Some more homeowners are finally making their move, even if it means giving up that 3% mortgage.
Data from the FHFA shows the share of homeowners with rates under 3% is shrinking slightly, while more are taking on rates above 6%. Sure, some of the people with rates above 6% are first-time buyers, but others are people just like you who decided to move anyways.
Why? Because life doesn’t wait for perfect timing. Families grow, jobs change, priorities shift, and a house that once fit perfectly may not fit at all anymore.
And with mortgage rates easing from earlier highs and forecast to dip slightly more in 2026, moving is becoming a little easier again.
If you’ve been holding off, maybe it’s time to ask: Is your low rate worth staying somewhere that no longer fits your life?
