May 2025 Mortgage and Real Estate Update: Trends, Volatility, and What’s Ahead

In May, the mortgage market experienced notable fluctuations, with rates responding to economic indicators like inflation and employment data. The 30-year fixed mortgage rate hovered around 6.5-6.8%, reflecting ongoing uncertainty in the bond market. Housing demand remained resilient in key markets, though affordability challenges persisted for first-time buyers. Inventory levels showed slight improvement, but competition for desirable properties kept prices elevated in many regions.

Looking ahead to June, expect continued volatility as the Federal Reserve monitors economic signals. Potential rate stabilization could emerge if inflation cools, offering opportunities for buyers and refinancers.
