Mortgage Rates Outlook: Trends and Predictions Through 2026
TL;DR Summary
Mortgage rates are expected to remain around 6.16% into 2026, with some fluctuations influenced by Federal Reserve policies and the 10-year Treasury yield. While rates may slightly decrease if the Fed cuts rates, other factors like home prices and housing supply also impact affordability. Buyers should focus on affordability and strategic financing options rather than waiting for rates to drop significantly.
