Description

Mortgage rates are dropping, home prices are easing, and theres more supply on the market, boosting affordability for homebuyers. However, saving for a down payment remains a challenge. Nationally, home prices are flat compared to a year ago, with some cities seeing gains and others posting drops. Prices are also lagging behind inflation, and the average thirty-year fixed mortgage rate has fallen to six point one nine percent. This means monthly payments for a typical home are now about two hundred dollars less than a year ago. Homeownership rates have dropped, but buyers are responding to lower rates, rising wages, and more inventory, with pending home sales jumping to the highest in nearly three years.
