| Mortgage And Refinance Rates Today, Dec. 16 Posted: 17 Dec 2020 08:28 PM PST [sg_popup id=1920] Today's mortgage and refinance ratesAverage mortgage rates inched lower yesterday, returning to the recent all-time low. They've stayed within a narrow range throughout this month, moving up or down by a single basis point (one-hundredth of one percent) on all but two days. Mortgage rates may well be unchanged or barely changed today, too. But there are a couple of risk factors that could push them higher: a Federal Reserve announcement this afternoon, and any progress toward a pandemic relief package in Washington D.C. Find and lock a low rate (Dec 17th, 2020) Current mortgage and refinance rates
Find and lock a low rate (Dec 17th, 2020) COVID-19 mortgage updates: Mortgage lenders are changing rates and rules due to COVID-19. To see the latest on how coronavirus could impact your home loan, click here. Should you lock a mortgage rate today?If you think the Federal Reserve will, this afternoon, undermine the property market by curbing or ending its purchases of mortgage-backed securities (within its asset purchase program), you should probably lock your rate now. Personally, I doubt that. But, if I'm wrong and it happens, mortgage rates will probably rise — perhaps by a lot and for a long time. If the Fed does nothing, we may well be in for a holiday lull with only inconsequential movements in these rates. And I'm guessing the falls will slightly outweigh the rises. But one exception could be the legislative passage (if any) of a pandemic relief package. That might push them moderately higher for a while. And there's always a chance of some unforeseen event disrupting markets. So floating is always a gamble. See "Are mortgage and refinance rates rising or falling?" (below) for more details. Meanwhile, with my gambler's hat on, my personal rate lock recommendations are:
But with so much uncertainty at the moment, your instincts could easily turn out to be as good as mine — or better. So be guided by your gut and your personal tolerance for risk.
Market data affecting today's mortgage ratesHere's the state of play this morning at about 9:50 a.m. (ET). The data, compared with about the same time yesterday morning, were:
*A change of less than $20 on gold prices or 40 cents on oil ones is a fraction of 1%. So we only count meaningful differences as good or bad for mortgage rates. Caveats about markets and ratesBefore the pandemic and the Federal Reserve's interventions in the mortgage market, you could look at the above figures and make a pretty good guess about what would happen to mortgage rates that day. But that's no longer the case. The Fed is now a huge player and some days can overwhelm investor sentiment. So use markets only as a rough guide. They have to be exceptionally strong (rates are likely to rise) or weak (they could fall) to rely on them. But, with that caveat, so far they're looking quiet for mortgage rates today. Find and lock a low rate (Dec 17th, 2020) Important notes on today's mortgage ratesHere are some things you need to know:
So there's a lot going on here. And nobody can claim to know with certainty what's going to happen to mortgage rates in coming hours, days, weeks or months. Are mortgage and refinance rates rising or falling?TodayI'm expecting mortgage rates to be unchanged or barely changed today. But that assumes the Federal Reserve doesn't halt or reduce its interventions in the mortgage market. If it does, they could rise sharply. They could also rise modestly if the Fed's economic forecasts (also out this afternoon) are rosier than expected. And the other thing that could push rates a bit higher is a political matter. Might Congress move closer to agreeing on a law providing economic relief from the COVID-19 pandemic? Lawmakers don't have had to dot every i and cross every t. They just have to provide a realistic prospect of a deal for mortgage rates to increase a little, probably briefly. But, aside from those, I'm expecting mortgage rates to continue to drift very slowly lower. But some short periods of rises are inevitable as glimmers of good economic news emerge. Why that expectation? The pandemic is continuing to wreak havoc in the American and global economies. And a bad economy almost always means lower mortgage rates. RecentlyOver the last few months, the overall trend for mortgage rates has clearly been downward. And a new, weekly all-time low has been set on 14 occasions so far this year, according to Freddie Mac. The most recent such record occurred on Dec. 3. And, on Dec. 10, Freddie reported, "Mortgage rates remain at record lows." Expert mortgage rate forecastsLooking further ahead, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) each has a team of economists dedicated to monitoring and forecasting what will happen to the economy, the housing sector and mortgage rates. And here are their current rates forecasts for the last quarter of 2020 (Q4/20) and the first three of 2021 (Q1/21, Q2/21 and Q3/21). However, note that Fannie's (released on Dec. 15) and the MBA's (Nov. 17) are updated monthly. But Freddie's are now published quarterly. And its latest was released on Oct. 14. So that's beginning to look stale. The numbers in the table below are for 30-year, fixed-rate mortgages:
So predictions vary considerably. You pays yer money … And another forecastOn Dec. 2, the National Association of Realtors threw its hat into the forecasting ring. It said:
Find your lowest rate todaySome lenders have been spooked by the pandemic. And they're restricting their offerings to just the most vanilla-flavored mortgages and refinances. But others remain brave. And you can still probably find the cash-out refinance, investment mortgage or jumbo loan you want. You just have to shop around more widely. But, of course, you should be comparison shopping widely, no matter what sort of mortgage you want. As federal regulator the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says:
Verify your new rate (Dec 17th, 2020)
Mortgage rate methodologyThe Mortgage Reports receives rates based on selected criteria from multiple lending partners each day. We arrive at an average rate and APR for each loan type to display in our chart. Because we average an array of rates, it gives you a better idea of what you might find in the marketplace. Furthermore, we average rates for the same loan types. For example, FHA fixed with FHA fixed. The end result is a good snapshot of daily rates and how they change over time.
