Why You Should ACT NOW on Low Rates
In life, mortgages, and real estate, we often think about the grass being greener on the other side.
At times, we all get the impulse to push the boundaries of a great situation, hoping our risk taking will be rewarded with greener pastures or financial gains.
2019 has brought us some of the lowest rates we’ve seen in years, and yet, it still has many potential buyers wanting to hold off until 2020 to see if they get even better. But, we’re here to tell you to ACT NOW!
A year ago, several mortgage experts predicted higher mortgage rates in 2019. Some even thought we’d see them spike into the 5’s. As we all know, that didn’t happen. Second, it goes to show you that even the experts can get it wrong, and sometimes these things can just be too hard to predict.
For 2020, a lot of those same experts are optimistic. They believe that continuing trade wars and an unstable economy will help keep rates sub-4% throughout the year. Below you can see six top agencies all having similar positive predictions.
| Agency | 30-yr rate prediction for 2020 |
|---|---|
| NAR | 3.6% |
| NAHB | 3.9% |
| MBA | 3.9% |
| Freddie Mac | 3.7% |
| Fannie Mae | 3.6% |
| Wells Fargo | 3.55% |
| Average of all agencies | 3.7% |
