| Mortgage Rates Slightly Higher to Start New Week | ||
| 3/24/2025 2:41 PM | ||
| The average mortgage lender raised rates modestly on Monday morning--a logical move considering the weakness in the bond market over the weekend. Rates are based directly on bonds. Bond "weakness" means investors are paying less for bonds which, in turn, means that yields (aka "rates") are effectively higher. Investor demand for bonds ...Read More | ||
| Weaker Start as Stock Market Recovery Continues | ||
| 3/24/2025 11:26 AM | ||
| Bonds are starting the week in weaker shape. If you had to reduce that movement to one motivation, it would be the "risk-on" vibes following more news of tariff exclusions over the weekend. The trading playbook dictates that stocks should rally and bonds should sell on that sort of news, and that"s exactly what we saw. Bonds were st...Read More | ||

| “A government survey has shown that 91 percent of illegal immigrants come to this country so that they can see their own doctor.” On a more serious note, a Clever survey of real estate agents found that average commission rates have fallen 0.17 percent since 2023, to 5.32 percent, which is the lowest average in the past five years. Although commiss...Read More | ||

| Small Scale Weakness Leaves Bigger Picture Unchanged Bonds began the day in stronger territory after tracing a risk-off move in the overnight session.

| Highest Existing Home Sales in a Year | ||
| 3/21/2025 3:04 PM | ||
| As is the case with a majority of housing and mortgage market data these days, the Existing Home Sales data from NAR is heavily dependent on context. To be sure, the headline is true. You"d have to go back to report that came out in February, 2024 to see a higher annual pace of sales. (NOTE: the table above contains initially-reported numbers.&n...Read More | ||
| Refi Demand Remains Elevated, But Off Recent Highs | ||

| The Mortgage Bankers Association conducts a weekly survey on the level of mortgage applications, both for purchases and refinances. Both data series continue to be a tale of two decidedly different eras for the mortgage market. If we focus on the present era, for a moment, refi demand continued to enjoy a relative boom thanks to rates ...Read More | ||

| The National Association of Homebuilders/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (aka "builder confidence") hasn"t been in a purgatory of sorts, ever since the big interest rate spike in the 2nd half of 2022. Builders aren"t nearly as downbeat as they were during the Great Financial Crisis years, but nowhere remotely as confident as the during the p...Read More | ||

| 3/21/2025 1:44 PM | ||
| In terms of the market movement that underlies and dictates mortgage rate movement, today looked a lot like yesterday. Things started strong and faded gently as the day progressed. There were no notable economic reports or news events apart from a White House press conference where Trump said there will be "flexibility on tariffs." Tar...Read More | ||
