Summary
Mortgage rates just hit their lowest in over a month, dropping to 6.54%—a welcome relief after hovering near 6.68%. The dip follows easing tensions with Iran, which cooled oil prices and Treasury yields, making borrowing cheaper. While still higher than pre-conflict levels, this drop could finally spur more sellers to list, especially those worried about locking into steep new rates. Homebuyers are watching closely—this could be the turning point they’ve been waiting for. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
