Fed Cut Backfires? Rates Up, Apps Soar
📉 Mortgage Rates at Yearly Lows… Then Higher After the Fed Cut
Last week brought a big twist:
-
Mortgage rates dipped to yearly lows early in the week.
-
The Fed cut its policy rate by 0.25%… but the average 30-year fixed actually went up afterward. 📈
-
Why? Mortgage rates track the bond market, not the Fed directly. Powell’s comments and stronger economic data pushed rates higher.
⚡ Here’s the catch: borrowers who moved fast jumped in while rates were low—driving the biggest surge in mortgage applications since 2021. That means competition is already heating up.
👉 If you wait, you’ll be shopping in a market where more buyers and refinancers are already active. Timing can make a big difference in your rate, your payment, and even the house you get.
💬 Don’t sit on the sidelines—opportunities move fast. Let’s talk today about locking in your options before the window gets tighter.
