That last assertion is at odds with some of the mortgage rate media coverage you may encounter today, but there&#8217;s a logical reason.<\/p>\n<p>Freddie Mac releases its weekly mortgage rate survey every Thursday. It consists of an average of the rates from each of the previous 5 business days (Thursday through Wednesday). Thus, by the time it is reported, it is a fairly stale indication of rate movement if there&#8217;s been any reasonable amount of volatility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In the case of the current week, Monday and Tuesday saw rates move meaningfully higher from last week. Even after yesterday&#8217;s recovery, the average lender is still slightly higher than any day last week apart from Monday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As always, keep in mind that consistent daily coverage of mortgage rates mean that qualitative words like &#8220;higher and lower&#8221; may sound more serious than they are. For context, rates haven&#8217;t drifted outside a 0.25% range for the past 3 months. Over the past 2 weeks, the range has been half that.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Today&#8217;s mortgage rates a just a hair higher than yesterday&#8217;s and although yesterday&#8217;s rates were reasonably close to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":331211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[28,101],"class_list":{"0":"post-331210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-economy","8":"tag-business","9":"tag-economy"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=331210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/331210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/331211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=331210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=331210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=331210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
