 Chart from The Wall Street Journal showing mortgage rates dropping in tandem with 10-year Treasury yields. Hi All, According to today's (9 August 2019) Wall Street Journal: "Falling bond yields have pushed mortgage rates to their lowest level in nearly three years, spurring a rush by homeowners to refinance." "The rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 3.6%, Freddie Mac said yesterday [8 August 2019], compared with nearly 5% in November 2018. Mortgage rates are closely linked to yields on 10-year Treasury notes, which Wednesday fell to 1.675%, the lowest since October 2016. "Low interest rates often boost the homebuying market, but worries about the economy—telegraphed by the low rates—may hold purchasers back." Source: The Wall Street Journal By the way, it might be a good time to refinance your mortgage. Best, Dan |
