In this episode of Ten Minute Talks, HousingWire’s Managing Editor Allison LaForgia sits down with lead analyst Logan Mohtashami for a fast-paced, mortgage rate 101 deep dive. Logan unpacks how mortgage rates are determined, from the 10-year Treasury yield to the mortgage rate spread, and why that matters to lenders and borrowers.
Logan breaks down which economic indicators he tracks daily, including jobless claims, labor data and inflation reports. He explains why weekly purchase application data tells a more timely story than traditional monthly housing reports. If you want to understand how to interpret the real-time housing market, this is a must-watch.
