Homeowners, Homebuyers, and Mortgage Rates…Good News, Bad News Scenario…
A mortgage market shift means fewer borrowers are benefitting from ultra-low mortgage rates that have somewhat normalized since Fed tightening began in September.
According to FHFA data, only 73.3% of U.S. mortgage borrowers now enjoy rates below 5.0%, a significant decline from Q1 2022 when 85.5% benefited from lower rates.
This shift highlights the impact of rising interest rates on homeowners.
