📉 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.

🎯 The Smart Move? Start Your Mortgage Prep NOW
Even if you’re not planning to buy this month or even this year, taking steps today could set you up to win tomorrow.

Here’s why:

You’ll understand your budget clearly when the time comes.
You’ll have a lender relationship in place and know what paperwork is needed.
You’ll avoid the stress of rushing when your dream home finally hits the market.
🚨 Most Buyers Wait Too Long
Let’s be honest—most people wait until the last second to get their financing in order. The result? Missed opportunities, costly mistakes, and a whole lot of scrambling.

âś… Have a mortgage game plan
âś… Know their numbers
âś… Are ready to act the moment opportunity knocks
