Welcome to this week’s edition of The Mortgage Porter Weekly, where I break down what’s happening in the mortgage and housing markets and what it means for homebuyers, homeowners, and real estate professionals.
Current Mortgage Rates
Mortgage rates are trending slightly higher as markets wait for clarity from the Federal Reserve.
In the video above, I review this week’s rate trends and what borrowers should keep in mind if they’re considering buying or refinancing. Click here for current mortgage rates.
Upcoming FOMC Meeting
The next Federal Open Market Committee meeting is right around the corner.
In this episode, I discuss:
- What the markets are expecting from the FOMC meeting
- How a Fed rate cut may impact mortgage rates
The FOMC’s tone can often have more impact than the announcement itself—so stay tuned!
2026 VA Loan Limits
VA announced its 2026 loan limits, and in this week’s video I walk through how these updates could affect eligible veterans and active-duty service members.
Even with the elimination of loan limits for some borrowers, these numbers still matter—especially when calculating secondary entitlements.
