Mortgage rates moved higher today , reversing the improvement seen last Friday. The average lender is now back in line with their highest levels of the past few weeks, although that statement requires some qualification. During that time, mortgage rates...

Mortgage rates caught a break to end a week that was otherwise spent moving higher. Although we did see a bit of improvement in underlying bond markets yesterday, lenders were still getting rate sheets caught up with Wednesday afternoon's bond market...

Mortgage rates didn't move at all, again today. There really hasn't been any meaningful movement for more than 3 weeks. The same thing happened from late June through mid July. And if we broaden our definition of "sideways" just a bit, we can legitimately...

Mortgage rates were just slightly higher again today, keeping them in line with the highest levels in about 3 weeks. The same caveat applies: we're talking about "effective rates" (which factor in upfront lender costs) as opposed to "note rates" (the...

Mortgage rates rose again today--this time more noticeably than yesterday--bringing them to the highest levels in more than 2 weeks. For most, however, that sounds a lot worse than it actually is. In fact, the interest rate at the top of a loan quote...

Mortgage rates moved higher for some lenders and lower for others, depending on how that particular lender adjusted their rate sheets on Friday afternoon. While the bonds that underlie mortgage rates are moving constantly throughout the day, lenders want...

Mortgage rates began the day slightly higher . In fact, for several lenders, it was the biggest day-over-day move higher in more than 2 weeks. The key word here is "was." Things quickly changed in the mid-morning hours after Fed Chair Jerome Powell delivered...

Mortgage rates have been more or less unchanged since August 10th . That's an impressively boring streak even by summertime standards. Why does summertime matter? Simply put, rates are ultimately a factor of trading that's conducted directly or indirectly...

Mortgage rates haven't really moved for 9 straight business days. Some lenders have seen microscopic improvements during that time, but the average lender is still quoting the same rates and fees seen on August 13th. The underlying bond market is part...

Mortgage rates were generally unchanged again today although several lenders were in just slightly better territory. That makes this the 8th straight business day with almost no change in mortgage rates. During that time, underlying bond markets have...

Mortgage rates were almost perfectly unchanged again today, meaning they haven't really changed in more than a week. All this despite a rather noticeable improvement in underlying bond markets (something that typically goes hand in hand with lower mortgage...

Mortgage rates were almost perfectly unchanged today. That leaves them right in line with last Friday's levels. I devoted a considerable number of words in yesterday's article to explaining why most other articles about mortgage rates were inaccurate...

Be careful what you read--or perhaps, who you trust--about mortgage rates today. There's a lot of misinformation out there. Don't be mad. No one is out to get you. No one is out to intentionally deceive you (at least not when it comes to today's mortgage...
