Stop waiting! Mortgage rates unlikely to go any lower

September 12, 2020

Mortgage rates have continued to drop in recent months, hitting new all-time lows seemingly every week. And while the average interest rate for a 30-year fixed rate mortgage dropped below 3 percent for much of August and into September, the consistent downward trend could have buyers holding out, waiting for rates to drop even lower. But according to Freddie Mac, mortgage rates are unlikely to drop much further.

“There are some interesting compositional shifts as the 10-year Treasury rate has increased modestly over the past month while mortgage spreads have declined,” says Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s Chief Economist. “Spreads may decline even further but the rise in Treasury rates will make it difficult for mortgage rates to fall much more over the next few weeks.”

If you’ve been holding off on buying a home in hopes that mortgage rates will drop even lower, it looks like that’s unlikely — so now is a great time to make a move and lock in a mortgage at these historically low rates.

"We found Russ to be an excellent Realtor. He was so easy to work with, very professional and thorough. He was always prompt to respond to our calls and emails. We were a bit nervous at first, because we were out of town buyers, but Russ quickly put us at ease. He sent us many potential prospects but he was never pushy. It was so nice to work with someone so honest. We would highly recommend using Russ to anyone who was looking to buy or sell."
