Mortgage rates moved up slightly this week, but the bigger picture matters more than a single headline.
Current averages:
30-year fixed: 6.51%
15-year fixed: 5.85%
Even with recent movement, rates are still below where they were this time last year, and buyer activity continues to depend on affordability, inventory, and overall market confidence.
The market is always shifting.
That is why understanding your options and timing matters more than chasing the “perfect” rate.
If you want to talk through what today’s market actually means for your situation, let’s connect.
