Interest Rates Fall to 3 Year Low

The Fed finally announced the anticipated 25-basis point cut today, but here’s what many don’t realize: mortgage rates had already fallen to 6.13%—a 3-year low.

What does this mean for home sellers:

Lower rates are pulling more buyers off the sidelines, creating stronger demand for well-priced homes. In today’s market, buyers are motivated and inventory is shifting quickly.

What this means for home buyers:

That means homes are suddenly more affordable than they’ve been in years. In some areas where inventory is tight, well-priced homes are moving quickly. In others where inventory is higher, buyers like you are in the driver’s seat with the ability to negotiate.

Looking Ahead

The Fed has also indicated two more cuts are likely this year. Should you wait? Absolutely not.

Mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury yield, not the Fed rate directly. They can move unpredictably—sometimes even rising after a Fed cut. The best strategy is to act now—position your home to capture buyers who are re-entering the market while demand is climbing.
