Can I interest you in some mortgage news? Fashion perhaps? New rap music?
A surge in mortgage rates to 6% is giving home shoppers chills, pushing them to wait to refinance or buy a home.
With rates doubling from where they were a year ago, demand from buyers continues to weaken, as reflected in the Market Composite Index, a measure of mortgage application volume.
The index is now at its lowest level since December 1999, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) said on Wednesday.
The market index fell 1.2% to 255 in the week ending September 9. A year ago, the index stood at 707.9.
Rates hitting 6% is a significant milestone, albeit a negative one, for buyers. Mortgage rates are now at the highest level since November 2008.
Higher rates have pushed buyers to rethink refinancing and contributed to other prospective buyers’ staying on the sidelines, the MBA said.
Yet there’s still a silver lining in the data. Government loans, which many first-time buyers tap on, bucked the trend and in fact, increased week over week, the MBA said.
More than half of Youtube’s top 50 list is using Shorts as their primary posting form on the Platform. Youtube started using Shorts to mimic TikTok’s shorter and catchier content form, and it has clearly worked.

This soundbite from the Song Sensual Seductions by Snoop Dogg has been a hit this week.Â
How to do the trend? Every time the music beat changes show you (or switch between you and someone else) being “seduced” by the idea of something. It doesn’t need to be sexual, you can make it funny! Check out the example below. Don’t forget to give a bit of a dance at the end when Snoop starts singing for some added laughs.
