Lowest Mortgage Rates in More Than a Month
Mortgage rates are currently slightly lower, with today's average rate being the lowest in just over a month.

However, even if the Fed were to cut rates, it may not necessarily translate to lower mortgage rates as they are based on longer-dura... more

The unemployment rate remains relatively steady at 4.2% and the previous month's NFP revision does not indicate significant weakness.
