Buyers rush to lock mortgages as rates move fast and furious

It’s an age-old question, at least when it comes to mortgage interest rates: Is it better to float your rate or lock in your mortgage? There are pros and cons to each, which can vary based on the overall economy, as well as unpredictable factors that can cause rates to go up or down.

In September 2017, there were 148,874 companies set up to hold BTL properties compared to a count of 302,404 in September this year. And this has risen from 260,862 from just one year ago. Hamptons expects this year to be a record one for incorporations of this type because it sees many existing landlords moving from having personal holdings to company holdings to offset higher mortgage interest rates against their tax bill. The firm estimates that 40% of new ...

Mortgage demand continues to weaken, still right around a 22-year low, but there was a sign in the weekly numbers that first-time buyers may be slowly returning. Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 1% last week compared with the previous week, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. Volume was 21% lower than the same week one year ago. There was, however, a jump in demand for loans offering lower down payments. "Last week's purchase results varied, wi...

The numbers: Sales of new homes in the U.S. fell in April for the fourth month in a row to the lowest level since the pandemic owing to high prices and soaring mortgage rates. New sales slowed to a 591,000 annual rate from 709,000 in the prior month, the government said Tuesday. That’s how many homes would change hands in a full year if the number of sales were the same in every month as they were in April. Economists polled by The Wall Street Journal had forecast sales to take place at a 75...
