Mortgage Minute

Mortgage rates have held steady since last Friday, despite key inflation data and a Retail Sales report this week. Bonds even improved slightly today, but not enough to move rates meaningfully—averages are only shifting 0.01–0.02%. The next major scheduled market mover will be the jobs report in early August, though unexpected headlines could still create volatility.

Why a Newly Built Home Might Be the Move Right Now

Are you looking for better home prices, or even a lower mortgage rate? You might find both in one place: a newly built home. While many buyers are overlooking new construction, it could be your best opportunity in today’s market. Here’s why.

There are more brand-new homes available right now than there were even just a few months ago. According to the most recent data from the Census and the National Association of Realtors (NAR), roughly 1 in 5 homes for sale right now is new construction. So, if you’re not looking at newly built homes, you’re missing out on a big portion of what’s available.

And with more new homes on the market, builders are motivated to sell their current inventory. As a result, many are taking steps to draw in buyers.
