📉 Mortgage Rates Expected to Ease in 2025 & 2026—But Here’s the Real Takeaway 👇

Big news for homebuyers: Mortgage rates are projected to decline over the next two years.

According to Fannie Mae, the 30-year fixed rate could:

👉 Drop to around 6.5% (or lower) by the end of 2025
👉 Fall even further to 6.1% by late 2026
Sounds promising, right? It is—but let’s talk about what this actually means for us here in [City].

💡 Lower Rates = Better Affordability… BUT
✔️ Affordability will improve, meaning buyers can qualify for more home without increasing their budget.
✔️ More buyers will re-enter the market, creating a more competitive landscape.
✔️ Home prices may start climbing again as demand grows alongside rate drops.
