National averages only. Not a commitment to lend.
Just wanna know what time it is?
I made the first minute or so of this video just for you.

Rates feel stuck…
But they’re not.
They’re being pulled in 3 directions:
• Oil → inflation up
• Housing → inflation down
• Jobs → next big move
This week could shift everything 👇
https://t.co/bT4NfDA4Zm
Mortgage rates feel stuck… but pressure is building.
-Oil over $100
-Jobs still strong
-Inflation not gone
👉 That’s why rates aren’t moving much… yet.

Do you think rates go LOWER first… or HIGHER first?
Rates are stuck…
But not for long.
We’re in a classic setup:
↓ Inflation cooling
↓ Labor starting to soften
↑ Oil & geopolitics pushing back
When this breaks… it could move FAST.

Inflation is up.
Oil prices are rising.
So why aren’t mortgage rates spiking?
Because not all inflation is the same.

Opportunity window? 👀

Mortgage rates are being pulled in 3 directions right now:

War headlines are loud.
Oil spikes → inflation fears → bond selloff → rates move.
We’ve seen it in 2020, 2023 & 2025.
If oil normalizes in 10–12 days, bonds could improve fast.
If inflation sticks, rates may stall.
Strategy beats headlines.
#MortgageRates#BondMarket
Bonds are compressed at resistance.
Inflation is uneven.
GDP slowed to 1.4%.
When bonds break levels like this, mortgage rates can move fast.
30-yr national avg ~6.04%.
If you’re 6.75%+ → we should talk strategy.

#MortgageRates
Inflation eased to 2.4%.
Labor is softening beneath the headline.
Bonds pressing resistance.
Mortgage rates may have room to improve.
You can refinance a rate.
You can’t refinance a purchase price.
