When average mortgage rates trend downward, it usually prompts homeowners to consider refinancing or sellers to list.
 
The 30-year fixed home loans fell to 5.98% on Feb. 26, plunging to their lowest level in more than three years. Many experts believe that in 2026, the downward trend will continue, including the Realtor.com
® economic research team, which projects mortgage rates to stay near their current rate throughout 2026.
