It's good news for some buyers because they'll feel more confident buying a house with a mortgage rate that starts in the fives versus the 6% range.
That said, so much of it right now in this market is more of a psychological thing.
Yes, you have real savings the lower the mortgage rate goes.
However, there's a lot of things stopping buyers from buying a house.
If you are worried about an environment where people are losing their jobs, that sense of uneasiness about this economy is holding a lot of people back.
Also, owning a home has become increasingly expensive.
It's not just the mortgage rate.
Home insurance keeps going up in so many areas of the country, along with property taxes.
We still have really high home prices as well.
What you could actually see happen in certain areas is home prices going up because of this drop in mortgage rates.
That's also tough for buyers because there isn't a whole lot of supply in certain markets.
