Rates pushed up a bit today—with Conventional and VA both moving up .125%. 📊📈

With no major domestic economic reports dropping until Thursday and Friday's inflation data, the bond market is taking its cues entirely from energy. Oil just broke above $100 a barrel for the first time since July, and that macro pressure is pushing yields and rates right along with it. 🛢️📉

Even with market shifts, you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm here to help with your mortgage needs—so let me! 🚪🔑

Welcome back from a great 3-day holiday weekend! ☀️🏈 I hope you enjoyed the weather and some college football.

Despite the long weekend, rates are holding steady with just minor APR tweaks down (.005% on FHA and .001% on Conventional) as investors locked things in. Meanwhile, global energy markets are keeping an eye on oil as it hovers near $100.

Even with rates higher than they used to be, life keeps moving. I had a past client call today who is sitting on a 3.125% rate, but their life has changed and they're ready to move. If you're in that same boat, I'm here to help you too—let's chat! 🚪🔑

Even with the August jobs report showing more new jobs than expected—and unemployment staying right where it was—mortgage rates stubbornly refused to budge (with just a tiny .005% uptick on FHA APR). 👷‍♂️🤝

Rates are holding steady for the 3rd day in a row! 📊📉
With three key economic reports dropping today—showing solid services growth balanced by a minor tick up in jobless claims and a wider trade deficit—there wasn't enough good or bad news to move the needle. 🛢️🤝

Because of that, today might be a great day to lock in your rate ahead of tomorrow's major unemployment report and potential weekend bumps! 🗓️🏡

Rates are holding steady today! 📈📉

Even with wild energy prices keeping everyone on their toes, today’s ISM Manufacturing report came in slightly softer than expected. That cool-down gave the bond markets just enough breathing room to keep mortgage rates flat.

With a huge lineup of economic reports scheduled for the rest of the week, rate volatility is almost guaranteed. If you've been waiting for a stable moment, today might be a great opportunity to take advantage and lock in your rate! ⏱️

USDA, FHA, and Conventional are all up .125% today while VA has stayed steady! 📈 Between missiles flying in the Middle East over the weekend and Federal Reserve officials emphasizing that inflation remains the central bank’s predominant focus—giving housing professionals little reason to expect rate relief just because the market is struggling—rates have ticked up. 📉 With a heavy lineup of economic reports dropping all week long, nobody has any idea what the trend will do next. 🌪️ But I watch them in real time so I can help you lock in the best rate possible at that time. ⏱️

Rates have stayed the exact same since Tuesday! 📉 As I always say, "IF"—the biggest little word in the world—oil doesn't go bonkers over the weekend and the final vibe coming out of the Jackson Hole Symposium goes well, we could see some rate improvement on Monday ahead of next week's heavy economic reports.

Rates are holding steady today with a slight improvement on the APR for USDA! 📉 Thanks to some smart late-market tracking and repricing yesterday, I was able to lock in a fantastic win for a first-time homebuyer with 20% down and a 796 mid FICO—securing a rate of 6.00% (APR 6.157%) instead of the floating 6.250%, saving them about $60 a month on their payment! 🏠

With today’s economic reports coming in right as expected and stable oil keeping the bond market calm, it's a great reminder of how closely I watch the markets to help my clients time it right.
