Estimates only, for comparison purposes. Mortgage insurance figures are approximations — actual MI pricing varies by insurer and full credit profile. FHA figures include the 1.75% upfront MIP financed into the loan; VA figures include the funding fee financed unless exempt. Property tax and insurance are editable estimates. Not a loan estimate, quote, or commitment to lend.

Market note · Oct 16, 2026
What's moving rates
Rates ticked up just slightly to close last week, adding about a hundredth of a point to the 30-year after a sharp five-day slide that had pulled it down more than a quarter point. The week's improvement came mostly from nerves around technology and AI spending, which sent investors into bonds. Firmer oil prices and a hot inflation reading kept rates from easing any further on Friday. Expect choppy, headline-driven moves until the inflation picture cools more convincingly.
