What Lower Rates Mean For You

Average 30-year mortgage rates dropped to near 6% in January. For buyers, lower rates mean the same-priced home costs less per month and you can often qualify for a higher price point with the same income. For sellers, it means increased demand, which puts you in a great position for cleaner negotiations and quicker offers.
