On Monday, Nerdwallet released the average mortgage rates in the country.

All rates increased week to week, but one thing to notice is the increase isn’t as shard as weeks past. This is possibly due to the March CPI numbers released last Wednesday.

Inflation slowed in March with a .01% increase versus the .4% rise in February. This is great news as we watch mortgage rates, but we won’t know if it is enough for the Federal Reserve to slow down its rate hikes. We’ll find out during their May meetings on the 2nd and 3rd.
