York County's economy just got a fresh check-up from the York County Economic Alliance, and the labor market news is strong: labor force participation hit an all-time high in the second quarter, employment continues to rise, and the unemployment rate is showing signs of stabilizing. Consumer spending is holding up too, even as sentiment has softened a bit. The report also flagged something we see every day in this business — housing affordability remains a real challenge for local families. A strong local job market is good news for buyers building toward homeownership, and it's exactly the kind of data we watch closely here in York and Lancaster Counties.

Rates held nearly steady this week! 📊 Freddie Mac's latest survey shows the 30-year fixed averaging 6.66% and the 15-year fixed at 5.98% — both just a hair above last week's numbers. (You may have also seen a slightly higher rate from Wednesday's mortgage applications data — that's a different survey with its own methodology; Freddie Mac's PMMS is the benchmark most lenders quote.) For our York and Lancaster County buyers., that kind of stability means predictable payments while you shop, and for sellers, steady rates keep qualified buyers active in the market. If you're weighing your options right now, we're happy to run the numbers with you and show what today's rate means for your specific budget.
