Mortgage rates barely moved for most of the week, then Thursday brought the biggest one-day drop in three months.

More inflation news is coming next week, which could move rates again. Instead of trying to guess what happens next, it’s worth seeing what this week’s change means for your monthly payment.

And if the down payment is the bigger hurdle, that’s something you can start working on now too. Depending on the loan, you may need much less than 20% down.
