| Slow Burn With Little to Blame | ||
| 9/22/2025 2:47 PM | ||
| Slow Burn With Little to Blame Bonds started out sideways and lost a minimal amount of ground very gradually throughout the day. While there were multiple Fed speakers on tap, none of the comments garnered any clear reaction. In terms of timing, the losses only really line up with the start of the 9:30am NY...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Roughly Unchanged to Start New Week | ||
| 9/22/2025 2:12 PM | ||
| After hitting the lowest levels in nearly a year (and nearly the lowest levels in 3 years) last Tuesday, rates lurched higher following Wednesday"s Fed announcement. While the Fed cut rates as expected, and while the Fed"s rate forecasts were well-received, Powell"s guidance pushed back in the other direction. Economic data on Thursday ...Read More | ||
| Deluge of Fed Speakers as Market Waits For Next Week"s Jobs Report | ||
| 9/22/2025 10:11 AM | ||
| Although the present week brings the release of PCE inflation for August, and although PCE is the most relevant inflation data when it comes to assessing progress toward the 2% target, we still wouldn"t consider this a high-consequence data week. Part of the reason is that PCE almost never hits as hard as CPI because it comes out two weeks later an...Read More | ||
| Mortgage Rates Finally Level Off After 2-Day Rout | ||
| 9/19/2025 2:35 PM | ||
| Officially, our daily mortgage rate index is a hair lower today than it was yesterday. Your mileage may vary depending on the lender in question. Reason being: some lenders offered mid-day improvements yesterday, but not enough to impact our index. Those same lenders are generally a hair higher today, but again, the average lender is a hair l...Read More | ||
| Uneventfully Sideways At Modestly Weaker Levels | ||
| 9/19/2025 2:31 PM | ||
| Uneventfully Sideways At Modestly Weaker Levels Friday ended up being the least interesting day of the week although it did manage to offer some hope that the post-Fed selling spree has found a limit. Bonds were just a bit weaker in the overnight session but opening levels were roughly in line with Th...Read More | ||
| Builders Counting on Lower Rates to Break the Traffic Jam | ||
| 9/19/2025 12:49 PM | ||
| Builder confidence levels continued kicking a sad little can down the same long and lonesome road. The September National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) held flat at 32, extending the streak to 17 consecutive months below the key 50 mark that separates expansion from contraction. While the overall inde...Read More | ||
| Big Drop in Building Permits, But Construction Pace is Still Fairly Steady | ||
| 9/19/2025 12:30 PM | ||
| The Census Bureau’s latest Residential Construction report showed a mixed picture for August, highlighted by a sharp drop in building permits. Total housing starts (the groundbreaking phase of construction) fell 2.3% to a 1.398 million annual rate, led by a 3.4% decline in single-family starts to 906k. Multifamily activity eased 1.5% to 464k but co...Read More | ||
| Biggest Jump in Mortgage Applications Since 2021 | ||
| 9/19/2025 11:50 AM | ||
| What a difference a week makes for mortgage application demand. As we noted last week, mortgage rates were already trending lower than those captured in the weekly survey numbers from MBA and Freddie Mac. The expectation was that refinance activity would be surging in this week"s data. That turns out to have been an understatement. For...Read More | ||
| Appraisal, Borrower Mining, Reverse Mortgage Tools; Conv. Conforming News; Rates Creeping Up | ||
| 9/19/2025 10:44 AM | ||
| In China, red symbolizes prosperity, protection, and welcoming energy, and so is a popular front door color for occupants, especially when facing south. Here in the United States (we’re still united, right?) it doesn’t take long before “occupancy fraud” is on everyone’s lips in residential lending. Occupancy is not a partisan issue, right? And pros...Read More | ||
| It"s Not as Bad as it Seems | ||
| 9/19/2025 10:23 AM | ||
| In your defense, perhaps you"re not too bothered or concerned about the market/rate movement since Fed day. But if you are, here"s some perspective. With the exception of the past 2 weeks, 10yr yields are the lowest since April and mortgage rates are the lowest since October. Both are lower than they were the day before this month"s jobs report and...Read More | ||
