Mortgage Rates for June 10, 2024
The 10-year Treasury yield, which fluctuates with investor appetite, economic conditions, inflation, and Federal Reserve decisions, influences fixed mortgage rates. Following the Fed meeting on May 1, policymakers decided not to cut rates, with the announcement expected on June 12. Dick Lepre of RealFinity notes that markets anticipate only one rate cut for the rest of 2024, with rates staying flat. Despite market trends, buying a home is often based on individual needs. Depending on your situation, it might be wise to accept a higher rate now and refinance later to start building equity rather than waiting for potentially lower home prices.
