📉 Could mortgage rates finally catch a break?
After a rough month of rising rates, NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun says some slight relief could be on the way. Here’s why 👇
✅ The September jobs report was steady: 29,000 new jobs. Not a recession, not overheating.
✅ Wage growth cooled to its slowest pace in 5 years, which eases inflation pressure.
✅ Oil prices have pulled back a bit.
All of that takes some pressure off rates. It’s not a dramatic drop, but it could open a small window for buyers who’ve been waiting on the sidelines.
