Average mortgage rates were slightly higher to end the week, after Friday's jobs data caused mortgage bonds to lose ground. Overall though, rates are still very close to what we've seen the last few weeks.

Average mortgage rates this holiday shortened week are unlikely to improve, and could get slightly worse as the week goes on. Rates are not likely to move much lower from here in the coming weeks, but it is always a good idea to discuss your unique situation with your mortgage professional who can give you the best individual guidance on interest rates.
🗓️ 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸:
- Economic data: Not a lot of data this week, it's unlikely we see much movement in rates due to what is on the economic calendar. Friday morning and Wednesday afternoon has the highest chance of seeing movement due to economic reports.
- Fed stimulus: The Fed continues to buy Treasuries and mortgage bonds, helping keep mortgage rates low.
- Fed tapering: Rates may creep higher if markets speculate that the Fed may begin reducing Treasury and mortgage bond purchases at this month's Fed meeting.
