What Could Move Mortgage Rates This Week?

It's a busy week for economic data, and several reports could influence where mortgage rates head next.

Here's what I'm watching:

Tuesday: Consumer Confidence & New Home Sales

Wednesday: Q2 GDP + Personal Income & Spending, including the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, PCE

Thursday: Durable Goods Orders

Friday: Fed Chair Kevin Warsh speaks at Jackson Hole — potentially the biggest market-moving event of the week.

So what does this mean for mortgage rates?

Stronger economic data or hotter-than-expected inflation could put upward pressure on rates. Softer data and signs that inflation is continuing to cool could help push rates lower.

The bottom line: expect some potential volatility this week. Mortgage rates don't move solely because the Fed changes its overnight rate—they are heavily influenced by the bond market and expectations for future inflation and economic growth.

If you're buying or refinancing, don't try to time the market perfectly. Let's look at the numbers and your options based on where rates are when you're ready.

Have a great week!

So, do you believe the old Tahoe local tale?

The legend says that if the snow in Mt. Tallac’s famous cross melts completely before the next snowfall, we’re in for a BIG winter.

Happy Monday!

A new week means new opportunities—

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect time to buy, refinance, or make a move, remember:

You don’t have to predict the market. You just need to understand your options.

Rates, inventory, negotiating power, down payment programs and loan programs can all make a difference in what’s possible.
Have a goal for 2026? Let’s talk about what it would take to make it happen.

Be aware!
Condo Financing Rules Changing

Earlier this week, new condominium financing and insurance requirements from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac took effect. These require lenders to inspect more than the unit itself; they're also required to take a close look at the entire building's maintenance standards and financial standing. Fannie and Freddie also retired their Limited and Streamlined condo financing reviews.

These and other changes are intended to protect condo buyers by reducing their chances of moving into a building with structural problems. It also aims to reduce rising HOA dues and unexpected special assessments.

However, some groups expect these changes to slow down the loan underwriting and approval process for many buyers, especially condominium purchases that previously qualified for Limited or Streamlined Review.

A spokesperson for the Mortgage Bankers Association commented that slower lending approvals will depend on individual projects, the availability of required documentation and how readily this documentation can be provided.

If you're curious about condo financing options, please contact me and let’s discuss!
