Mortgage Rates Just Dropped: Here’s What It Means for Sellers

Mortgage Rates Dip Below 6.5%, Here’s Why It Matters

For the first time in months, 30-year fixed mortgage rates briefly dipped below 6.5%. That small shift may not sound dramatic, but in real estate, even a fraction of a percent can jolt the market.

Here’s what we’re already seeing:

• More pre-approvals being issued. Buyers who were sitting on the sidelines are suddenly re-engaging.

• Higher showing activity. South Shore listings that were quiet two weeks ago are seeing fresh traffic.

• Stronger offers. A lower rate can add hundreds of dollars in buying power, and buyers know it.

For sellers, this is a reminder that timing is everything. When mortgage rates ease (even temporarily) buyers move quickly. If you’ve been thinking about selling, this window could give you a sharper edge before rates swing again.

I’m watching this shift closely, and my strategy is designed to help you maximize leverage in these moments. If you’d like to know how this impacts your home specifically, hit reply, I’ll break it down for you.
