Welcome to our monthly real estate insights, where we bring you the latest updates that matter to sellers and buyers – Let’s dive in!

Mortgage Rate Drop Spurs Buyer Interest

September brings great news for potential buyers: mortgage rates across the U.S. have hit their lowest point of the year. 

The 15-year fixed rate is now 6.20%  and the 30-year fixed rate has decreased to 5.27%—a drop of nearly 19% from last year. This significant drop in rates could be the perfect window of opportunity for those buyers who’ve been waiting on the sidelines.

With more buyers entering the market, this could help jumpstart movement in what has been a slower summer for home sales.
