Q. Where will 30 year mortgage rates be in 12 months?
A. No one knows for sure where interest rates will be this time next year. However, home buyers are wondering if they should take advantage of the current market and buy now or should they wait.
If you survey The National Association of Realtors, Freddie Mac, Freddie Mae and The Mortgage Bankers Association, they all have their own hypothesis. These leading analysts are projecting that mortgage rates will be between 4.6% and 5.2% by 3rd quarter next year.
If you look at mortgage rates by decade, even with rising interest rates, we can currently buy a home at a better interest rates than anyone in the last 4 decades. In the 70’s interest rates averaged 8.86%, in the 80’s they were 12.7%, in the 90’s they averaged 8.12% and in the 2000’s they were 6.29%.
So, according to historic findings and the leading analysts projections, interest rates will be higher in 12 months. The good news is that they will still be lower than the last 4 decades before this.
