Mortgage Rates Remained Flat This Week

September 5, 2024 by Barb Duthler

September 5, 2024
Mortgage rates remained flat this week as markets await the release of the highly anticipated August jobs report. Even though rates have come down over the summer, home sales have been lackluster. On the refinance side however, homeowners who bought in recent years are taking advantage of declining mortgage rates in order to lower their monthly payments.

Weekly Market Report

U.S. housing starts fell 6.8% month-over-month and 16.0% year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,238,000 units, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Building permits also declined as of last measure, sliding 4% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1,396,000 units. Analysts say Hurricane Beryl, along with elevated interest rates in July, likely impacted construction activity.

  • New Listings decreased 3.9% to 1,268
  • Pending Sales decreased 9.2% to 845
  • Inventory increased 13.6% to 9,793

The 30-Year Fixed-Rate Mortgage Lingers Just Under 6.5 Percent

August 22, 2024 by Barb Duthler

August 22, 2024
Although mortgage rates have stayed relatively flat over the past couple of weeks, softer incoming economic data suggest rates will gently slope downward through the end of the year. Earlier this month, rates plunged and are now lingering just under 6.5 percent, which has not been enough to motivate potential homebuyers. Rates likely will need to decline another percentage point to generate buyer demand.
