Mortgage Rates Decrease

by

February 6, 2024
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage decreased this week, now averaging 6.89%. Mortgage rates have been stable over the last month and incoming data suggest the economy remains on firm footing. Even though rates are higher compared to last year, the last two weeks of purchase applications are modestly above what was seen a year ago, indicating some latent demand in the market.

Mortgage Rates Show Little Movement

by

January 30, 2024
The 30-year fixed-rate has hovered between 6% and 7% for most of the last two and a half years. That trend continued this week, with the average rate remaining essentially flat at 6.95%. Driven by these higher rates and a persistent supply shortage, affordability hurdles still exist for many homebuyers and a significant number of them remain on the sidelines.
