In case you haven’t heard, interest rates recently dropped to as low as 3.5% on a 30-year fixed basis. Just a year ago, they were hovering in the high 4% range and even began inching toward 5%. If you’re a buyer, this means you can buy a $360,000 home right now for the same mortgage payment that you would’ve paid last year for a $300,000 home. Interest rates matter if you’re selling a home as well. Since buyers can afford more, you can sell for more. This is why our market continues to be strong.
