Why VA Rates Are Stuck at 6% and What Could Change Friday

The government is still shut down — and that means the data pipeline for key economic reports is frozen.

Here’s what that means for mortgage rates this week:

🏠 VA rates: around 6.0%–6.1%
💵 Conventional: near 6.25% and trending lower

But the real risk? If Congress doesn’t pass a Continuing Resolution soon, active-duty military members could miss their October 31st paycheck — and that could impact home closings nationwide.
