Looking for a low mortgage interest rate? Pay attention to these 3 June dates

Summary

Mortgage interest rates have recently risen due to economic factors, affecting homebuyers and those refinancing. In June, three key dates—June 5, June 10, and June 17—could influence these rates based on new government reports and a Federal Reserve meeting.

Key Facts

  • Mortgage rates went up by more than half a percentage point since early March and mid-April.
  • Higher rates have discouraged many homebuyers during a normally active buying season.
  • June 5 will see the release of the unemployment report, which could affect mortgage rates if unemployment rises.
  • June 10 will bring the inflation report, which could lead to rate increases or decreases depending on the inflation numbers.
  • The Federal Reserve meeting on June 17 could change mortgage rates based on decisions about interest rates.
  • A possible Fed rate cut is considered unlikely in June but comments on future cuts could influence rates.
  • Borrowers should watch these dates closely and be ready to lock in a rate if it becomes favorable.
  • External factors like overseas conflicts and inflation affect the overall interest rate environment.
