Weekly Mortgage Rates Ease Downward as Lenders Anticipate Fed Cuts

In July, mortgage rates saw a downward trend that continued into the first week of August. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.6%, a decrease of nine basis points from the previous week’s average, as reported by Zillow to BW. This drop in rates is attributed to the anticipation of the Federal Reserve transitioning into a rate-cutting phase. Lenders have responded by softening rates, resulting in the lowest weekly average for the 30-year fixed rate since early February.

Despite expectations, the Federal Reserve decided to keep the federal funds rate steady at its most recent meeting. However, there is optimism that a rate-cutting cycle will begin at the next meeting in September. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell hinted at the possibility of rate cuts in the near future, although no decisions have been made yet.

Looking ahead, a potential rate cut in September may not have an immediate impact on the market. Even if mortgage rates were to decrease, it may not be a significant change. It is suggested that prospective home buyers focus on improving their financial standing, such as boosting their credit score or lowering their debt-to-income ratio, to secure the best possible mortgage rate. Instead of waiting for lower rates, taking proactive steps to strengthen your mortgage candidacy could be more beneficial in the long run.
