If you’ve been thinking about buying a home or refinancing, you might’ve noticed something interesting this week: mortgage rates dipped — and it wasn’t because of a typical market move.
So, what’s behind this unexpected drop?
The Bureau of Labor & Statistics (BLS) just issued a quiet correction to their previous reports. Turns out, over 258,000 jobs reported in May and June never actually existed.
That’s not a typo. These were jobs that the government said were added — and based on that, the media pushed headlines about “strong economic growth.”
But now? Those numbers have been revised downward. Quietly. After the headlines faded.
And this isn’t a one-time slip-up. These revisions happen all the time — months after they’ve already influenced markets, political talking points, and public sentiment.
When job numbers get revised downward like this, it signals weakness in the economy, which causes mortgage rates to dip. That’s exactly what we’re seeing right now.
✅ If you’ve been following my updates and floated your loan, you’re likely getting a better rate today.
🏠 If you’ve been on the fence about buying or refinancing — this might be your moment.
Yes — a little. Because this kind of thing messes with real decisions people like you are trying to make about your future. Whether you're buying your first home, refinancing to save money, or just trying to figure out if now is the right time to move — you deserve real numbers, not delayed corrections.
But here’s the good news:
👉 If you're working with someone who watches this data daily, you’re not going to be blindsided.
Rates are lower today — but they won’t stay that way forever.
And if you're looking for someone who cuts through the noise, reads between the lines, and helps you move smart? I’m here for it.
Let’s run the numbers.
No hype. No pressure. Just clarity.
