Mortgage rates should have improved this week… but they didn’t.

The jobs report showed 92,000 job losses and unemployment rising to 4.4%, which normally helps mortgage rates.

Instead, oil fears are dominating the market and keeping pressure on rates.

At the same time:
• Buyer demand is improving
• Inventory is higher than last year
• Negotiation leverage is shifting back toward buyers

Here’s my full weekly breakdown:

Mortgage Rates Hold Steady After Inflation Report

Today’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) came in slightly lower than expected, a good sign for inflation watchers and generally friendly news for interest rates. But after an initial dip, bonds pulled back a bit, leaving mortgage rates mostly unchanged from yesterday.

The takeaway: inflation progress is happening, but it’s slow and uneven. Still, even small improvements in inflation help keep rate volatility in check.

If you’ve been waiting for a sign that rates are stabilizing before revisiting your mortgage options, this might be it. Let’s review your numbers and see what today’s market means for you.

📉 Mortgage Rates Hover Near 3-Year Lows as the 10-Year Yield Breaks Below 4%!

Another calm day in the rate market—but calm can be good news. Mortgage rates are sitting near 3-year lows with almost no volatility. The 10-year Treasury yield dipping below 4% adds another encouraging signal that we could see continued stability or even improvement ahead.

While much of this week's news cycle was focused on politics, it was business as usual for the bond market and interest rates.

This week saw limited economic data releases, but what did come out was positive for rates. A long-awaited inflation report showed a significant slowdown in inflation. As a result, some economists predict that the central bank might cut rates as early as September. This has generated excitement in the bond markets and is positively impacting mortgage rates.
