    Mortgage Rates Rise to 6.79% in
    the Wake of Trump’s Presidential
    Victory
    Nov 7, 2024

    Mortgage rates rose from 6.72% last
    week to 6.79% for a 30-year fixed
    home loan for the week ending Nov. 7,
    according to Freddie Mac.

    This shift comes after the presidential
    election, which has “the potential to
    influence mortgage rates in both the
    short and long term,” says Realtor.com
    senior economic research analyst Hannah
    Jones in her report.

    “While it’s not always 100% clear what
    markets are thinking, they could be
    expecting a combination of stronger
    economic growth, more fiscal spending,
    as well as higher prices and inflation
    because of more tariffs and lower taxes,”
    explains McLaughlin.

    Good news. More problems for Trump to fix.

    Tax cuts and tariffs should do the trick, it'll all trickle down to y'all one day.
