2025 Sees Lowest Mortgage Rates

The average rate on a 30-year U.S. mortgage dropped to 6.15%, the lowest in 2025, benefiting home buyers. Mortgage rates are influenced by factors like the Federal Reserve’s decisions and bond market expectations, with the 10-year Treasury yield guiding home loan pricing. Despite Fed rate cuts, affordability remains a challenge, especially for first-time buyers, as home sales have slowed compared to last year. Economists predict 30-year mortgage rates will stay slightly above 6% in the coming year.
