Mortgage Rate Trends and What They Mean for Your Home Purchase in Late 2024
As we approach 2025, mortgage rates have leveled off, with 30-year fixed rates around 6.5–7%. While these rates are still higher than recent lows, industry experts predict a gradual decline through 2024 as economic factors stabilize. This means that buyers may see slightly lower rates ahead, making this an opportune time to consider purchasing.
