The Rate Update — No He Didn’t: Powell STAYS at the Fed — What Happens to Mortgage Rates Now?

Dan Frio — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 14:23:22 +0000

Fed Governor Powell Does NOT Step Down — What Next for the Fed, Mortgage Rates, Homebuyers & Homeowners?

No he didn’t.

Jerome Powell is stepping down as Federal Reserve chairman — but he is not leaving the Federal Reserve.

In this video, I break down Powell’s rare decision to remain on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors after his chair term ends, why this matters for Fed independence, what it could mean for the next Fed chair, and how the bond market may react.

And most importantly — what does this mean for mortgage rates, homebuyers, homeowners, and anyone waiting for rates to finally move lower?

The Fed just held interest rates steady again, inflation remains a concern, energy prices are pressuring the economy, and the market is trying to figure out whether rate cuts are still coming — or whether mortgage rates could stay higher for longer.

Today we’re covering:

Why Powell is stepping down as chair but staying at the Fed
Why this is historically rare
What this means for the next Fed chair
How markets may react
Why mortgage rates do not follow the Fed directly
What homebuyers and homeowners should watch next
Whether this changes the outlook for rate cuts and refinance opportunities

The big question now:
Does Powell staying at the Fed create stability — or more uncertainty for mortgage rates?

No hype. Just real data.

NO HE DIDN’T: Powell Just Dropped a Fed Bombshell

Dan Frio — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 20:03:12 +0000

The Federal Reserve is expected to hold interest rates steady, but the real story is what they say next.

In this live event, we’ll break down the Fed decision, Chairman Powell’s comments, inflation risks, oil prices, bond market reaction, and what all of it could mean for mortgage rates.

For homebuyers, this could impact affordability, monthly payments, and whether it makes sense to lock or float. For homeowners, it could affect refinance opportunities, home equity decisions, and when to watch for a better rate.

Join us live as we translate the Fed’s message into plain English — no hype, just what it means for your mortgage strategy.

The Rate Update —Here's Why the Fed Can't Cut Rates (Yet)

Dan Frio — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:06:09 +0000

The Rate Update — Here's Why the Fed Can't Cut Rates (Yet)

The Federal Reserve meets today — and the big question for homeowners and homebuyers is simple:

Why can’t the Fed cut rates yet?

Even if inflation is cooling in some areas, the Fed still has a problem. Core inflation, mortgage rates, Treasury yields, oil prices, jobs data, and market expectations all matter. And today may be especially important because this could be one of Jerome Powell’s final Fed meetings as Chair.

In this episode, we break down what the Fed is likely to do, what Powell may say after the meeting, why the market may move more on his press conference than the rate decision itself, and what it could mean for mortgage rates, homebuyers, homeowners, and anyone trying to decide whether to lock, float, buy, wait, or refinance.

Today’s key question:
👉 If inflation is cooling, why won’t the Fed cut rates yet?

We’ll look at:
• The Federal Reserve decision
• Why Powell’s press conference matters
• Inflation excluding food and energy
• Mortgage rates and Treasury yields
• Why the Fed may stay cautious
• What homebuyers should watch next
• Why rate cuts do not automatically mean lower mortgage rates
• What this means if you are buying or refinancing

No hype. Just real data.

The Rate Update —Iran Headlines, Oil Prices, and Your Mortgage Rate — What's Connected

Dan Frio — Mon, 27 Apr 2026 14:29:06 +0000

Mortgage rates are starting the week near recent lows — but this could be a major turning point.

This week, the Federal Reserve meets, oil prices are back in focus because of Iran headlines, and several major economic reports could move the bond market, Treasury yields, mortgage-backed securities, and ultimately mortgage rates.

In today’s Rate Update, I break down:

✅ Where mortgage rates are right now
✅ Why the Federal Reserve announcement matters this week
✅ How oil prices and Iran headlines can impact inflation expectations
✅ Why inflation is still a key driver for mortgage rates
✅ What buyers should consider before locking or floating
✅ What homeowners should know if they’re waiting to refinance

Mortgage rates do not move in a vacuum.

They are affected by inflation, Federal Reserve policy, the 10-year Treasury, mortgage-backed securities, oil prices, geopolitical risk, and economic data.

So if you’re buying, refinancing, or waiting for rates to drop, this is a week where you need to understand the WHY behind the market — not just the headline mortgage rate.

