Here’s what I saw in Q1:
• Mortgage rates dipped into the low 6% range
• Some days even touched 5.8%
• Mortgage applications started picking up again !!
• Buyers who paused in 2023 and 2024 are checking numbers again
Most forecasts for 2026 expect mortgage rates to hover around the mid-5% to low-6% range. Not a dramatic drop. But enough movement to bring buyers back to the table.
If buying this year is somewhere on your radar, the smartest place to start is simply understanding your numbers.
