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

All rates but the 5-year adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) decreased week to week! The decrease may be due to the good news from the CPI report two weeks ago, which showed inflation slowing for the month of March. And with the Federal Reserve meeting next week on May 2nd & 3rd, perhaps there is speculation, or more like hope, that the Fed will slow down their rates hikes. Personally, I’m not sure if that will be the case, but one thing I am certain, if you plan to close on a home this week, make sure you take a look at your interest rates to see if you can benefit from this decrease.
