12.18.23 Mortgage Rates “Winds of Change” Give Renters Hope To Buy
———————-
We follow the rate drop and down to Reno Mark Listening to the wind – of change.

Mortgages reached our target of 7% because the Fed acknowledged the need to reduce its policy restraint, and the radical climate agenda failed at COP28.

Near term, without any fresh data to feed the feeding frenzy, look for a correction to 7% mortgage rates that hit 6 5/8. In 2024, expect a drop to 5.5 depending on deflation exported from China. The big change in rates gives hope to renters to buy.

Where homebuyers of tomorrow dream away (dream away) in the Wind Of Change.
