Mortgage Rates for June 28, 2024

Inflation has cooled, but homebuyers still face high prices and rates. After the Fed’s June 12 meeting, policymakers kept interest rates unchanged. Dr. Selma Hepp, chief economist at CoreLogic, notes that the Fed’s higher-for-longer rate stance seems unsustainable as household spending declines and unemployment rises. The timing of the first rate cut remains uncertain, though it could happen this year if disinflation signs persist. For many, buying a home is a personal decision, and it might be wise to accept a higher rate now and refinance later to start building equity.
