Over the past week, for example, the average mortgage rate ticked up slightly, reaching <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freddiemac.com\/pmms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">2.79%<\/a>. This is still incredibly low compared to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2020\/08\/14\/mortgage-rates-payments-by-decade-infographic\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">trends<\/a> we\u2019ve seen over time. According to <em>Freddie Mac<\/em>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cBorrowers are <strong>smart to take advantage of these low rates now<\/strong> and will certainly benefit as a result.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>Here\u2019s why.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>As mortgage rates rise, the increase impacts the overall <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2020\/09\/22\/the-cost-of-a-home-is-far-more-important-than-the-price\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">cost<\/a> of purchasing a home. The higher the rate, the higher your monthly mortgage payment, especially as home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2021\/01\/11\/what-does-2021-have-in-store-for-home-values\/?a=375140-ca8522ad04357da9549c08492a932f70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">prices<\/a> rise too. Sam Khater, <em>Chief Economist<\/em> at <em>Freddie Mac<\/em>, says:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cThe forces behind the drop in rates have been shifting over the last few months and <strong>rates are poised to rise modestly this year.<\/strong> The combination of rising mortgage rates and increasing home prices will accelerate the decline in affordability and further squeeze potential homebuyers during the spring home sales season.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>What does this mean for buyers?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Right now, the inventory of houses for sale is also at a historic low, making it more challenging than normal to find a home to buy in many areas. As more buyers hit the market in the typically busy spring buying season, it may become even harder to find a home in the coming months. With this in mind, Len Keifer, <em>Deputy Chief Economist<\/em> for <em>Freddie Mac<\/em>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bankrate.com\/mortgages\/mortgage-rate-forecast-for-january-2021\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">recommends<\/a> taking advantage of both low mortgage rates and the opportunity to buy:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you\u2019ve found a home that fits your needs at a price you can afford, <strong>it might be better to act now rather than wait for future rate declines that may never come <\/strong>and a future that likely holds very tight inventory.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>While today\u2019s low mortgage rates provide great opportunities for homebuyers, we may not see them stick around forever.
