Mortgage Rates for June 4, 2024

At the start of the year, experts anticipated multiple rate cuts in 2024, but that has changed. Fixed mortgage rates align with the 10-year Treasury yield, influenced by the economy, inflation, and Federal Reserve decisions. On May 1, the Fed decided not to cut rates, with the next update due June 12. According to Dick Lepre of RealFinity, markets now expect only one rate cut for the rest of 2024, with rates staying flat. Buying a home often depends on personal needs, and it might be sensible to accept a higher rate now and refinance later to start building equity rather than waiting for potentially better rates and home prices.
