Jan. 6, 2020 -- Unsettled markets are often the friend of homebuyers, as demand for riskier assets get pushed aside in favor of safety, and this tends to bring lower mortgage rates into the market. The yield on the influential 10-year Treasury note fell by about 15 basis points (0.15%) between midday Thursday and the close of business Friday, and while not all that change will move into mortgages, it's likely that something around half or perhaps a little bit more will. What's not clear at the moment is whether the downdraft will continue or how long it will stick around, but at the moment, there is downward pressure on rates.
Although they did firm up somewhat in the fourth quarter of 2019, mortgage rates have been holding at pretty low levels. In the last 12 weeks, conforming 30-year FRMs have held an average no higher than 3.75% and no lower than 3.66%, supporting both refinance activity and creating steady demand by potential homebuyers looking to get into the market. Lower mortgage rates may serve to foster this demand further, but this would be coming at a time when there is a dearth of available homes to buy and in the season where fewer homeowners are likely to put their houses up for sale. The tight inventory levels of the fall and into early winter have re-ignited home prices again, with prices up more than 5% in November compared to a year-ago level. To the extent that lower mortgage rates attract more potential homebuyers the issues of nothing to buy and decreasing affordability will likely worsen a bit more. The National Association of Realtors noted this week that their Pending Home Sales Index for November was up by 1.2% over October, so pressure may have already been increasing even as a lack of desirable, affordable homes continues to temper sales.
For the moment, we do see some downward pressure on interest rates; up until Thursday, we were starting to contemplate that the next move for mortgage rates might be a leg higher, given that underlying interest rates had been relatively elevated in recent weeks with no pass-through effect into mortgage rates. Now, with new risks injected into the days ahead, odds favor somewhat lower mortgage rates, at least until the dust settles, if it does.
