Are mortgage rates finally improving? That's the question we're hearing from buyers and sellers all across Phoenix right now, and the answer is a cautious maybe.
Treasury yields have been moving lower, which is giving rates some breathing room. Inflation and energy costs are still pressure points, but home sales have slowed and values are holding steady, which means the market is shifting in ways both buyers and sellers should pay attention to. Our latest Phoenix housing market update breaks down what's happening with rates, activity, and pricing, all in one easy-to-read snapshot.
✔ Buyers: Lower rates can mean more buying power and less competition than we've seen in past years
