A historical perspective
This article was published after the first quarter of 2026. It is market commentary for that period, not a current rate update. Unsourced numerical or directional market assertions have been removed in this editorial revision.
Read the measures separately
Mortgage rate surveys, existing-home sales and listing inventory measure different things and use different dates. Compare consistent periods and definitions before drawing conclusions about your market.
Translate context into a budget
Use current written pricing and property-specific information for an actual decision. A sustainable payment, realistic cash to close and a suitable loan structure matter more than a forecast alone.
