Mortgage Rates Decline While the Home Sales Outlook is at 1-Year Highs

What could be better for homebuyers and sellers than low mortgage rates in a strengthening housing market? That’s the scenario we could experience over the next several months.

Low Mortgage Rates

Not only are mortgage rates low by historic measures, they have declined to 2014 lows over the last few days.

Freddie Mac reported earlier this month that rates for the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage are at 2014 lows, averaging 4.12 percent for the week of August 14.

It’s possible for low mortgage rates to spur home sales, resulting in a strengthening housing market. But could that happen during upcoming months?

Longer Term Home Sales Outlook at 1-Year Highs

Experts are divided over predictions for the housing market, but analysis by Jann Swanson is encouraging.

In an article appearing in Mortgage News Daily, Jann Swanson reports:

Measures of builder confidence in the new home market rose again this month.  The third consecutive monthly increase in the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB)/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index (HMI) brought that metric back to its highest level since January.

Take Away

No one knows for certain what will happen in the future, but low mortgage rates along with signs of a strengthening housing market is good news for homebuyers and sellers.

    Refinancing with Mary an absolute pleasure

     
    Refinancing with Mary has been an absolute pleasure. I have never been through the process before and she took the time to explain each step. She was prompt (had a rate locked in right away) and most importantly always answered the phone or emails almost immediately! The communication line alone made the refinancing process every bit worth it. Would recommend to anyone, and will be back for any future purchases! Bret Brennan, March 2021
