· Inflation
Inflation is an essential factor in the overall economy and critical for mortgage lenders. Inflation erodes the purchasing power of dollars over time.
· Economic growth
Economic indicators, gross domestic product (GDP) and employment rates influence mortgage rates. When the GDP is up incomes are higher and consumer spending is higher. When income and consumer spending is up, the demand for mortgage loans also goes up. The increased demand causes mortgage rates to go higher. Naturally, the opposite effect occurs from a weak economy.
· Federal Reserve Monetary Policy
The Federal Reserve monetary policy is one of the most important factors that affect both the economy and interest rates. The Fed does not set the mortgage rates but their adjustments, up or down, have a significant impact on the overall rates available to the buying public.
· Bond Market
Bonds affect the mortgage rates because they compete for the same type of investors. When Treasury returns rise, banks charge higher interest rates for mortgages.
· Housing Market
When fewer homes are being built, the reduction in home purchasing leads to a reduction in demand for mortgages and send interest rates down.
