Mortgage rates

Employment in the nonbank mortgage lender and brokerage sector is falling in the face of rising interest rates and the limited supply of homes for sale.

Mortgage rates increased for the ninth consecutive week, moving in reaction to bond and stock market volatility.

Consumer confidence in the housing market fell in February, with fewer Americans sharing positive thoughts on mortgage rates, home buying and home prices, according to Fannie Mae.

The number of mortgage borrowers with an interest rate incentive to refinance fell 40% during the first six weeks of the year and now sits at the lowest level in more than nine years.

As housing demand continues outpacing supply, tight inventory is plaguing potential buyers and putting upward pressure on home prices. Here's a look at the housing markets where supply is shrinking the most.

The new Federal Reserve Board chairman's testimony in Congress was the driver of this week's mortgage rate increase, according to Freddie Mac.

A gauge of contracts to purchase previously owned homes unexpectedly declined in January to a more than three-year low, reflecting a shortage of inventories and rising mortgage rates.

Despite growth in both mortgage rates and home prices, housing demand kicked off 2018 with its strongest January on record, according to Redfin.

Sales of new homes unexpectedly fell in January to the lowest level since August as borrowing costs rose and winter weather depressed demand.

Low home inventory continues to put upward pressure on home prices, but affordability strains may be overstated, according to First American Financial Corp.
