Mortgage rates ticked up slightly this week after the latest jobs report came in hotter than expected. That kind of headline tends to push rates up, even though other data earlier in the week pointed to a slower job market.
Still, there’s good news. Rates are holding below 7%, and there are signs that more improvement may be ahead. The way banks value government bonds is changing, and that could help bring mortgage rates down in the coming months.
So while rates are a little higher this week, this could still be a window of opportunity.
Many sellers are offering major incentives to get their homes sold — including tens of thousands of dollars in closing cost credits or interest rate buy-downs. These types of offers can help reduce your upfront costs and lower your monthly payment.
And here's something else to think about: more than half of mortgage applications this year have come from first-time buyers, but only about a quarter of home purchases. That means there are a lot of buyers waiting for the right moment.
If you’ve been thinking about buying, this could be your chance to get ahead of the curve.
