From Listreports & Mortgage News Daily: Last weeks prevailing mortgage rate momentum seen as "broadly sideways," and while that's still very true in the bigger picture, words like "up" and "higher" might need to be sprinkled in this week.
Bonds (which drive rates) care about big-ticket economic data and the jobs report is one of the biggest tickets. If there's a worthy competitor at the moment, it's this week's Consumer Price Index (CPI)--an inflation report that may or may not show the onset of tariff-driven inflation.
Bottom line: if inflation does NOT show up in a big way in this week's CPI, the market could move fairly quickly to price in expectations for a lower Fed Funds Rate. THAT'S the thing that actually correlates with mortgage rates moving lower (as opposed to the official Fed rate cut that typically ends up being the end of a book that the market has already read).

🚨 NJ Lifts 2% Tax Cap for 281 Underfunded School Districts 🏫💰

In a major shift, Monmouth & Ocean County school districts are among the 281 across NJ now allowed to raise property taxes beyond the 2% cap — all to avoid deep cuts to staff, programs, and services.

📉 What caused the shortfall?
– Cuts to state aid from 2018’s S2 law
– Rising costs in special ed, transportation, school safety & changes in demographics
– Loss of federal COVID relief funding

🎓 Towns like Middletown, Lacey, and Toms River are at a crossroads:
Raise taxes — or risk losing key teachers, sports, arts, and support services.

🤔 Would you support a tax hike to preserve school quality?
