๐ก๐ Could lower mortgage rates change your homebuying plans?
According to the California Association of REALTORSยฎ, the 2026 housing forecast projected an average 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.0%, compared with approximately 6.6% in 2025.
Lower rates could improve affordability and increase purchasing power. But there's another side to the story: more buyers may enter the market, potentially increasing competition.
Remember, these figures are forecasts, not guaranteed rates or confirmed 2026 outcomes.
๐ก The best time to buy isn't just about finding the lowest rate. It's about finding the right home at a price and monthly payment that work for you.
