UPDATED WEEKLY

Weekly Talking Points

Use these weekly talking points to discuss current trends with your clients. Updated weekly to keep your conversations informed and insightful.

  • "Rates have inched up, but they're still below last year's highs."

    Encourage buyers to consider that while rates have risen slightly, they remain favorable compared to previous peaks, making it a good time to explore options.

  • "More homes are hitting the market—let's find the right one before competition increases."

    With inventory on the rise, buyers have more choices now, but increased activity could lead to more competition soon.

  • "We can lock in your rate now and explore options to adjust if rates drop."

    Offer clients the flexibility to secure current rates with the possibility to refinance or adjust if rates decrease in the future.

  • "Today’s market offers leverage, let’s use it to your advantage.”

    Sellers are more open to negotiation. Use this moment to secure perks like rate buydowns, price reductions, or closing cost credits before competition heats up.

LEARN ABOUT DAILY CHANGES

Mortgage Rate Chart

Most important point: the best use of this index is to track the CHANGE from day to day. There are so many things that can cause discrepancies between borrowers, lenders, and quotes. But because we use the same baseline scenario year after year, you can be sure that the CHANGE is a good representation of how rates are moving. Please reach out for any questions! : )
