📝 Why Rates Moved

Stronger jobs data boosted treasury yields, pushing mortgage rates up after a five-week dip. Refinance demand surged—MBA reports show a 56% YoY increase in apps. MBA data reveals a 9% weekly rise in purchase loans too.

🔭 Fed Commentary & Forecast

Fed officials remain split. Mary Daly said two cuts could come this fall, while Governor Waller backed a July cut due to soft inflation. Most economists still expect rates to stay in the 6–7% band through the remainder of 2025.

🌍 Foreign National Mortgages

Foreign investors typically pay a premium—about 0.5–1% above U.S. rates. That means:

30‑Year Fixed: 7.14%–7.64%
Down payments: often 20–40%
Stricter documentation: asset verifications, no U.S. credit history

Préstamos DSCR are popular for foreign buyers—they focus on rental income, not personal income. These loans are growing as foreign buyers seek U.S. rental property investments despite higher borrowing costs.

🏦 What This Means for Investors

Affordability squeeze continues, sustaining rental demand.
Cash flow focus is essential—financing decisions must account for today’s rate reality.
Refinance wisely—if mid-2025 dips appear, consider ARMs or cash-out refis.
Foreign investors pay more, but specialty loans level the playing field.
