Keep year-end commentary dated
Originally published December 29, 2025, this article concerns planning into 2026. It does not describe the market as 2025 approaches or provide a current rate quote.
Short-term movements are uncertain
Market participation and incoming economic information can affect pricing. A short period of improvement does not establish a sustained rate trend. Compare dated measures from the same source.
Prepare for the next step
Review your budget, documents and transaction timing with a mortgage professional. Ask about actual pricing, costs and any rate-lock requirements rather than relying on a year-end headline.
