Freddie Mac reports the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage decreased to 6.48%, down from 6.53% last week. While rates remain elevated compared to where many buyers would like them to be, this week's decline is a reminder that mortgage rates don't move in a straight line.

The biggest mistake we see buyers make? Waiting for a perfect rate before exploring their options.
A small change in rate can help affordability, but there are often other strategies available too—such as seller concessions, temporary buydowns, and choosing the right loan program for your situation. The key is understanding your numbers before making a decision.
Whether you're a first-time buyer, moving up, downsizing, or investing, we're here to help you understand what today's market means for your goals.
