Mortgage Rate Predictions: The Aftermath of a Fed Rate Cut and the Election
Most housing market forecasts imply that mortgage rates will decrease in the last three months of 2024 and continue to fall all next year. But no one has a crystal ball when it comes to the mortgage market. All forecasts are estimates at best.
The Fed Just Cut Rates Again, but Mortgage Rates Keep On Rising
Earlier on Thursday, mortgage rates rose again for the sixth consecutive week, hitting a four-month high of 6.79%, according to Freddie Mac. The Fed's latest rate cut, which was universally expected and thus fully priced in to bond markets, is unlikely to bring relief to mortgage rates in the near term.
