In this episode of Ten Minute Talks, HousingWire’s Managing Editor Allison LaForgia sits down with lead analyst Logan Mohtashami for a fast-paced, mortgage rate 101 deep dive. Logan unpacks how mortgage rates are determined, from the 10-year Treasury yield to the mortgage rate spread, and why that matters to lenders and borrowers. <br /><br />Logan breaks down which economic indicators he tracks daily, including jobless claims, labor data and inflation reports. He explains why weekly purchase application data tells a more timely story than traditional monthly housing reports. If you want to understand how to interpret the real-time housing market, this is a must-watch. <br /><br /><br />#HousingMarket #MortgageRates #EconomicOutlook #LoganMohtashami
