The Federal Reserve cut rates, aiming to rejuvenate the sluggish real estate market, where high mortgage rates previously paralyzed homebuyers and sellers.
After hitting a peak mortgage rate of 7.79% in October 2023, rates have dropped to 6.2%, the lowest since February 2023.
If mortgage rates fall to 6%, US buyers could have an additional $9,000 in purchasing power, and with a 5.5% rate, it could be $34,000.
The top 10 metros that will see the largest dollar increase in buying power are primarily the country's highest-priced areas, according to Hannah Jones.
