Mortgage Rates 03-15-17

By Lisa Robison Updated on 3/20/2017

Today, mortgage rates were steady despite the improvements in the bond markets. Usually, improvements in the bond markets directly correlate with improvements in mortgage rates. Lenders are weary of tomorrow's big Fed announcement. Lenders do not want to be held responsible for low rates.

As stated yesterday, there will be a Fed hike and we are expecting accelerated forecasts in future rate hikes. We are unsure as to how well-prepared the markets will be for this kind of acceleration. If the acceleration is less than expected, then mortgage rates will, generally, hold. If acceleration is faster, rates could quickly increase.
