Mortgage rates

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

The 30-year fixed mortgage rate moved up for the seventh consecutive week with further increases possible as bond yields rise over concerns about higher inflation.

Refinance mortgages accounted for 45% of mortgage volume, the highest share in a year, according to Ellie Mae.

As inflation fears put upward pressure on 10-year Treasury bonds and mortgage rates nationally, borrowers could start to take more notice of what lenders are charging them locally.

The 2018 spring home buying season could be even more competitive than last year's, marked by fewer listings, quicker sales, and a higher percentage of homes selling above the asking price in January.

The recent bond market volatility will cause mortgage rates to rise to a higher level than previously projected, according to Fannie Mae.

Mortgage rates rose to their highest level in almost four years, as worries over inflation drove the 10-year Treasury yield to just shy of 3%.

Homebuyers are most likely to slow their purchases or stay on course if mortgage rates rise above a certain benchmark, but some could act more quickly or drop out.

Mortgage rates, which are significantly higher since the start of the year, are likely to rise for weeks to come, according to Freddie Mac.

Rising mortgage rates have taken a toll on refinance lending and extended the lifecycle of existing loans. With new purchase originations also making portfolios larger, servicers must take steps to avoid capacity constraints.

Warehouse lines of credit are getting more expensive as short-term interest rates rise, and lenders have limited options for reducing their costs.

Mortgage rates rose for the third consecutive week and with expected continued economic growth, further increases are likely.

Net interest income has surged thanks to rising rates, but noninterest income has lagged as trading revenue has weakened, refi demand has softened and fees from deposit service charges have barely budged. Is this the new normal?

Sales of previously owned homes fell in December for the first time in four months, as the market struggles with record-low supply and rising prices.

Given the improving U.S. economy, mortgage rates will probably not fall back under the 4% mark anytime soon.
