Today’s private jobs report showed the U.S. lost about 32,000 jobs in September, even though experts expected a gain. Last month’s numbers were also revised lower.
Normally, weaker job growth gives the bond market a boost—and that helps keep borrowing costs steady. By the end of the day, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate held near 6.37%, basically unchanged from yesterday.
Bottom line: rates are holding near the lowest levels we’ve seen in almost a year. That stability could give you a good window to explore buying or refinancing.
