Today’s Consumer Price Index confirms that inflation persists, and yet another economic report falls short of expectations. Meanwhile, EGGS are still making headlines—with Easter just around the corner. It seems expert predictions have been off the mark since 2023. I even recall one analyst forecasting 4% mortgage rates on the horizon back then. If you're considering buying or selling a home, here’s some perspective: Since Freddie Mac began tracking rates in 1971, the median 30-year mortgage rate has been 7.37%. So far this year, rates have hovered in the mid-to-high 6% range. People bought homes when rates in the 1980s ranged from 9% to 18%—and they still do today. My advice? Tune out the noise.
