Mortgage rates in the US have fallen following a ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran, but economists warn that the housing market still faces significant challenges. The decline in mortgage rates may be temporary, and uncertainty remains due to high gas prices and inflationary concerns.
Mortgage rates fell after a US-Iran ceasefire agreement. The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped from 6.44% to 6.38%.

The spring housing market faces challenges like higher mortgage rates and economic uncertainty. Inflation reports may also cause mortgage rates to trend higher.
