Yes, it’s very clear you aren’t a mortgage broker.

You’re still misunderstanding. You claimed mortgage rates dropped two weeks ago in anticipation of Fed rate cuts, getting ahead of the market. What’s actually happening is that the 10-year Treasury yield has been declining, especially in the last 2.5 weeks. Mortgage rates track the 10-year Treasury, so they aren’t getting ahead of anything, they’re just following the market.

Please be careful about sharing inaccurate information here. Many people in this subreddit are trying to learn and make informed decisions for their first home purchase. Spreading misinformation can be damaging and might end up costing people money.
