Been trying to get a handle on where mortgage rates might be going next year, and um...it's not easy. Here's what I've been doing: checking economic news regularly, following the Fed's announcements closely, and even setting up some Google alerts on housing market updates. But honestly, it's still kinda guesswork. Is there a better way or some resource you've found super reliable for getting ahead of rate changes?
"But honestly, it's still kinda guesswork."
Yeah, feels like we're all just making educated guesses at this point. I've been doing similar stuff—Fed updates, news alerts—but I also started following a couple mortgage brokers on social media. Sometimes their insights feel more practical...less jargon-y, you know?

Yeah, I get what you're saying about brokers on social media—sometimes they're more tuned into what's actually happening on the ground. But honestly, even their predictions aren't foolproof. I've been through enough market cycles to know that mortgage rates are influenced by so many moving parts—global events, politics, inflation—that anyone claiming certainty is probably overselling it. Best we can do is stay informed, keep an eye on trends, and advise clients based on what's practical right now rather than betting too heavily on future guesses.
