The Regan Team Home Loan Group Weekly Real Estate Round up – October 14 2026

This week’s market update starts with a warning for homeowners with adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs). Many borrowers who originally locked in extremely low introductory rates are beginning to see those loans reset—and the jump in interest rate can mean a significant increase in the monthly payment.

We also break down the latest existing home sales data, including sales activity, home prices, inventory, days on market, and the percentage of first-time homebuyers entering the market.

On the economic side, we review the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report. Inflation came in hotter than expected, creating another challenge for the bond market and potentially slowing the path toward lower mortgage rates.

Finally, we look at recent bond and mortgage-backed security movement to see what the latest economic data could mean for mortgage rates going forward.

If you have an adjustable-rate mortgage—or you’re thinking about buying, selling, or refinancing—understanding these changes is more important than ever.
