Mortgage Rates Move Slightly Lower

Unlike Monday, which saw a fairly brisk move toward higher rates, Tuesday barely budged. Additionally, the budging occurred in a friendly direction with the average lender offering rates that were just a hair lower than yesterday's.  Starting tomorrow morning, this week's potential volatility will be higher. Each day brings several economic reports  with the power to push rates higher or lower. Wednesday/tomorrow is probably chief among these due to the ADP employment report and a closely watched service sector report from ISM.