Tru Rate Update-Fed Rate Decision Could Save—or Sink—Your Mortgage Rate

Dan Frio — Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:19:55 +0000

TRU Rate Update — Fed Rate Decision Could Save—or Sink—Your Mortgage Rate

Watch here: https://youtu.be/WQLrrZ9eY8c

Mortgage rates have improved recently — but next week’s Federal Reserve decision could determine whether that relief continues… or whether rates move higher again.

In today’s episode, Dan Frio breaks down what the Fed is facing right now:

✅ Mortgage rates have pulled back
✅ Inflation is still running hotter than the Fed wants
✅ Jobs numbers remain strong
✅ GDP and the broader economy are holding up
✅ Oil prices and geopolitical risk are adding inflation pressure
✅ Homebuyers and homeowners are trying to decide whether to lock, float, buy, refinance, or wait

The big question: Can the Fed help mortgage rates — or will sticky inflation force them to stay cautious?

This matters if you are buying a home, refinancing, watching home prices, trying to time the market, or simply trying to understand why mortgage rates are not falling faster.

The Rate Update —Oil Markets Stabilize Amid Iran Ceasefire — Mortgage Rate Outlook Shifts

Dan Frio — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 15:25:08 +0000

Oil markets are stabilizing as the Iran ceasefire cools one of the biggest inflation risks facing mortgage rates right now.

In today’s episode of The Rate Update, I break down what the Iran ceasefire means for oil prices, why that matters for inflation, how the bond market is reacting, and what it could mean next for mortgage rates, homeowners, and homebuyers.

If oil continues to settle down, that could remove some inflation pressure from the market. And when inflation fears ease, Treasury yields and mortgage rates can sometimes follow. That does not guarantee lower rates immediately, but it absolutely shifts the conversation and the outlook.

In this video, I cover:
- Why oil prices matter to mortgage rates
- How Iran and Middle East tensions were affecting inflation fears
- Why a ceasefire is helping calm the markets
- What the bond market and Treasury yields are telling us now
- What this could mean for homebuyers waiting to purchase
- What this could mean for homeowners watching refinance opportunities
- What to watch next if you’re tracking mortgage rates day by day

If you’re a homebuyer, homeowner, realtor, or mortgage professional trying to make sense of where rates may go next, this video will help connect the dots between geopolitics, inflation, Treasury yields, and mortgage pricing.

The Rate Update —Mortgage Rates Just Changed—Here's What Happens Next

Dan Frio — Tue, 21 Apr 2026 15:50:01 +0000

**The Rate Update — Mortgage Rates Just Changed—Here’s What Happens Next**

Mortgage rates just changed — but the real question is: **what happens next?**

Today we break down the biggest drivers moving the mortgage market right now:

* **Retail sales** and what strong consumer spending means for inflation
* **Employment numbers** and why a strong labor market can keep pressure on rates
* **Corporate earnings** and what they’re telling us about the strength of the economy
* **Oil prices** and why energy may be the key variable that changes everything next

If the economy keeps looking strong, the Federal Reserve may have less reason to cut rates quickly. But if oil pushes inflation higher, that could create even more pressure on mortgage rates and affordability.

In this episode, I’ll show you how all of this ties together — and what it could mean for **home buyers, homeowners, refinancers, and real estate professionals** trying to make smart decisions in this market.

If you want help reviewing your options, comparing lenders, or figuring out whether now is the right time to buy or refinance, reach out below.

**Today’s Live Event: Behind the Scenes of How We Shop Your Mortgage**

Join me live today as I pull back the curtain and show you exactly how we help homebuyers and homeowners find the best loan option without having to apply over and over again.

We’ll walk through how our process works:

✅ **One application**
✅ **One credit pull**
✅ **30+ lenders compared**

Most people don’t realize how much mortgage rates, fees, and options can vary from lender to lender. In today’s show, I’m going to show you how we compare loan options side by side, what lenders look at, and how we work to find the best solution for each client.

If you’ve ever wondered:

* Who really has the best rate?
* Do I need to shop multiple lenders myself?
* How do I know I’m getting a good deal?
* What happens behind the scenes after I apply?

This live event is for you.

I’ll show you how we review your scenario, compare offers from over 30 lenders, and help you make sense of the numbers so you can move forward with confidence.

Whether you’re buying your first home, refinancing, or just trying to understand how mortgage shopping really works, this will give you an inside look at the process.

