Mortgage rates didn't move much today, despite a somewhat decent improvement in bond markets. Overnight, trade war brinksmanship between the US and China had investors seeking the safe haven of bond markets. Excess demand for bonds pushes rates lower...

Mortgage rates didn't move much today. That keeps them in line with some of the highest levels in nearly 7 years, though the same could be said for a majority of the days since mid-April. Rather than talk about where we are and where we've been, the hotter...
