🏠 Inflation is cooling – and that’s a good sign for mortgage rates. As the rate of inflation gets closer to the Fed's target of 2%, they may lower the Federal Funds Rate. When they do, mortgage rates are likely to respond. But this isn't the only factor at play.

Do high prices at the gas pump and grocery store have you worried more people are going to fall behind on their mortgage payments?