The Rate Update-Your Mortgage Rate Just Changed | Iran Conflict Driving Inflation

Dan Frio — Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:36:54 +0000

Why oil shocks feed directly into inflation
How inflation pressures the bond market (10-year Treasury)
The chain reaction most people miss
And what signals I’m watching RIGHT NOW for the next move in mortgage rates

We’re not just looking at what happened…
👉 We’re breaking down what’s about to happen next.

The Rate Update —The Iran War Just Spiked Oil Prices — And Your Mortgage Rate

Dan Frio — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 14:57:37 +0000

Hey — Dan Frio here, licensed mortgage loan officer in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

🚨 Mortgage rates are no longer just about the Fed… they’re now tied to OIL.

With rising tensions involving Iran and potential disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, oil prices are spiking — and that creates inflation pressure almost immediately.

And when inflation rises…
👉 the bond market reacts
👉 the 10-Year Treasury moves
👉 mortgage rates follow

So the real question is:
👉 Are mortgage rates about to spike next?
👉 And more importantly… should you LOCK or FLOAT right now?

In today’s video, we break it all down in simple terms:
• Why oil prices are now driving mortgage rates
• What the Iran conflict means for inflation
• How the bond market is reacting right now
• A real strategy to time your mortgage (without guessing)

The Rate Update —Mortgage Rates Spiked 51 Basis Points—Here's the Oil and Geopolitics Behind It

Dan Frio — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 15:16:54 +0000

Hey — Dan Frio here, licensed mortgage loan officer in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Mortgage rates just made a massive move — 5.99% to 6.5% in just DAYS… and it’s NOT random.

Here’s what’s driving it:
👉 Oil prices surging
👉 Inflation fears rising
👉 Global tensions escalating (Strait of Hormuz risk)

And now we have a 5-DAY WINDOW that could change everything.

If oil spikes → inflation rises → mortgage rates go HIGHER
If tensions ease → markets rally → rates could DROP FAST

This is one of those rare “lock vs float” moments where timing matters.

Today, I break down exactly what’s happening — and what YOU should be watching next.

The Rate Update --Multi-DSCR (5-8 Units) Advantage: Qualify Based on What the Property Makes

Dan Frio — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 21:19:33 +0000

If you're a real estate investor struggling to qualify for financing because your tax returns don’t show enough income… this is exactly what investors are using right now to scale.

In this video, we break down DSCR loans for 5–8 unit properties—a powerful financing option where the property qualifies, not you.

That means:

• No traditional income verification
• No tax returns required
• No W2s needed
• Qualify using lease income / rental cash flow

If the property cash flows… you may qualify.

We’ll walk through:

• What a DSCR loan is (Debt Service Coverage Ratio)
• How you qualify using rental income only
• Why this works especially well for 5–8 unit buildings
• Who this program is designed for (experienced investors)
• Key requirements like credit score, down payment, and DSCR ratios
• How investors are scaling portfolios without traditional underwriting

This is a game-changer for real estate investors looking to move beyond 1–4 unit properties and into small multifamily.

If you're wondering:

• How do investors qualify without showing income?
• Can rental income alone qualify me for a loan?
• What is a DSCR loan and how does it work?
• Can I buy a 5–8 unit property with no tax returns?
• Is this the best way to scale a rental portfolio?

You're in the right place.

On this channel, we break down real financial data and mortgage strategies so you can make smarter decisions about:

• Buying investment properties
• Scaling your rental portfolio
• Financing multi-unit real estate
• Understanding DSCR and investor loan programs
• Timing the housing and interest rate market

No hype.
No clickbait.

Just real mortgage strategies explained simply.

🚨 Fed Decision Tomorrow — No Rate Cuts… But Mortgage Rates Could Fall? (Here’s Why)

Dan Frio — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 14:16:05 +0000

The Federal Reserve meets tomorrow — and all signs point to NO rate cuts.

At the same time, oil prices are rising, inflation risks are back in focus, and the market is on edge.

So… why are mortgage rates showing signs they could actually move LOWER?

That’s exactly what we break down in today’s episode.

📊 What’s Happening Right Now

• Fed expected to hold rates steady
• Oil prices rising → potential inflation pressure
• Markets adjusting expectations for future Fed policy
• Bond market moving ahead of the Fed

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Video

• Why the Fed not cutting rates doesn’t mean mortgage rates won’t fall
• How oil and inflation expectations impact interest rates
• The role of the 10-Year Treasury & mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
• Why mortgage rates move ahead of Fed decisions — not after
• What this means for homebuyers, homeowners, and refinancers

No hype.
No clickbait.

