June 2021 News And Events

June 2021 mortgage rates for both purchase and refinance transactions remain stable heading into the first month of summer. Concerns over inflation have put pressure on mortgage rates over the last three months. Will we continue to see high inflation data in June or will the inflation data start to show signs that prices are leveling out?

Our first bit of inflation data will be on June 1st (ISM Manufacturing PMI) and later in the week the monthly jobs report is released (wage increase is the data point to watch).

If we start to see further increases in inflation we might see mortgage rates move higher. If the data is stable or slightly lower (the most likely scenario) then mortgage rates might continue to trend at current levels.

Opportunities And Risks For June 2021

Opportunities for June 2021 mortgage rates to move significantly lower are almost non-existent. The market is concerned about rising inflation, which is bad for mortgage rates. Even if we see data that shows a significant drop in inflation it is unlikely that lenders will aggressively lower mortgage rates.

The reason is simple; one or two data points is not a trend and until that “lower inflation” trend is established lenders will remain cautious.

The risk to June 2021 mortgage rates is that inflation continues to rise. If we see strong inflation data this month that could easily push mortgage rates significantly higher.

June 2021 Mortgage Rate Forecast For California

Here are our latest June 2021 mortgage rate forecasts for California:

  • 30-year fixed rates below 3.00%
  • 20-year fixed rates below 2.75%
  • 15-year fixed rates below 2.375%

Our June 2021 mortgage rate forecast is based on properties in California, a loan amount of $350,000, a primary home, excellent credit (740 or higher credit score), and a Loan-To-Value ratio below 60% (purchase transactions).

We may see days in which mortgage rates spike higher however overall we believe there will be opportunities to lock a mortgage rate at or below these levels throughout the month of June.
