Consumer Price Index (August 2024)
Inflation continues to make progress as the headline Consumer Price Index eased to 2.5% YoY in August from 2.9% in July, reaching its lowest level since February 2021. Core CPI (which removes food and energy prices) held steady at 3.2% YoY due in large part to shelter costs. These crucial readings keep the Fed on track for cutting rates at their meeting on September 18.

Thinking about paying off your mortgage early? Be aware of prepayment penalties! Some loans charge a fee if you pay off your mortgage too soon, whether through selling, refinancing, or large lump sum payments. Not all loans have these penalties, so it's important to review your terms carefully. Let’s discuss your loan options and make sure you’re set up for success!

ADP Employment Report (August 2024)
Private sector job growth was well below forecasts in August, as employers added 99K new jobs versus the 145K that were expected. This was the fifth straight month that job growth slowed among private employers, while small businesses once again reported job losses. This labor sector softening should be supportive of a Fed rate cut at their meeting on September 18.

To put it into actual perspective we have several refinance loan files that we are just floating in our pipeline. Since the loan files were started about a month ago, actual rate has gone down on most files by a full percentage. We have floated all of our purchase loans in the last month and in some cases the actual rate has gone down by more than a full percentage. These buyers are HAPPY. 😊