The oil-mortgage rate link nobody's talking about --Part 2

Dan Frio — Mon, 16 Mar 2026 15:14:26 +0000

Mortgage rates were near 5.99%… but are they heading back to 7%?

With a Federal Reserve meeting just days away, rising oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and inflation still above target, the big question is:

👉 What happens to mortgage rates next — and what should YOU do about it?

In today’s update, we break down exactly what’s happening in the markets and how it impacts homebuyers, homeowners, and anyone watching interest rates right now.

📊 What We Cover in This Video:

• Why mortgage rates moved recently (and why they could move again fast)
• The impact of oil prices pushing toward $100+
• How global conflict is affecting the bond market
• What to expect from the Federal Reserve meeting this week
• Inflation trends and why the Fed is stuck
• The 10-Year Treasury and mortgage-backed securities (MBS) breakdown
• Whether rates could jump from the mid-5% range back toward 7%
• What this means if you're buying, refinancing, or waiting

🏡 What This Means for YOU:

If you're a:

• Homebuyer → Timing matters more than ever
• Homeowner → Refinance windows can open and close quickly
• Investor → Rate volatility = opportunity (and risk)

The market is noisy right now — but the data tells the real story.

🎯 The Bottom Line:

This week could be a major turning point for mortgage rates.

The Fed decision, inflation data, and global events are all colliding at once — and that’s exactly when rates tend to move the most.

👉 The key isn’t guessing… it’s understanding the data and being ready to act.

Dan Frio — Fri, 13 Mar 2026 14:03:23 +0000

Mortgage rates just surged again this week, even as the latest inflation data came in largely in line with expectations. So what’s really driving mortgage rates higher?

• Mortgage rates are spiking to new highs again
• The Iran conflict is escalating, pushing oil toward $100 per barrel

• The Federal Reserve meets next week, and the bond market is already reacting

We'll walk through what all of this means for:

🏠 Homebuyers
🏠 Homeowners
🏠 Real estate investors
🏠 Anyone watching mortgage rates

Is this housing bill truly a major step forward for housing affordability — or just political theater heading into election season?

Today’s February jobs report shocked the markets, and when employment data surprises economists, the ripple effects can move mortgage rates, bond yields, and the housing market almost immediately.

In today’s episode of The Rate Update, we break down the unexpected payroll numbers, what the data actually means for the economy, and how it could impact mortgage rates moving forward.

• What the latest payroll numbers actually show
• Why economists didn’t expect this report
• How the bond market and 10-Year Treasury reacted

Will 2.4% Inflation Finally Trigger Rate Cuts?

Dan Frio — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 15:33:12 +0000

Today’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) report came in at 2.4% inflation, right in line with expectations. On the surface that sounds like good news — inflation appears to be cooling.

But now the Federal Reserve faces a major dilemma.

• Inflation is moving closer to the Fed’s 2% target
• The jobs market is starting to weaken
• The bond market is reacting
• Mortgage rates are still elevated

So the big question becomes:

Will this finally trigger interest rate cuts?

In today’s episode of The Rate Update, we break down:

• The latest CPI inflation report (2.4%)
• What the bond market is signaling
• Where the 10-Year Treasury is heading
• How mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are reacting
• Whether the Fed may finally begin cutting rates
• What this means for mortgage rates and the housing market

If you're trying to decide:

• Should I buy a house now or wait?
• Should I lock or float my mortgage rate?
• Are mortgage rates about to fall?
• Is the housing market about to shift?

This video will help you understand what’s actually happening behind the headlines.

No hype.
No clickbait.

LIVE: Mortgage Rates, Jobs Report Shock & Oil Spike — What Happens Next? PART 3

Dan Frio — Fri, 06 Mar 2026 20:23:40 +0000

Oil Prices Explode as Jobs Report Tanks — What It Means for Mortgage Rates

The latest economic data just shocked the markets.

The U.S. jobs report came in dramatically weaker than expected, showing −92,000 jobs, while the unemployment rate jumped to 4.4%. At the same time, oil prices surged from around $60 to $86 per barrel, creating a major new inflation threat.

Now the Federal Reserve is stuck in the middle of a difficult economic dilemma.

Weak jobs data normally pushes the Fed toward cutting interest rates, but rising oil prices could drive inflation higher, which could force the Fed to keep rates elevated.

