Version 0.71 (2024-05-04 10:52:22.571000)
updates: Mortgage rates have dropped slightly after the release of data showing that the labor market cooled more than expected in April 2024. The US economy added 175,000 jobs in April, below the forecast and March's growth, causing the unemployment rate to tick up to 3.9%. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that if there is unexpected weakening in the labor market, it could push Fed officials to consider lowering rates. Investors are currently betting that the first Fed rate cut will come in September. Mortgage rates are expected to trend down once the Fed starts cutting the federal funds rate. However, it will require a sustained uptick in the unemployment rate over several months to prompt a rate cut. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate is currently 6.97%, down from 7.12% last week. The average 20-year fixed mortgage rate is 6.62%, and the average 15-year fixed mortgage rate is 6.24%. The average 7/1 adjustable mortgage rate is 7.54%, and the average 5/1 ARM rate is 7.49%. The average 30-year FHA interest rate is 6.01%, and the average 30-year VA mortgage rate is 6.21%. In terms of refinancing rates, the average 30-year fixed refinance rate is 7.36%, the average 20-year fixed refinance rate is 6.69%, the average 15-year fixed refinance rate is 6.42%, the average 7/1 ARM refinance rate is 8.42%, and the average 5/1 ARM refinance rate is 8.21%.

Version 0.48 (2024-02-28 02:18:23.357000)
updates: Realtor.com advises homebuyers not to wait for lower mortgage rates and to buy a home when financially ready. Lower rates will bring more buyers into the market, causing competition to surge. Mortgage rates have been gradually declining since peaking at nearly 8% in October 2023. Realtor.com sees rates gradually declining, though possibly in a volatile manner. Lower mortgage rates won't lead to a massive price drop, as falling rates bring back homebuyers en masse, causing competition over the few homes available for sale. Homebuyers will likely have to go above the asking price and put in multiple offers to land a home. Supply is unlikely to see considerable improvement as many current homeowners hold a mortgage rate below 5% and are unwilling to sell. Buying now can help avoid the competitive landscape and risks such as overpaying or waiving a home inspection.

updates: Mortgage rates in the US have fallen to their lowest level since May, with the average for a 30-year fixed loan at 6.61%, down from 6.67% the previous week. The decline in rates is expected to fuel demand for home purchases in the coming months, but listings remain scarce and prices are still high. The Federal Reserve has indicated that it may consider a rate cut in the new year if inflation cooperates, which would further ease the burden for house hunters. However, a measure of contracts to buy previously owned homes held at a record low in November.

updates: Mortgage rates in the US have fallen below 7% for the first time in four months, providing some relief to the housing market. The average rate for a 30-year fixed loan is now 6.95%, down from 7.03% last week. This decline follows seven consecutive weeks of easing borrowing costs, bringing rates down from a high of 7.79% in late October. The lower rates are expected to attract buyers who were previously deterred by high interest costs. However, the housing market still faces challenges due to a lack of properties for sale. The Federal Reserve's forecast of rate cuts next year is likely to gradually improve the housing market in the new year. Despite the decline in mortgage rates, the frustrations of high home prices and limited selection are expected to persist.
