Waiting for mortgage rates to drop? You may want to look at the numbers now.
Variable-rate mortgage options remain competitive, while renewed pressure in the bond market is making the outlook for fixed rates less predictable.
So if a home purchase or refinance is already in your plans, don't base the decision only on hopes that rates will be lower later.
Instead, ask:
→ What can I qualify for today?
→ Fixed or variable—which makes more sense for me?
→ Would refinancing actually improve my financial position?
→ What happens to my payment if rates change?
Sometimes the right decision isn't about finding the absolute lowest rate.
It's about having the right mortgage strategy.