In today’s episode of The Rate Update, we break down:

• Why the jobs report turned negative
• What caused oil prices to spike so quickly
• How energy prices impact inflation
• The Federal Reserve’s policy dilemma
• What this means for mortgage rates and the housing market

If you're a homebuyer, homeowner, or real estate investor, these economic shifts could directly impact mortgage rates and housing affordability.

On this channel we analyze the 10-Year Treasury, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), inflation data, jobs reports, and Federal Reserve policy to explain exactly where mortgage rates may go next.

No hype.
No spin.

Just real mortgage and economic data explained simply.

30-Year Rates Just Hit Critical Levels | Lock or Float?

Dan Frio — Thu, 05 Mar 2026 15:19:55 +0000

30-Year Mortgage Rates Just Hit a Critical Level — Should You Lock or Float?

Mortgage markets are sending mixed signals right now.

Oil prices are rising due to geopolitical tensions, which could push inflation higher, yet the U.S. jobs market remains strong, making it harder for the Federal Reserve to justify cutting interest rates.

Meanwhile:

• The 10-Year Treasury is moving
• The MBS market is selling off
• Mortgage rates are bouncing around key levels

So the big question for homeowners and buyers is simple:

Do you lock your rate now… or float and wait?

In today’s video, I break down exactly what’s happening in the bond market, inflation data, and mortgage pricing so you can make the smartest move.

If you're thinking about buying, refinancing, or just trying to understand where mortgage rates are heading next — this is the update you need.

Middle East Escalation Sending Mortgage RATES Soaring—Here's The Real Reason

Dan Frio — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 15:31:11 +0000

Middle East escalation. Oil surging. Inflation fears reigniting. And mortgage rates are jumping.

Today we break down:

• Why conflict involving Iran is sending oil prices higher
• How rising oil feeds directly into inflation expectations
• Why the bond market is selling off instead of rallying
• What this means for the 10-Year Treasury
• And how all of it impacts YOUR mortgage rate

Normally, geopolitical conflict pushes investors into bonds — which lowers mortgage rates.

That’s not happening.

Instead, the market is pricing in higher inflation risk, fewer Fed cuts, and longer-lasting rate pressure.

If oil stays elevated, inflation could reaccelerate.
If inflation reaccelerates, mortgage rates don’t fall.

We’ll walk through exactly what needs to happen next for rates to stabilize — or drop.

Transparent. Data-driven. No hype.

Wait… Good News Is Bad for Mortgage Rates?

Dan Frio — Thu, 26 Feb 2026 15:12:39 +0000

Strong jobs.
Cooling inflation.
Stocks rallying.

So why aren’t mortgage rates falling?

In this video, we break down why a healthy economy actually reduces the likelihood of Federal Reserve rate cuts — and how that directly impacts mortgage rates.

We’ll cover:

• What the latest Jobs report signals
• Why inflation cooling isn’t the same as inflation collapsing
• How the 10-Year Treasury is reacting
• Why “no recession” = no emergency rate cuts
• What this means for homebuyers waiting on 5% rates

The bond market doesn’t move on headlines — it moves on expectations.

If the economy remains stable, mortgage rates may not drop the way many are hoping.

Let’s walk through the data.

Mortgage Rate Update — Lock Now Before Rates Climb?

Dan Frio — Wed, 25 Feb 2026 15:03:33 +0000

President Donald Trump just delivered the State of the Union — and markets are reacting.

So what does this mean for mortgage rates?

Should you LOCK now… or FLOAT and risk it?

Today we break down:
• Inflation expectations
• The 10-Year Treasury reaction
• MBS pricing movement
• Federal Reserve implications
• What this means for YOUR mortgage strategy

If you’re buying, refinancing, or waiting for lower rates — this is the strategy session you don’t want to miss.

Every day, we pull real pricing from 30+ lenders and show you exactly what you qualify for — plus lock vs. float guidance tied directly to CPI, Jobs data, MBS spreads & the 10-Year Treasury.

Transparent. Data-driven. No hype.

Mortgage Rates Hit 5.99% — Fed Says No Cuts Coming

Dan Frio — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 17:16:35 +0000

Mortgage rates just dropped to 5.99% — the lowest level in nearly three years.

HOME.COM Article
https://www.homes.com/news/daily-mortgage-rates-dip-to-5-99/1356105419/

But here’s the twist:

The Federal Reserve says no rate cuts are coming because inflation is still too high.

President Donald Trump is calling for rate cuts.

