Many experts predicted multiple rate cuts in 2024 at the beginning of the year, but that outlook has now changed, according to bankrate.com. Fixed mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury yield, which fluctuates with the economy, inflation, and Federal Reserve decisions. On May 1, the Fed decided not to cut rates, with the following announcement expected on June 12. Dick Lepre of RealFinity notes that markets anticipate only one rate cut for the rest of 2024, with rates remaining flat. Despite market conditions, buying a home often depends on personal needs, and it might be wiser to buy now and refinance later to start building equity.

All rate data is accurate as of June 3, 2024, at 7:30 a.m. ET.
