2020 Real Estate Market Keeps Breaking Records Reasons

Mortgage rates fell to a new low last week, marking the twelfth time this year they smashed a record. The average interest rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 2.78%, according to Freddie Mac, and the 15-year fixed-rate mortgage fell to 2.32%. Incredibly, these rates may not be the lowest we will see over the next year. Some economists predict rates could fall even lower over the next 6 to 9 months if the Federal Reserve continues to prop up the economy and Treasury prices remain low.2

An older television can make buyers think about the age of other appliances, remove outdated sets before showing the house.3
