This week we have two major events that will affect mortgage rates... the CPI inflation report and the Fed meeting. It is difficult to forecast how rates will play out this week, but we are hoping to see them drop at least slightly by the end of the week if these two events play out in our favor.

- Economic data: The CPI inflation report comes out on Tuesday morning, and if inflation shows more signs of cooling could help mortgage rates improve. If the data shows lower inflation than expected, that is good for rates, but a reading that shows inflation remains stubbornly persistent will pressure rates higher.
- The Fed meeting: Markets expect the Fed to pause hiking rates at this meeting, and will be listening for signals of what the Fed will do through the rest of the year. The policy and rate statement come out at 2pm Eastern, with Fed Chair Powell's press conference at 2:30pm Eastern. Expect lots of volatility for rates on Wednesday.

Mortgage rates moved lower last week, first on news that a debt ceiling deal was reached, and then on markets returning to pricing in a Fed rate hike pause in June as multiple Fed officials signaled that the Fed was likely to pause hiking to assess the data.

This week has very little in the way of economic data, and Fed officials are now in the official blackout period ahead of the Fed meeting next week so there are no Fed speakers. With little information to work with this week, rates could be choppy but shouldn't move too much higher or lower than where they ended last week. After seeing rates move lower last week though, we could see them creep up a bit this week ahead of next week's big week of action with inflation data and the Fed meeting.

Mortgage rates jumped as the likelihood of a Fed rate hike in June grew. Fed officials have been warning that more hikes may be needed to conquer inflation, and Friday's PCE inflation data came in showing inflation that was higher than expected.

This week saw rates improve on Tuesday on news that a deal was reached to raise the debt ceiling after markets were closed on Monday for Memorial Day. However, there is a lot of economic data this week that could influence mortgage rates, especially Friday's jobs data, and we could see rates become volatile this week.

- Economic data: A lot of data this week, especially around the labor market. We could see rates react each day to different reports, and Friday's jobs data is the most likely to cause big moves depending on how the data comes in.
- Debt ceiling talks: A deal was reached but will not be voted on by Congress until Wednesday. The initial reaction to the news was good for mortgage rates, but wasn't enough to push rates much lower.
- The Fed: Speculation continues to grow that the Fed will raise rates at June's meeting, pushing mortgage rates higher.

The outlook for mortgage rates unexpectedly shifted last week, as Fed members made it clear that they expected to pause rate hiking in June but were leaving the door open for more hikes in the future if needed. A couple of weeks ago markets had been pricing in Fed rate cuts to begin as early as July, but markets now expecting the Fed to hold rates longer. This shift in outlook has pressured mortgage rates to slowly move higher.

With little in the way of economic data and a holiday weekend, it isn't likely we see a change in the current outlook and we could see rates creep slightly higher this week. Rates unlikely to move lower again until the Fed outlook changes.

- Fed speakers: Fed members speaking throughout the week could continue to cause rates to creep higher.

What is the difference? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ‘‰ Getting prequalified is the process of providing a mortgage lender with some background information like your credit, income, and expenses so the lender can help you determine how much you can afford and what you are likely to qualify for.

๐Ÿ‘‰ A preapproval, however, means you've provided the lender with proof of your income and assets and had a credit check to determine exactly how much you can be approved for. In some cases, a preapproval can show you are approved for a loan before making an offer, which makes your offer stronger and could help you win a bidding war.

This week mortgage rates are likely to move slightly day-to-day, but the overall moves for the week are likely to be small. Mortgage rates are in a tight window right now, and will likely stay that way through the end of the month unless something unforeseen or unexpected happens such as the U.S. defaulting on its debt. Although rates are expected to slowly move lower over time, it doesn't look likely we will see any big moves lower this week.

- Economic data: A quiet week for data, reports such as Tuesday's retail sales data will not have a big affect on rates this week.
- Debt ceiling talks: Although concerns of a U.S. default due to not raising the debt ceiling are having some effects on markets, there hasn't been a spillover into mortgage rates yet and likely wouldn't be unless we start to actually default on debt payments.
- Fed speakers: Fed members speaking throughout the week could cause small movements in rates.

Mortgage rates improved slightly last week, with the best rates on Thursday after the Fed meeting before losing a little bit of ground Friday with strong jobs data. All movements were small though, with surprisingly little reaction to the Fed meeting.

This week mortgage rates will react to inflation data, which is currently expected to show inflation continuing to cool, which would then support a Fed rate hike pause in June. Although rates are not likely to come down significantly, we could see at least slightly better rates to end the week if the data goes our way.

- Inflation data: Wednesday brings the CPI consumer inflation report, a key report that could help rates improve if it shows a significant drop in inflation. Thursday brings wholesale inflation, not as important to mortgage rates but still having some effect.
- The Fed: Speculation of future Fed policy rate actions will continue to impact mortgage rates over the next few months. Rates will improve on any news that shows disinflation or a slowing economy, because the Fed will have to start cutting rates later this year or early 2024 if we find ourselves in a recession.

Despite higher mortgage rates, home buying demand remains strong. According to the National Association of Realtors, multiple offers are still occurring on about a third of all listings, and 28% of homes are selling above list price.

In 2008, when the housing market crashed, mortgage standards were at an all time low for credit scores and down payment requirements, as well as proving income and assets to purchase. Current guidelines are much stricter, making the borrowers more financially secure.

Homeowners were pulling out equity back in 2008, causing many to be upside down. This time around equity levels are extremely high, meaning that homeowners could see values decline slightly without concern.

Mortgage rates are likely to start the week of unchanged before becoming volatile on Wednesday with this month's Fed meeting and subsequent policy statement, followed by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's press conference. On Thursday we could see some reaction in our markets to rate increases at the European Central Bank which could influence mortgage rates, and on Friday we get jobs data which could also cause more volatility.

- The Fed: The Fed is expected to raise its policy rate by .25% this meeting, marking the 10th straight increase, which won't affect mortgage rates as markets have already priced in the move. However, markets will be watching for signs that the Fed may be done hiking for now, which could help rates, and will closely follow Fed Chair Powell's press conference following the meeting.
- Economic data: The jobs data coming out on Friday is likely to affect mortgage rates, with signs that the labor market remains strong pressuring rates higher while any signs of weakness will help mortgage rates improve.
