What’s Ahead For Mortgage Rates This Week – October 5th, 2026

While the Core PCE Index came in at 3.0%, below the expected 3.3%, overall inflation remains well above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

With inflation still running above the Federal Reserve’s target, there remains room for rates to stay elevated or potentially increase over the next several rate decisions if the Fed remains focused on restraining inflation.

Why the Money in Your Bank Account May Need a Paper Trail Before Closing

Having enough money in the bank is an important part of buying a home, but during the mortgage process, the amount in your account may not be the only consideration. In certain situations, lenders may also need to understand where funds came from. That can surprise buyers who assume that once money reaches their account, its history no longer matters.

Why Changing Jobs for More Money Can Still Complicate a Home Purchase

Getting a new job with a higher salary sounds like good financial news, especially when you are preparing to buy a home. But if the change happens while you are applying for a mortgage, the timing can create additional questions. Mortgage qualification is not based solely on how much you earn. Lenders also evaluate the stability, history, and documentation of the income being used to qualify.

How a Seller Credit Can Change the Cash You Need Without Changing the Home’s Price

When buyers negotiate the purchase of a home, price often gets most of the attention. But the final sales price is not the only number that can affect how much money a buyer needs at closing. In some transactions, a seller credit can help with certain eligible closing expenses without requiring the seller to reduce the home’s purchase price.
