Talking points

  1. The 30-year conventional index is 6.87%, +0.06 on the day. Buyers who already found a house should treat this as a reason to get a scenario locked in writing — not to panic, but not to wait on a hope rally.
  2. FHA 6.40% and VA 6.42% still screen cheaper than conventional on the index. For first-time and veteran buyers, run the side-by-side before you talk down payment.
  3. We are at the high end of the 52-week range (5.99%–6.87%). Affordability math matters more than chasing a tenth.
