Heather Moore+FollowWhy 6% Mortgages Aren’t Sparking a Home RushSo, mortgage rates just dipped to 6.18%—which sounds like a win, but buyers are still on the sidelines.

The real estate market feels more like a waiting room than a shopping spree. If you’re house-hunting, use this lull to negotiate hard or keep saving—don’t feel pressured to jump in just because rates budged. #RealEstate #mortgagerates #homebuying00Share

Ryan Serhant (yep, the reality TV guy) says 2026 could be the year more people start teaming up—think friends, cousins, or even parents and kids buying together.
