Mortgage rates ease to seven-week low as buyers return to market
It's encouraging to see mortgage rates easing back, with the 30-year fixed now at 6.43% (a seven-week low) and the 15-year at 5.79%. This drop is bringing more buyers back into the market, as improved affordability, a healthy level of inventory, and slower home-price growth create new opportunities for those looking to make a move.
I know from years of guiding clients—whether first-time buyers or seasoned homeowners—that understanding the numbers is just one piece of the puzzle. My background in industrial engineering and process improvement taught me the importance of looking at the big picture and making informed decisions. If you’re exploring your options in this changing environment, it’s all about having the right information and support to move forward with confidence.
