2026 Mortgage Update: Lower Rates, ARMs Return, and When to Refi

On The Market

Rental property financing is becoming much easier. For years, seven and eight-percent rates made it brutal to make deals work. But now, things are changing—for the better. Mortgage rates in the five-percent range? HELOCs with no closing costs? Seller concessions to buy down your interest rate, and a smoother path to affordable properties? It's all culminating in 2026, and this could be one of the best years in recent memory to get a mortgage for a rental property. Today, we're talking to Jeff Welgan, who's spent 22 years in the mortgage industry, and is bringing good news. Thought those ARM (adjustable-rate mortgage) loans were left behind in 2008? Safer, cheaper, and more flexible ARM loans are available to investors. With lower rates and longer fixed-rate periods, they could be the perfect option as mortgage rates continue to decline. Jeff also shares how you can get a HELOC with no closing costs, so you don't have to give up that rock-bottom mortgage rate you secured in 2020. Plus, when to refinance, how low rates could go, and whether you still should buy down your rate in 2026. In This Episode We Cover Jeff's 2026 mortgage rate prediction and the “range” he thinks rates will stay in Are ARMs back? Why adjustable-rate mortgages are cheaper, safer, and better for investors Should you pay down your interest rate? When Jeff says it is (and isn't) worth it Why the mortgage industry's cycle is about to end, and investors must be careful  Got a high mortgage rate? This is when you should think about refinancing And So Much More!

What should you know as we head into summer of 2024? The state of the mortgage industry has been a little crazy to say the least. The rates have stayed high relative to the 3% interest rates we knew just a couple of years ago. Well to answer all these questions and more,[...]

The Federal Reserve's ongoing effort to curb inflation by raising interest rates is having a ripple effect throughout the economy, especially in the housing market. We'll talk with Dale Vermillion about that today on MoneyWise. Dale Vermillion is the author of Navigating The Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home. Dale Vermillion notes that interest rates are on the rise. They've risen 2 points from just six months ago, now above 5% for a conventional 30-year fixed. A Freddie Mac mortgage is also above 5%. A year ago they were at about 2.8%. Rates continue to fluctuate, and of course, those rates don't include fees and other costs WHERE ARE RATES GOING FROM HERE? Vermillion says we may have seen the worst of inflation this year with regard to mortgages. Many analysts say we can expect 30-year, fixed-mortgage rates to stay between 5 and 6% for the rest of the year. SHIFTING HOME VALUES The average home's value is up 16% from last year and 45% since July 2019. But the housing market explosion is cooling off. The average home value dropped just a tick in July, down .1%. That doesn't seem like a lot, it was the first monthly decline in a decade. Mortgage applications are down too, by about 2%. Home prices haven't declined much yet, but sales are down. Bidding wars aren't as common as they were earlier this year, and sellers may soon have to back away from demanding top dollar. Several factors influence home values and sales, not just mortgage rates. They include: ● The economy: Some parts of the US economy remain quite strong. ● Plenty of jobs are still being produced. ● The demand for housing remains fairly high. ● The US housing market still faces an inventory shortage. IS NOW A GOOD TIME TO BUY? Now may be a better time than just a couple of months ago. However, you still have to make sure that a higher mortgage rate is within your budget. Always follow biblical principles concerning debt, and make sure you have a 20% downpayment to avoid paying private mortgage insurance. Learn more about Dale Vermillion at DaleVermillion.com. On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ● Is it necessary to pay tithe on Social Security? ● What should prioritize: IRS debt or credit card debt? ● How should you determine financial priorities? ● Is it wise to put money in something that isn't FDIC insured?
