US Mortgage Rates Stay Near 7% | Schedule a meeting today! https://calendar.app.google/DxNYdmSBXLTQXraFA

Current US borrowing costs stayed elevated, with the avg. 30-yr fixed mortgage near 7% and the 15-yr fixed near ~6% after recent moves.
Experts expected limited relief soon, and a housing forecast saw 30-yr rates near mid-6% by late 2026, staying in low-6% territory through 2027.
Short-term rate policy had stayed unchanged through 2026, while mortgage pricing tracked the 10-yr Treasury more closely, which recently held above 4.5%.
The affordability takeaway was practical: don't wait only for meaningfully lower mortgages, because rates are one part of buying costs and supply still matters.
Suggested ways to adapt included budget-testing payments, exploring condos or fixer-uppers, considering 15-yr loans, and using rate buydowns when monthly costs fit.
