Interest rates continue to be top-of-mind, but here's the thing:
A lot of homebuyers feel like mortgage rates have been at an all-time high, but history tells a different story. According to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates were much higher in the early 1980s, averaging over 16% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage at their peak.
Today's market rates may be higher than what we saw a few years ago, but they're still well below historic highs. Looking at the bigger picture could help you understand today's marketing and make confident homebuying decisions.
Plus, you might be able to qualify for a lower rate than the market's. If this sounds interesting, reach out to me today!
