MORTGAGE RATES RISE FOR THE 5TH STRAIGHT WEEK.

I just read an article with the latest Primary Mortgage Market Survey published by Freddie Mac (OTCQB: FMCC).

The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.46% as of April 2, up from last week when it averaged 6.38%. A year ago at this time, it averaged 6.64%.

The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.77%, up from last week when it averaged 5.75%. A year ago at this time, it averaged 5.82%.

Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, acknowledged the rising rates by stating, “With spring homebuying season in full swing, aspiring buyers should remember to shop around for the best mortgage rate, as they can potentially save thousands of dollars by getting multiple quotes.”

Call me so I can show you how to get the best of interest rates. And, as it always happens in real estate, this is only temporary. I've been through enough cycles in my 36+ years in this business, selling properties with rates as high as 18% and as low as 2%. No need to panic, we can weather the storm!!!.

Escrow closed! 🏡

Another happy buyer has found their new home, and I couldn’t be more excited for my good friend, Mr. Jose L — one of the best percussionists in Southern California!! 🎉

I was able to negotiate a purchase price of $505,000, plus a $5,000 credit for closing costs. Even better, the final valuation/appraisal came in at $545,000!! It's always an amazing feeling to help a buyer move in with equity from day one. 🙌

If you or someone you know is ready to buy or sell, let’s chat! With over 36 years in the business, I’m confident I can guide you every step of the way.

ECONOMISTS EXPECT "A RESET" FOR HOUSING IN 2026, "NOT A REBOUND."

Interesting article in today's Real Estate News Magazine.

With the U.S. economy at a crossroads, real estate economists have differing home sales forecasts for 2026 — but most expect mortgage rates to continue to drop.

Key Points:

*Economists have a wide range of predictions for real estate in 2026, due in part to uncertainty about how much more the labor market will weaken.

*While some economists have differing expectations for home sales, the general expectation is that prices will stay relatively flat.

*Inflation and job market fluctuations will impact mortgage rates, which are expected to tick lower. Rates remain a key factor in the market’s ability to bounce back.

MORTGAGE RATES BACK DOWN NEAR RECENT LOWS!!

By: Mortgage News Daily
10 Min ago

Mortgage rates improved more noticeably today, and while the average rate isn't quite as low as it was last week, it's fairly close.

Rates are based on movement in the bond market. Bonds were most likely to move in response to one or both of today's big economic reports. Oddly enough, most of the bond market improvement was seen overnight, BEFORE the economic data came out. Nonetheless, the data definitely didn't hurt.

News flash: TODAY'S HOUSING MARKET HAS NEARLY 37% MORE SELLERS THAN BUYERS.

The latest data shows a major imbalance in the housing market. In October, there were 36.8% more home sellers than buyers—the largest gap recorded since 2013, according to Redfin. With more than 10% more sellers than buyers, the market is technically considered a buyer’s market, a trend that’s been in place since May. In fact, the gap has stayed above 30% since April.

But “buyer’s market” doesn’t always mean buyers are in a strong position. Affordability remains the biggest hurdle. Buyer activity dropped another 1.7% last month to just 1.44 million—near record lows outside of early COVID. Even sellers are starting to pull back, falling 0.5% from September, marking the fifth straight month of declines.

High mortgage rates and rising prices are keeping both first-time and repeat buyers on the sidelines. Meanwhile, many sellers still need to move due to life changes—job relocations, divorce, or financial pressure.

This mismatch is creating a gap in expectations: sellers want top dollar, while buyers focus on monthly affordability. According to the majority of agents, buyers often win negotiations right now simply because they have more options—and some sellers are getting eager to make a deal happen.

Call me to explain what it means to you and your present or futulre local market.

FEDERAL RESERVE CHAIR JEROME POWELL HINTS AT RATE CUT IN SEPTEMBER.

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell signaled Friday that an interest rate cut could come as soon as September, a move that may help boost the housing market. Speaking at the Jackson Hole symposium, Powell acknowledged inflation remains sticky at 2.7% but noted that the labor market is softening, a sign the economy may need support. While the Fed doesn’t directly set mortgage rates, its actions often influence them, and a rate cut could help ease borrowing costs. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate currently averages 6.58%, its lowest point this year after four consecutive weeks of declines.

For homebuyers, lower rates could bring improved affordability at a time when housing inventory is finally on the rise. Homes.com reports that listings in July climbed 26% year-over-year, surpassing pre-pandemic levels, while price growth continues to moderate. With more than 1.4 million homes for sale and median prices holding at $393,000, a shift in interest rates could give today’s sluggish housing market the push it needs. Experts believe lower rates would encourage buyers back into the market, while also providing a boost to the broader economy and job market.
