Heads up if you’re house hunting: mortgage rates just ticked up a bit, with the 30-year average now at 6.72%. This little jump is tied to how the economy’s doing—good news for jobs, not so much for your wallet. Big economic reports (especially on inflation) are coming out soon, so rates could wiggle, but don’t expect any wild swings. If you want a better rate, focus on boosting your credit and saving up, not just waiting for rates to drop. #MortgageTips #HomeBuying #PersonalFinance #MoneyHacks #RealEstate
