Navigating the Evolving Housing Market: What Lower Mortgage Rates Mean for You in 2026

As we move into 2026, the housing market is showing signs of positive shifts, largely due to the trend of falling mortgage rates. According to Freddie Mac, the average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.24% in November, its lowest level in over a year. This is a slight decrease from October and marks a significant year-over-year drop as well.

Impact on Homebuyers and Homeowners

The decline in mortgage rates has already had a noticeable effect on the housing market. Mortgage applications are on the rise, particularly in adjustable-rate mortgages and refinancing. In fact, existing home sales surged to an eight-month high in October, reflecting the growing confidence among buyers.
