How did mortgage rates end the week?
Mortgage rates had hovered around the 7.0%-mark for most of the week, but they ended the week a bit higher. A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage closed the week at 7.29%. Now that the markets know where the Federal Reserve wants to take interest rates to fight inflation, they’re waiting on new inflation data before deciding which way to go next.
What is an ‘accidental landlord’?
Property owners that are unwilling or unable to sell their properties at the price they’re hoping for have become ‘accidental landlords’. Meaning, they didn’t want or mean to become landlords, but they’ve chosen to do so because of current economic conditions.
While this has become a trend in select markets, it’s not yet widespread throughout the country. It remains to be seen if this will catch on elsewhere and what it will do to the cost of monthly rent.
