| Mortgage And Refinance Rates Today, Dec. 7 Posted: 08 Dec 2020 04:45 AM PST Today's mortgage and refinance ratesAverage mortgage rates inched higher last Friday. And conventional loans started out this morning at 3.063% (3.063% APR) for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage. Early trading on other markets suggests today may be an OK day for mortgage rates. But things could easily turn worse for them. Because any increased hope of agreements over a stimulus package or the avoidance of a government shutdown on Friday could push those rates higher.

Find and lock a low rate (Dec 8th, 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?Nothing's changed in the medium term. And I'm hopeful we'll continue to see modest falls in mortgage rates outweighing occasional rises for months to come. But that may not be the case in the short term. And we may see mortgage rates rise — perhaps today, but more likely in coming days. So you certainly should take care if you're near to closing. Indeed, you might want to take advantage of current uberlow rates, regardless of your closing date. See "Are mortgage and refinance rates rising or falling?" (below) for more details. Meanwhile, 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 last Friday 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 a bit better for mortgage rates today. However, there's a good chance that won't last. Find and lock a low rate (Dec 8th, 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?TodayRight now, I'm expecting an OK day for mortgage rates. But that depends on any news from Capitol Hill over negotiations for both a new pandemic stimulus package and the averting of a government shutdown starting Friday evening. If either materializes, we may see a rise in those rates. Indeed, the biggest threat to mortgage rates this week is the possibility of a stimulus package passing Congress and being signed by the president. And we don't have to wait for that to actually happen. Just rising hopes of such a passage can be enough to see those rates climb. You should also be aware of another threat further down the road. There's a possibility of the Federal Reserve curbing or ending its purchases of mortgage-backed securities. And that could see a fast and sustained rise in these rates. The Fed will announce its decision on Dec. 16. And I personally expect no change. But some others think it a real possibility. So take note of it. I believe these are mostly short-term threats. And that the economic damage being wreaked by the pandemic will keep mortgage rates generally low for many months to come. But we might see those rates nudging higher this week. RecentlyOver the last few months, the overall trend for mortgage rates has clearly been downward. And a new all-time low was set during each of the weeks ending Oct. 15 and 22, Nov. 5 and 19 and Dec. 3, according to Freddie Mac. Indeed, there have been 14 such weekly records so far this year. However, note that Freddie's figures relate to purchase mortgages alone and ignore refinances. And if you average out across both, rates have been consistently higher than the all-time low since a record set in early August, though they're very close indeed now. The gap between the two has been widened by a controversial regulatory change. 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). But note that Fannie's (released on Nov. 17) and the MBA's (also Nov. 17) are updated monthly. However, Freddie's are now published quarterly. And its latest was released on Oct. 14. 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 8th, 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
