Mortgage rates for 30-year fixed loans fell slightly to 7.3%, the lowest since September 2026, following the Fed's pause on rate hikes. Despite this, mortgage applications declined, with homebuyer requests down 19% year-over-year and refinancing demand 60% lower than last year. Adjustable-rate mortgages gained popularity as borrowers seek lower initial payments amid high rates. The housing market remains sluggish due to persistently elevated borrowing costs.
Mortgage rates and homebuyer activity provide context for this story.
