"The expectation on our model right now is that by the fourth quarter of 2024, we think the 30-year fixed rate mortgage will have declined to about a 6.5% rate. We're looking for mortgage rates just below 6% by the time we get to the middle of 2025. In our current forecast, mortgage rates peaked around late October of 2023, near 8%. This is higher than what we expected."
