We tell you before you ask.
A weekly, straight-talk briefing on mortgage rates and what's actually moving them — written for veterans, not for Wall Street.
Monday Market Movement
Moderate rate movement expected
Mortgage rates kicked off the week by continuing their upward climb, with the 30-year fixed hitting 6.51% — up 0.15% from last week and 0.28% over the past month. While that's still below last year's levels, the recent momentum suggests borrowers and their agents should pay attention to what's driving this trend.

| 15 Yr. Fixed | 5.85% | — |
The Week Ahead
This week, keep an eye on the 10-year Treasury, which sits at 4.56% and often signals where mortgage rates are headed next. With moderate volatility expected and no major economic releases on the immediate horizon, rates will likely respond to broader market sentiment and any Fed commentary that surfaces. The current upward pressure could continue if Treasury yields climb further, but any cooling in economic data or stock market jitters could provide some relief. For now, the trend favors higher rates, so timing conversations with clients accordingly makes sense.
