MORTGAGE ALERT (mid-June 2026)
The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averages 6.52%–6.57%, and the 15-year fixed mortgage rate averages 5.84%–5.93%. Interest rates remain in the mid-6% range due to strong employment and stable inflation. The Fed is not expected to lower rates soon. Economists predict that rates may reach the upper end of the 5% range by late 2026. Some volatility is expected, but mid-6% rates should persist for now. Interest from potential homebuyers is rising.

Government Shutdown BREAKING NEWS:
The shutdown of DHS in 2026, due to funding shortages and a dispute over immigration enforcement, is over. Funding has been accomplished and signed into law. However, debates on the lack of cooperation from Sanctuary cities with Federal law enforcement, and the remaining sanctuaries of HUD, VA, USDA, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and the rest of the Federal Funding continue. The ongoing debates will attempt to quantify the impact on Federal employees and the overall economy, as well as the lack of accountability on local and state officials in the sanctuary cities.
