This happened for two reasons. The broader, underlying reason is that rates have been in a fairly narrow, stable range and that range was already relatively closer to 10 month lows than 10 month highs.<\/p>\n<p>The more specific reason is quite clearly the market&#8217;s reaction to last week&#8217;s jobs report.\u00a0 In other words, the prevailing range was the fuel and the jobs report was the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Little has changed so far in the present week as far as the underlying bond market is concerned. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mortgagenewsdaily.com\/mortgage-rates\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Mortgage rates<\/a> happened to fall yesterday mostly because they weren&#8217;t able to fully adjust to bond market developments on Friday.\u00a0 To a lesser degree, modest, additional improvement in the bond market left no doubt that lenders could drop rates just a bit more.<\/p>\n<p>Now today, bonds are even more &#8216;unchanged&#8217; than yesterday.\u00a0 Given that yesterday&#8217;s change was also modest, mortgage lenders didn&#8217;t have any catching up to do.\u00a0 Thus, it&#8217;s no surprise to see the average lender effectively right in line with yesterday&#8217;s latest levels. Apart from yesterday (which is technically 0.01% higher), today&#8217;s rates are also the lowest in 10 months.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yesterday saw the average 30yr fixed rate fall back in line with levels from early October, 2024.
