📈 Why are mortgage rates moving higher?

If you’ve been watching mortgage rates lately, you may have noticed the recent increase.

One important market indicator is the 10-Year Treasury yield, which recently moved close to 4.90%.

And this isn’t happening only in the U.S. 🌎 Bond yields have also been rising in other major economies, making this part of a broader global bond-market story.

🏡 What does this mean for homebuyers?

Higher long-term yields can put upward pressure on mortgage rates, which may affect monthly payments and borrowing costs.

But mortgage rates are influenced by multiple factors, and they don't always move exactly with Treasury yields.

The takeaway: Instead of focusing only on the headline rate, consider your monthly payment, overall budget, financing options, and long-term goals.

If you're considering buying, a licensed mortgage professional can help you understand the rates and loan options available to you based on your individual circumstances.

Kitchen design is changing!🏠
Traditional range hoods aren't the only option anymore. some designers and homeowners are choosing more integrated solutions that create a cleaner, more streamlined kitchen look.
But when you're buying or remodeling a home, remember: design should work together with proper ventilation and building requirements.
Would you choose a statement range hood or a hidden/integrated look?

🏡 AUGUST 2026 MILPITAS SINGLE-FAMILY HOME MARKET SNAPSHOT

What happened in August compared with July?

💰 Median Sales Price:
$1.69M → $1.775M ⬆️

📉 Closed Sales:
19 → 10

📉 New Listings:
25 → 19

⏱️ Median Days on Market:
12 → 14 days

💵 Average List Price Received:
102% → 100%

📊 Average Price/Sq. Ft.:
$1,030 → $907

What does this tell us?
August had a higher median sales price, but there were fewer closed sales and fewer new listings.

And while homes took slightly longer to sell, the median was still just 14 days.

👉 The important takeaway: don't judge the market by one statistic. Price, inventory, sales activity, days on market, and buyer demand all matter.

If you're thinking about buying or selling, understanding what's happening in your specific neighborhood is much more useful than relying on headlines.