Inflation remains sticky.
Tariffs are creating uncertainty.
The Supreme Court just struck down major trade policy.
The jobs market is sending mixed signals.
Bond markets are reacting.

So how are mortgage rates falling without a Fed cut?

In this episode, we break down:
• Why mortgage rates follow the bond market — not the Fed Funds Rate
• What’s happening with the 10-Year Treasury
• How inflation expectations are driving mortgage pricing
• Whether 5.99% can last
• What this means for buyers, refinancers, and homeowners

This is the disconnect nobody is explaining clearly.

Every day, we pull real pricing from 30+ lenders and show you exactly what you qualify for — plus lock vs. float guidance tied to CPI, Jobs, MBS & the 10-Year Treasury.

Transparent. Data-driven. No hype.

Presidential Power Check | Supreme Court Limits Trump on Tariffs

Dan Frio — Mon, 23 Feb 2026 14:44:44 +0000

BREAKING: The Supreme Court rules against tariffs under IEEPA — now what?

Today we break down:
• What IEEPA actually is
• Why the Court ruled the way it did
• How this impacts the $37 trillion deficit
• Whether tariffs raise inflation
• What this means for Treasury yields & mortgage rates
• What happens next

No hype. No partisan spin. Just facts, market mechanics, and how this affects homeowners and buyers.

Every day, we pull real pricing from 30+ lenders and show you exactly what you qualify for — plus lock vs. float guidance tied to CPI, Jobs, MBS & the 10-Year Treasury.

Fed’s Preferred Inflation Gauge Ticks Up as GDP Crashes — Mortgage Rates React

Dan Frio — Fri, 20 Feb 2026 15:01:26 +0000

Today’s report delivered a mixed signal that markets don’t like:

📉 Economic growth just fell sharply
📈 Core PCE — the Fed’s preferred inflation gauge — moved higher

That combination matters.

When growth slows but inflation stays sticky, bond markets reprice fast.
And when the 10-Year Treasury and MBS move… mortgage rates follow.

In this episode, we break down:

• What the GDP print actually means
• Why Core PCE matters more than CPI
• How the 10-Year Treasury reacted
• What happened to mortgage-backed securities (MBS)
• What this means for locking vs. floating

We don’t speculate.
We follow the data.

If you’re buying, refinancing, or just tracking the market — this is the real-time breakdown you need.

Fed Rate Cuts Are Coming — Here's the Data You Need to Watch

Dan Frio — Wed, 18 Feb 2026 16:18:04 +0000

Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee signaled that more rate cuts could be possible if inflation keeps cooling — but here’s the crucial point:

👉 The Fed doesn’t cut rates based on commentary.
👉 They cut based on incoming data.

In this episode, we break down exactly what the Fed and bond markets are watching — and how that flows directly into mortgage rates.

We cover:

• CPI (Consumer Price Index)
• PPI (Producer Price Index)
• PCE (Personal Consumption Expenditures)
• Unemployment Rate
• ADP Payrolls
• Nonfarm Payrolls
• Wage Growth

Then we connect those data points to the markets that matter:

📉 The 10-Year Treasury
📊 Mortgage-Backed Securities (MBS)
🏠 Your Mortgage Rate

When inflation cools → bonds react.
When jobs weaken → yields move.
When yields move → mortgage rates follow.

If you’re a homeowner, buyer, investor, or realtor — this is how you stay ahead of rate moves.

No hype. No politics. Just data.

Rate Forecast: What's Priced In for Tomorrow?

Dan Frio — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 15:45:06 +0000

📉 Rate Forecast: What’s Priced In for Tomorrow?

Inflation is cooling.
Jobs are holding strong.
The bond market is moving.

Foreclosures “Skyrocketing”? Here’s How 2026 Compares to the 2008 Crash

Dan Frio — Mon, 16 Feb 2026 15:53:32 +0000

Foreclosures “skyrocketing”? Housing Crash 2026?

That’s what the headlines are saying. But how does 2026 actually compare to the 2008 housing crash?

In today’s breakdown, we separate emotion from data and compare:

• 2008–2010 foreclosure peak
• 2025–2026 foreclosure filings
• Percentage of housing units affected
• What “up 30%” really means
• COVID foreclosure moratorium impact
• Mortgage forbearance effects
• Why today’s housing market is structurally different

You’ll see the real numbers, the historical comparison, and whether we’re actually anywhere close to another crash.

Transparent. Data-driven. No hype.
