Mortgage Rates & COVID-19: Where Are We Now?

With all the uncertainty COVID-19 brings, it does seem to at least be positively impacting the real estate market.

Average daily rates have dropped to a new low of 3.09% as of May 15th – and real estate professionals believe they’ll dip even lower. Realtor.com’s Chief Economist, Danielle Hale, explains, “We expect mortgage rates to stay low and possibly slip lower. We’ll flirt with the 3% threshold for a while before we go below it.”

Similar to Fannie Mae’s May forecast – Hale also believes rates will fall to 2.9% by the end of 2020.

This all depends, however, on how COVID-19 continues to impact the economy.
