Mortgage rate movement isn’t unusual — it’s part of the market cycle.

Since 1972, the average annual range in the 30-year fixed mortgage rate has been 1.40 percentage points. Since 2001, that average range has been 1.08 percentage points.

For buyers, sellers, and real estate professionals, context matters. Rate changes can feel big in the moment, but history shows movement happens every year.

That’s why having the right mortgage guidance matters — especially in a market where timing, strategy, and perspective can make all the difference.

📊 Mortgage Mondays: One thing stands out in these forecasts: there's surprisingly little disagreement.

Major housing and mortgage economists all project mortgage rates near the 6.2%–6.5% range through 2027. For agents, that's a reminder that today's conversations should focus less on waiting for a magic number and more on helping clients understand their options in the market that's in front of them.

May’s housing market data tells an interesting story: asking prices are easing, buyers are still showing up, and regional inventory trends are shifting.

According to Realtor.com, median list prices were down 2.4% year over year, while pending listings rose 4.3%—a sign that buyers may be responding when homes are priced for today’s market.

Whether you’re planning to buy, sell, or simply watching the market, staying informed can help you make more confident decisions.

Rates get the headlines. Payments move buyers and sellers.

According to Redfin’s analysis of MLS data, homebuyer housing payments are now DOWN 1.6% year-over-year. 📉

That may not solve affordability overnight, but it does give agents something valuable: a reason to reopen conversations with buyers who paused, leads who went quiet, and sellers who need to understand where demand may be shifting.

The opportunity is not waiting for the “perfect” market.
It is helping clients understand the payment picture in the market they have.

Let’s turn hesitation into strategy instead.
