Mortgage Rates for June 5, 2024

The outlook for mortgage rates has shifted. Fixed mortgage rates track the 10-year Treasury yield, which fluctuates with the economy, inflation, and Federal Reserve decisions. On May 1, the Fed chose not to cut rates, with the announcement scheduled for June 12. According to Dick Lepre of RealFinity, markets expect only one rate cut in 2024, with rates remaining stable. Buying a home often depends on personal needs, and it might be wise to accept a higher rate now and refinance later to start building equity rather than hoping for lower rates and more affordable home prices.

All rate data is accurate as of June 5, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. ET.
