You hear about the bond market all the time…but what does it actually have to do with YOUR mortgage?
A bond is essentially an IOU — governments and companies borrow money from investors and pay them interest in return, and those bond yields help influence how lenders price fixed mortgage rates.
When bond yields rise, fixed mortgage rates can follow — and with the movement we’re seeing right now, now is the time to talk to us about locking in or protecting a rate if you have a purchase, renewal or refinance coming up.
At Browne Mortgage, we watch the bond market so you don’t have to — our job is to understand what’s happening behind the scenes and help you make your move before the market makes it for you.
