Hey — Dan Frio here, licensed mortgage loan officer in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
My goal is simple: help you understand mortgage rates — and more importantly, the WHY behind what’s happening.
Today, we’re breaking down a critical shift in the market:
👉 Economic indicators are flashing warning signs for mortgage rates
From rising oil prices… to persistent inflation concerns… to a Federal Reserve that may delay rate cuts — all of this is putting upward pressure on mortgage rates right now.
So the big question is:
👉 Should you LOCK or FLOAT in today’s market?
I’ll walk you through:
What’s happening with inflation and oil
Why the 10-Year Treasury is rising
How the Fed is reacting
And what it means for homebuyers and homeowners right now
