Lower Rates!
All we need is more talk about nuclear submarines to get mortgage rates to fall into the 5s and fire up a late-summer rally! When it comes to financial markets and the traders that trade the bonds that move mortgage rates, it was important because it meant the labor...
Lower Rates Soon?
The mortgage rates usually drop before the Fed does their cut - then mortgage rates rise. Buy the rumor and sell the news! If we could just get down to 6.5% it would be a relief. https://www.mortgagenewsdaily.com/markets/mortgage-rates-06232025
Lower Rates Ahead

Flat Higher Rates For Now
