US Mortgage Rates Show Signs of Decline, but Remain Above 7% =============== #fd4fc180 ver:0.77 US mortgage rates show signs of decline, but remain above 7%. The average rate on a 30-year mortgage fell to 7.09% from 7.22% last week, the first decrease in four weeks. However, rates are still high, posing challenges for homebuyers. The Federal Reserve is closely monitoring the labor market, and a weakening could prompt rate cuts. Despite higher rates, it may still be a good time to buy a home as rates are historically lower. The cooling labor market could encourage the Fed to lower rates, unleashing pent-up demand. #mortgagerates #housingmarket #FederalReserve... #newstr #MortgageRates #UsHousingMarket #FederalReserve #Homebuyers https://here.news/story/fd4fc180?ver=0.77
