Mortgage rates today have seen little change compared to the weekend. Recently, in most areas, 30-year fixed rates for first-time homebuyers have been hovering around 5.99% (based on a FICO score of 780 and a 20% down payment).

The Federal Reserve is set to announce its latest rate decision this Wednesday afternoon. Markets generally expect rates to remain unchanged. This meeting is also viewed as one of the final meetings chaired by Jerome Powell. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh is being discussed as a potential successor.

In addition, we are currently offering a $600 appraisal credit for home purchase clients. For refinance clients (FICO 680 and above), there is an approximate 75 basis point rate incentive available. These offers will expire at midnight Eastern Time on April 30. Clients who are interested are encouraged to lock in their rate soon to take advantage of this limited-time opportunity.
