📉 THE NEWS WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR: Mortgage Rates Hit a 3-Year Low!

A significant shift in the housing market today.

Mortgage rates have officially hit 6.06%, their lowest level in over three years. While the lower rate is good news for monthly payments, the bigger story here is the "unfreezing" of the market.

We’re finally starting to see the "lock-in effect" lose its grip. For a long time, homeowners felt stuck in their current houses because of their low pandemic-era rates. This dip below 6.1% is a psychological turning point that is bringing more inventory to the market

More options for buyers and more mobility for sellers is a healthy sign for 2026

The full breakdown via CNN:

Staying informed on these trends is key to navigating the market in Lake Tapps & Auburn.

The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 6.06% for the week ending January 15, according to Freddie Mac. The last time home borrowing rates were this low was September 2022.

💪 Negotiation Matters. Here’s Proof. 💪

This Allyn home started at $895,000, dropped to $875,000, and then $850,000. The sellers were done lowering their price.

But that didn’t stop us. We negotiated another $20,000 off — saving our clients thousands, even when the deal looked locked.

If you’re buying or selling in this market, don’t just hire an agent. Hire a negotiator.
