🏡 Waiting for mortgage rates to drop? Here’s what the experts are saying about the rest of 2026:

Mortgage rates have remained in the mid-6% range this summer, and current forecasts suggest we may not see a dramatic drop before the end of the year.

Fannie Mae is currently forecasting the 30-year fixed mortgage rate to finish 2026 around 6.4%.

So, should buyers wait? Not necessarily.

The right time to buy isn’t always when rates hit a certain number. It’s when the combination of price, monthly payment, inventory and your personal financial situation makes sense.

📊 The 2026 market continues to be a moving target. If you’re considering buying or selling before the end of the year, let’s look at the numbers for your situation rather than waiting on a headline!

🏡 Home-Buying Quick Tips 👇

A little preparation can make the process so much smoother. Here are a few things I recommend before you start your search:

✔️ Discuss your wants, needs & budget with your realtor
✔️ Get pre-approved so you’re ready to make an offer
✔️ Don’t skip the home inspection—it can be well worth it!
✔️ Keep an open mind and explore different homes and areas

The right home may not check every box, so staying flexible can help you discover opportunities you might not have considered! 🏠
