Mortgage Rates Expected to Move Lower in 2025 and 2026 - Federal National Mortgage (OTC:FNMA)

  • In 2025, the National Association of Realtors , with Lawrence Yun as Chief Economist, anticipates a positive trend in the housing market with mortgage rates averaging 6.4%.
  • This forecast is influenced by the Federal Reserve's anticipation of slower economic growth, which typically puts downward pressure on rates, alongside an expected moderation in price growth due to increased market supply.
  • NAR predicts a 6% increase in existing-home sales and a 10% rise in new-home sales for 2025, coupled with a 3% increase in the national median home price.
  • While rates are easing slightly, high national debt is expected to prevent mortgage rates from dramatically decreasing, and a return to the 4%-to-5% range experienced during the Trump administration's first term is unlikely.
  • The NAR Quarterly Forecast suggests a path towards a more sustainable and balanced housing market with moderation in price growth being a welcome change to improve affordability and long-term stability.
