Mortgage Rates Hit 3-Year Low as US Housing Payments Fall

Rocket Companies Inc. highlighted improving U.S. homebuying affordability as mortgage rates fell to 6.01%, the lowest level since September 2022, pushing the median monthly housing payment down to $2,599, according to a Redfin report. Despite the rate relief and roughly 4% higher wages, demand remains soft: pending home sales dropped 5.5% year over year and new listings fell 2.8%, with buyers held back by rising prices, economic uncertainty and severe winter weather.
