant improvement from here unless something unexpected occurs. With little in the way of economic data or other fundamental events to help improve mortgage bond prices, the basis for mortgage rates, it is unlikely we see rates move much lower. On the flip side, it is also unlikely that rates will creep higher. Any moves we do see this week should be small.

- Economic data: There are only a couple of weekly labor reports on the calendar this week, along with wholesale inflation data on Friday. None of these are likely to have much effect on mortgage rates.
- The Fed: Normally the outlook for potential Fed rate cuts plays a role in mortgage rates, but markets are currently not expecting a rate cut until June at the earliest, and even that is only a coin-flip proposition according to markets.

Rent can feel cheaper right now, but rent usually goes up.

A mortgage payment stays steadier.

Each payment builds equity, and your home may go up in value.

Owning has repairs.
Renting has rent hikes, moving, and no control.

In 30 years you can own a home.
In 30 years of renting, you donโ€™t.

Mortgage rates moved slightly lower this week, helped along by inflation that fell to a nearly five-year low. Rates were surprisingly unaffected by the jobs data, which came in showing a more resilient labor market than expected.

Rates could continue to make some small gains this week if economic data comes in showing a cooler economy and if the current momentum continues that has helped bond yields fall.

- Fed minutes: Minutes from the Fed's last meeting will be released this week, but shouldn't cause any concerns among investors that would affect mortgage rates.

๐Ÿก Looking at homes without a pre-approval is like trying to run a race without being signed up.

You can still tour homes.
You can still like a house.
But when itโ€™s time to make an offer, other buyers are already prepared.

Getting pre-approved helps you move faster when it matters.
Sellers tend to take these offers more seriously.
And you avoid last-minute surprises.

It doesnโ€™t change the market.
It just helps you be ready when the right home shows up.

If you want to talk about getting pre-approved, feel free to reach out.

- Labor market data: Last weekโ€™s BLS jobs report was delayed until this Wednesday, which could give mortgage rates a chance to improve. Markets reacted strongly to last weekโ€™s data, so if this report shows weakness, rates could once again improve, although we aren't likely to see a big drop in rates.
- Inflation data: Consumer inflation data will be released on Friday, and any sign that inflation is continuing to fall could help rates improve. Although it is possible inflation may not drop much, it is unlikely that it will move higher, which could pressure rates.

Donโ€™t let ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต getting pre-approved cost you your dream home.

Why does being pre-approved matter? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ‘‰ A pre-approval means youโ€™ve already shared your income, assets, and credit with a lender to determine exactly how much you could qualify for.
In many cases, this can make your offer stronger and help you stand out in a competitive situation.

On the other handโ€ฆ
If you fall in love with a home without being pre-approved beforehand, youโ€™re often several steps behind another buyer, and sellers may not take your offer as seriously.

Ready to start the process and get pre-approved?
Give me a call or send me a message. Iโ€™m happy to work with you to figure out what you could qualify for based on your situation and where you are in the home buying process.

The conversation is completely free, my goal is to help you make the best move when the time is right. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿ‘

The market is always moving, and waiting for the โ€œperfect timeโ€ can quietly turn into missing a really good one.

Rates have been easing lately, and honestly, a lot of people havenโ€™t even noticed yet.

If buying has been on your mind, this doesnโ€™t have to be a big, scary decision. It can start as a simple conversation.

You donโ€™t have to time the market. You just have to be ready when the moment feels right. If you want to potentially save big or take the first step. Now would be the time. Send me an email or a message, and let's talk.

Mortgage rates jumped last week as markets reacted to two big developments. First, a bond selloff in Japan spilled into global bond markets. Second, rising geopolitical tensions driven by talk of the U.S. taking over Greenland and possible tariffs on European allies added more pressure. While tensions eased somewhat later in the week after a framework for a deal was announced, mortgage rates improved but remained elevated.

Although rates are higher than the recent lowest levels of the year, they remain lower than at almost any point last year. Thatโ€™s likely to remain the case this week, although there could be some volatility following this weekโ€™s Fed meeting and press conference.

- The Fed: The Fed wraps up its meeting on Wednesday, and no policy rate changes are expected. The bigger question is what Fed Chair Powell says afterward, since his comments often cause rates to move as markets try to figure out what could come next.
- Economic data: Thereโ€™s some data coming out this week that could move rates a little, but nothing that should cause concern about higher rates or meaningfully push rates lower.
