To find out if now is the time to buy, check out this week’s mortgage highlights:
- Mortgage rates remained mostly level last week as stimulus talks appeared to stall and economic data continued to tell the same story.
- While most economic data has been coming in positive, we still have a long path for the economy to return to pre-pandemic levels.
- Most experts believe that we need another round of stimulus to keep the economy moving forward, or else we might begin to slip backward. When and in what form that stimulus will come continues to be a great unknown.
- This week is once again likely to see markets focused on politics. The market has remained confident that the next round of stimulus would come soon.
- However, the definition of “soon” seems to be changing by the day. Any signs during this week that point to a surprise compromise could push stocks upward. If that happens, the money will move out of bonds, pushing mortgage rates upward.
- Even if we get good economic data this week, mortgage rates are less likely to move upward by much. If we get poor economic news and more political rancor, rates could even slide slightly downward.
