Mortgage rates: Highest in more than a year

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage climbed to a 6.71% national average this week, now well above its 6.50% average a year ago, Freddie Mac reports. As rates rise, more home buyers are turning to adjustable-rate mortgages to secure a lower initial rate and reduce their borrowing costs. ARMs comprised 8% of mortgage applications last week, the highest share in five weeks, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. ARMs typically offer a fixed interest rate for a five-, seven- or 10-year period before adjusting to current market rates.
Last week, the average contract interest rate for a five-year ARM fell to 5.94%, according to MBA.

Mortgage applications increased 3.6 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending August 7, 2026.

Waiting for mortgage rates to come down may have you waiting indefinitely…

Depending on the listing and the seller’s motivation, it may be possible to negotiate a concession that helps fund a temporary rate buydown.
That could create a lower payment during the first couple of years, giving you more flexibility while you settle into the home.
The rate eventually returns to the original note rate, so it’s important to understand the full structure.
But before you sit on the sidelines, it may be worth asking what could be negotiated right now.
Message me your target price range and I’ll show you an example.

Friday market check because I can’t help myself 📊

📊 Austin Housing Market Update: Buyers Have the Advantage

July data shows Austin’s market continues to shift in favor of buyers. The New Listing Absorption Ratio dropped to 0.61, meaning buyers absorbed only 61% of the homes coming onto the market. This is a sign that inventory is building and competition among sellers is increasing.

Sellers are feeling the pressure: 6,835 homes had price reductions. With mortgage rates holding steady around 6.6%, the biggest driver of today’s market is not rates, it’s supply and demand.

For buyers, this creates more opportunities, more negotiating power, and more time to make thoughtful decisions. For sellers, pricing strategy matters more than ever. 🏡🤔

In May, Austin's median listing prices dropped 10.1% year-over-year—one of the steepest declines in the country.

Some closings hit different. 🏡✨
Today I had the joy of handing over the keys to one of my favorite people, a client who became a true friend, as she closed on her dream home in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
She didn’t just buy a house. She bought a lifestyle, resort living, wide open spaces, and a whole new chapter that is absolutely hers.
If you’re dreaming of something like this, here’s what I want you to know:
✅ The right home IS out there, even in a competitive market
✅ Getting clear on your lifestyle first makes the search so much easier
✅ Having an agent in your corner who knows the area (and genuinely cares) changes everything

Hill Country is one of the most sought-after markets in Texas right now and for good reason. If it’s been on your radar, let’s talk before inventory shifts again.
