June 2023 News And Events

Heading into June, mortgage rates have been moving higher. The culprit? The debt ceiling and recent economic data might push the Fed to raise rates again in June. Bank failures are old news (for now), and inflation fears are creeping back into the market. There still is a chance the Fed pauses in June, but a strong employment report and a higher-than-expected CPI report might change that. The Fed meets on June 13th and 14th.

Opportunities And Risks For June 2023 Mortgage Rates

The opportunity for mortgage rates to move lower in June is tied to three things;

  • Employment Report
  • CPI Report
  • The Fed

The first two will influence what the Fed will do in mid-June. Heading into the meeting, most investors think the Fed will pause; however, it’s certainly not an overwhelming majority.

June 2023 Mortgage Rate Forecast For California

Here are our latest June 2023 mortgage rate forecasts for California:

  • 30-year fixed rates below 6.50%
  • 20-year fixed rates below 6.375%
  • 15-year fixed rates below 6.25%

Our June 2023 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.
