11/12/2026 2:17 PM
Thursdays are frequently "fun" in the world of mortgage rate reporting because that"s when Freddie Mac releases its weekly rate survey.

Mortgage Rate Sharply Higher After Inflation Data
11/10/2026 1:27 PM
Rates enjoyed a remarkably calm winning streak over the past month with the worst single day resulting in a 0.06% increase for a top tier 30yr fixed loan and the average day seeing a 0.02% decline.

11/10/2026 11:01 AM
“I found a 95 year old painting in my attic. I asked him to leave.” Humor aside, many people have been asked to leave places like Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Go Mortgage, Onity, and others.
