| 11/25/2025 4:08 PM | ||
| Best Closing Levels in Nearly a Month Bonds improved only moderately on Tuesday in a move that"s just as easily chalked up to random holiday-week volatility as any of the day"s data/events. If we"re determined to give credit to particulars, we can cite things like the 13.5k decline in weekly ADP payro...Read More | ||
| Lowest Mortgage Rates Since 10/28 And Very Close to 3-Year Lows | ||
| 11/25/2025 3:04 PM | ||
| Mortgage rates moved nicely lower on Tuesday with the average lender very close to the 2025 lows seen in late October. These levels are effectively right in line with the lowest since late 2022. If today"s drop seems abrupt, that"s because it is. In fact, it"s a bigger drop than the underlying bond market justifies. There"s a reason for this and w...Read More | ||

| Both the FHFA and the S&P/Cotality Case-Shiller home-price indices released new data this week. The message remains consistent: home prices are still higher than a year ago, but the pace of appreciation continues to slow. FHFA’s national index shows prices up 1.7% year-over-year and flat 0.0% month-over-month in September after August was ...Read More | ||

| Want better affordability? Lower house prices certainly helps, and this article states that more than half of homes in the United States have fallen in price in the last year.

| 10yr Flirting With 4.0%, But Not Because of Data | ||
| 11/25/2025 7:53 AM | ||
| ADP"s weekly employment report showed another contraction at -13.5k, but unlike last week, no one seems to care. We also got the delayed release of Retail Sales with a notably weak -0.1 vs 0.3 control group, and backlogged PPI that was just a hair cooler than expected. There too, zero bond market reaction. Thanksgiving week trading vibes are in ful...Read More | ||

| Mortgage Rates Slightly Lower to Start Holiday-Shortened Week | ||
| 11/24/2025 3:15 PM | ||
| Thanksgiving weeks can be weird for mortgage rates. This has to do with the fact that rates are dictated by the bond market and the bond market depends on real live people who can actually be out of the office on holiday weeks. The lighter levels of participation can increase volatility and cause random movement for no apparent reason. We"ll cross...Read More | ||

Someone"s going to lose a mobile home.” (My father’s family is from there, so I can use that one.) Mobile homes are one segment of the manufactured home biz, and at the other end of the scale there are ...Read More | ||
