Inflation has cooled somewhat, but homebuyers still face high prices and rates. At the close of the June 12 Fed meeting, policymakers held off on changing interest rates, maintaining a higher-for-longer stance. Dr. Selma Hepp, chief economist at CoreLogic, believes this stance will become untenable as American households reduce spending and unemployment rises, possibly leading to rate cuts later this year. However, home buying is often personal and not solely based on economic conditions. Depending on individual circumstances, it might make sense to accept a higher rate now and refinance later to start building equity.

All rate data is accurate as of June 27, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. ET.
