as low as you want them to be, you don’t want to put your needs on the back burner, hoping for
a big drop the data shows isn’t likely to happen.
Of course, things can change. That’s why working with an expert who is keeping an eye on all
the economic factors that can influence mortgage rates is going to be essential this year. That’s

mortgage rates move going forward.
The Takeaway for Homeowners
This market requires strategy, not guesswork. Prices are still rising nationally (just more slowly),
and rates are projected to stay pretty much where they are, so the bigger picture is one of

headlines say – and work with a real estate pro who knows how to navigate the shifting
conditions in our local market.
