Consumer prices in August rose 5.3% from 2020 and 0.3% from July, the Labor Department reported Tuesday. Both totals were slightly below market expectations, a sign that inflation may be starting to cool.

 

The bond market is struggling with the threat of the Fed tapering its bond purchases. Keep an eye on the Fed’s Monetary Policy Statement on Wednesday, Sept 22, 2021. Locking interest rates in time for closing loans is recommended.

Loans are subject to credit and collateral approval. Advertised rates are based on a set of loan assumptions including a borrower with excellent credit history and optimal loan characteristics. Your final interest rate and annual percentage rate (APR) may differ depending on your individual transaction’s specific characteristics, and certain products may not be available for your situation. Several determining factors include, but are not limited to, the state of the property location, loan amount, documentation type, loan type, occupancy type, property type, loan to value, and credit score.

APR reflects the cost of credit over the term of the loan expressed as an annual rate. For mortgage loans, APR may include the interest rate, discount points (also referred to as “points”), and other charges or fees (such as mortgage insurance and origination fees), but does not necessarily take into account other loan-specific finance charges you may be required to pay.
