  • S2025 Ep241: Wait… Good News Is Bad for Mortgage Rates?
    Feb 26 2026

    Strong jobs.
    Cooling inflation.
    Stocks rallying.

    So why aren’t mortgage rates falling?

    In this video, we break down why a healthy economy actually reduces the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate cuts — and how that directly impacts mortgage rates.

    We’ll cover:

    • What the latest Jobs report signals
    • Why inflation cooling isn’t the same as inflation collapsing
    • How the 10-Year Treasury is reacting
    • Why “no recession” = no emergency rate cuts
    • What this means for homebuyers waiting on 5% rates

    The bond market doesn’t move on headlines — it moves on expectations.

    If the economy remains stable, mortgage rates may not drop the way many are hoping.

    Let’s walk through the data.

  • S2025 Ep239: Mortgage Rates Hit 5.99% — Fed Says No Cuts Coming
    Feb 24 2026

    Mortgage rates just dropped to 5.99% — the lowest level in nearly three years.

    HOME.COM Article
    https://www.homes.com/news/daily-mortgage-rates-dip-to-5-99/1356105419/

    But here’s the twist:

    The Federal Reserve says no rate cuts are coming because inflation is still too high.

    President Donald Trump is calling for rate cuts.

    Inflation remains sticky.
    Tariffs are creating uncertainty.
    The Supreme Court just struck down major trade policy.
    The jobs market is sending mixed signals.
    Bond markets are reacting.

    So how are mortgage rates falling without a Fed cut?

    In this episode, we break down:
    • Why mortgage rates follow the bond market — not the Fed Funds Rate
    • What’s happening with the 10-Year Treasury
    • How inflation expectations are driving mortgage pricing
    • Whether 5.99% can last
    • What this means for buyers, refinancers, and homeowners

    This is the disconnect nobody is explaining clearly.

    Every day, we pull real pricing from 30+ lenders and show you exactly what you qualify for — plus lock vs. float guidance tied to CPI, Jobs, MBS & the 10-Year Treasury.
