A recent report from Realtor.com says 20% of Americans donโ€™t think homeownership is achievable.

Letโ€™s face it โ€” buying a home can feel like a challenge with todayโ€™s mortgage rates.

Mortgage rates edged slightly higher last week, but the changes were minimal and not cause for major concern. There was little economic data to influence rates, and the Trump administration has yet to implement the tariffs that previously raised market concerns.

This week rates could see significant movement. The Fed meeting and Chair Powell's press conference are expected to have the biggest impact, with additional attention on the first release of Q4 GDP and PCE inflation data later in the week.

- The Fed: The Fed meeting concludes on Wednesday, with expectations the Fed will leave its policy rate unchanged after three consecutive cuts. The policy statement will be released at 2 PM ET, but Fed Chair Powellโ€™s press conference afterward is likely to have a greater effect on mortgage rates. Any indication of continued rate cuts could lead to lower mortgage rates, while signs the Fed has paused rate cuts could push rates higher.
- Economic data: While secondary to the Fedโ€™s decisions, economic data releases later this week - such as Q4 GDP and PCE inflation - may still cause rate fluctuations.

โœ… Rates are not likely to drop significantly anytime soon. Although we see rates move up and down week-to-week, rates are not likely to drop and stay lower until later this year.

โœ… Home prices never fell like some people thought they would, because there continues to be a shortage in home inventory. When rates drop, lots of potential buyers will come back into the market, making it more competitive and driving home prices higher.

โœ… Buying now when rates are higher will likely give you more homes to choose from and help get your offer accepted. Once you own the home, you may be able to refinance when rates do fall later this year.

Last year, as many as 1 in 3 sellers took their home off the market because it wasnโ€™t selling.ย

Itโ€™s no secret that affordability is tough with where mortgage rates and home prices are right now.ย

Thereโ€™s one big mistake you need to avoid when you sell your house this year: setting your price too high.

01/21/2025

Today, 17% of homebuyers are choosing multi-generational homes โ€” thatโ€™s when you buy a house with your parents, adult children, or even distant relatives.

Itโ€™s easy to get caught up in the idea of waiting for the perfect moment to make your move โ€“ especially in todayโ€™s market.

Rates were helped last week after inflation data came in slightly better than expected. Fed Governor Waller added to the optimism in a CNBC interview, suggesting the Fed might implement more policy rate cuts than markets anticipated, and could start cutting sooner.

Although rates only saw modest improvement last week, we sidestepped trouble when the inflation data came in a bit more favorably than was expected. This week starts with a holiday, and has little economic data to help guide mortgage rate movement. After last week's improvements though, we could see rates creep a bit higher this week. Longer term outlook is for rates to remain near these levels.

- Trump inauguration: Trump will be sworn in Monday, and is expected to hit the ground running. We could see some volatility in markets based on the immediate actions taken and executive orders that are implemented.
- The Fed: Markets had a strong reaction last week to comments made by Fed Governor Waller, but we will not be hearing from any Fed members this week as they enter the customary blackout period ahead of January 28th/29th's Fed meeting.

๐Ÿ‘‰ Getting prequalified is the process of providing a mortgage lender with some background information like your credit, income, and expenses so the lender can help you determine how much you can afford and what you are likely to qualify for.

๐Ÿ‘‰ A preapproval, however, means you've provided the lender with proof of your income and assets and had a credit check to determine exactly how much you can be approved for. In some cases, a preapproval can show you are approved for a loan before making an offer, which makes your offer stronger and could help you win a bidding war.
