Mortgage Rates Don’t Drift — They Drop Fast (When They Drop)

Here’s what that looks like visually:

Those yellow highlights?

They’re brief dips in the 10-Year Treasury — and each one created a short window where mortgage rates improved.

We’ve helped clients lock during every one of those moments. Not because we guessed the timing.But because we were ready before it happened.

That’s the entire strategy right now — readiness > timing.

⚡️ Fast Programs That Are Winning Right Now

While the market waits for a bigger shift, we’re helping buyers and homeowners move quickly with programs that close in 15 days or less, even in a weird market:

• Lender-Paid Temporary Buydowns – Smooth out early payments, no seller concessions required

• DSCR Loans – Perfect for investors, no income docs, just rental analysis

• Self-Employed Programs – 12- or 24-month bank statement loans

• Down Payment Assistance – Still fully available, and yes, we can close them fast

In other words: the market doesn’t have to be perfect for your clients to make a smart move.

They just need to be prepared — and paired with a team that knows how to move fast.

What We’re Watching Into Next Week

Next week is big. We’ve got:

• Case-Shiller and FHFA home price data

• ADP private payrolls

• Fed policy meeting and statement

• PCE inflation report (the Fed’s favorite)

• The BLS Jobs Report on Friday

That combo could finally push the 10-Year lower. And if it breaks below 4.00%, mortgage-backed securities are likely to follow — and so are rates.

We’re watching it closely for you and your clients.Eyes on the data. Hands on the lock button.

Bottom Line

We’re not stuck. We’re just waiting for the next crack to widen. And when it does, we’ll be ready.

This market rewards preparation — not prediction.If you’re working with someone who’s on the fence, let’s build a plan, set a strike rate, and stay ready.

Because when the window opens, it doesn’t stay open for long.
