Russ Dean- First Home Mortgage

10/29/2026

Mortgage rates have benefited from a recent move toward Treasuries, but this week brings several potential market movers. Yesterday’s Fed announcement and press conference, followed by today’s economic growth and inflation reports, could influence the direction of rates. An encouraging October meets an important week of economic updates.

A light economic calendar doesn’t always mean a quiet mortgage market. Last week, stock market concerns pushed investors toward bonds, providing support for mortgage rates despite stronger inflation data. Attention now turns to Friday’s economic reports and next week’s Federal Reserve meeting, where the Fed’s outlook could shape the market’s next move.

It always feels good to help someone buy their home... But yesterday's closing was extra special! Shelly and I worked together a lifetime ago, and I've gotten to watch over the years as she has been a super Momma raising her 2 boys! Well guess what??? Momma is a homeowner now, boys!!! Couldn't be more excited for your next chapter, Shelly! ❤️🍾🏡

Thank you agent Jonathan Boss for your help securing the keys for our client as well! 🔑🔑🔑

Inflation takes center stage this week, while developments in Iran remain on the market’s radar. Wednesday’s consumer inflation report, followed by Thursday’s producer inflation and retail sales data, could influence the outlook for interest rates and bring movement in mortgage pricing. For buyers with an upcoming closing, staying connected with a loan officer can help keep financing plans on track.

Pretty cool for all the Maryland natives out there! First official state with a shark and it's the biggest to ever exist! 🦈

October 1st, 2026: As of today, Otodus megalodon, commonly known as megalodon, is Maryland’s official state shark. The extinct species was the largest shark ever to live. With this designation taking effect, Maryland becomes the first state in the nation to recognize an official State Shark.
