Keep short-term observations dated
This April 2026 article is historical commentary. Previously quoted rate changes and sales figures without matching dated source links have been removed in this revision.
Compare consistent rate measures
A weekly survey average and a daily pricing index use different methods and should not be treated as interchangeable observations. A rate change stated in percentage points differs from a percentage change.
Focus on your obligations
Review monthly payment, cash to close, reserves and expected ownership period. A future increase in property value, sale or refinance is uncertain and should not be necessary to make the initial payment affordable.
