C.A.R. Market Minute
Mortgage rates began to reverse in the middle of last week, with the average 30-year fixed rate mortgage dropping back to the lowest levels in nearly two weeks. With the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge showing signs of cooling and the revised Q1 GDP suggesting a dial back in consumer spending, the bond market responded “favorably” to the cues and pushed rates down by more than 20 bps in eight business days. The moderation in rates in the last two weeks should motivate more buyers and sellers to enter the market and bump the momentum up a notch in the midst of the homebuying season.
