Mortgage Rates Decrease

February 6, 2025 by Dennis Holmquist

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

January 30, 2025 by Dennis Holmquist

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.

Mortgage Rates Surpass Seven Percent

January 16, 2025 by Dennis Holmquist

January 16, 2024
Mortgage rates ticked up for the fifth consecutive week and crossed seven percent for the first time since May of 2024. The underlying strength of the economy is contributing to this increase in rates. Despite rising rates, Freddie Mac research highlights that consumers can save money if they shop for several different lender quotes.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Trend Up

January 9, 2025 by Dennis Holmquist

January 9, 2024
In the first full week of the new year, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage remained elevated at just under 7 percent. The continued strength of the economy has put upward pressure on mortgage rates, and along with high home prices, continues to impact housing affordability. The lack of entry-level supply also remains an issue, especially for those looking to become first-time homeowners.

Mortgage Rates Reach Highest Point Since July

January 2, 2025 by Dennis Holmquist

January 2, 2024
Inching up to just shy of seven percent, mortgage rates reached their highest point in nearly six months. Compared to this time last year, rates are elevated and the market’s affordability headwinds persist. However, buyers appear to be more inclined to get off the sidelines as pending home sales rise.

Mortgage Rates Continue to Rise

December 26, 2024 by Dennis Holmquist

December 26, 2024
Mortgage rates increased for the second straight week, rebounding after a decline from earlier this month. While a slight improvement in new and existing home sales is encouraging, the market remains plagued by an overwhelming undersupply of homes. A strong economy can help build momentum heading into the new year and potentially boost purchase activity.
