A practical budget check for Treasure Coast and Palm Beach homebuyers: would the payment still work if refinancing weren’t available next year?
Fannie Mae’s October 12, 2026 housing forecast projects a 7.5% national average for 30-year fixed mortgages in 2027. Forecasts change, and individual loan quotes vary.
Ask your lender for an updated payment estimate before choosing your price range. Include property taxes, insurance and any association dues, and avoid making the purchase depend on a later refinance.
