Refinance Rates Fall Below Purchase Rates in October 5 Mortgage Update
Original: Today’s Mortgage Rates, October 5: Refinance Rates Drop Below Purchase Rates
Mortgage rates published for October 5 show refinance rates dropping below purchase rates, an unusual spread that could make refinancing comparatively attractive for existing homeowners. Rate watchers are treating the shift as a sign of easing borrowing costs, while prospective buyers weighing purchases continue to face slightly higher pricing than those refinancing existing loans.
Why now: Borrowers are tracking daily rate movements closely as refinancing becomes cheaper than taking out a new purchase mortgage.
