Market Insight:
Mortgage rates are showing signs of stabilization, with the national average 30-year fixed sitting around 7.29%. While rates have experienced some volatility, we’re still seeing improvement compared to the highs earlier this month. The latest Federal Reserve announcement had little immediate impact on mortgage rates, while mortgage-backed securities (MBS) strengthened slightly and the 10-year Treasury yield moved lower. These are encouraging developments, although the market remains sensitive to economic news.
What this means:
Buyers - With rates stabilizing and some sellers becoming more flexible, there may be opportunities to negotiate better terms. Seller concessions, closing cost assistance, and temporary or permanent rate buydowns can help offset higher borrowing costs. It’s worth exploring your options rather than focusing solely on the headline interest rate.
Agents - As we move into November, affordability and creative financing remain important parts of the conversation. Buyers may have more negotiating leverage on certain listings, and utilizing seller concessions or available lender incentives can help structure deals that work for everyone. Keeping buyers fully pre-approved and informed of their financing options remains key.
