Interests Rates Lower/Open Houses
LOWER INTEREST RATES
Home buyers should be able to take advantage of lower rates and increasing inventory. Interested in what you can afford?
The Bullet Points are:
- Home Interest rates are now to 6.94% this week following some minor but still encouraging signs that inflation is easing.
- The housing inventory continues to rise, although it remains well below pre-pandemic levels.
- The higher interest rate slowed the existing and new home sales in April.
Homebuyers who've been holding out this spring may have some late-season opportunities as interest rates decline and inventory in many areas continues to climb.
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped below 7% this week, to an average 6.94% this week.
The 15-year fixed-rate also dipped, averaging 6.24% this week.
