Summer 2025 Edition | Mortgage Works Corp — Helping You Move Home with Confidence
As the temperature rises, so does activity in the housing market. But unlike the overheated frenzy of recent years, summer 2025 is shaping up to be a calmer, more balanced time to buy a home—and possibly one of the best windows we’ve seen in a while.
Here’s what makes the next few months a potentially smart time to make your move:
📉 Mortgage Rates Are Stabilizing — and Could Dip Lower
After a period of rising and unpredictable rates, we’re now seeing signs of stability in the mortgage market. According to the latest data, interest rates are trending slightly downward, with the average 30-year fixed rate hovering below 7% for the first time in several months.
✅ What it means for buyers: Locking in a mortgage rate now—before any fall market shifts or unexpected economic changes—can protect your monthly payments and save you money long term. Even a small rate difference can add up to thousands in savings over the life of your loan.
🏘️ More Homes on the Market = More Choices (and More Negotiation Power)
Summer is traditionally when we see a bump in listings—and this year is no exception. Inventory is increasing, but buyer activity remains steady—not frenzied. This gives buyers more options, more time to think, and more leverage when negotiating.
💡 Bonus Tip: Homes that have been sitting on the market since spring may be ripe for price reductions or motivated seller incentives, such as covering closing costs or offering home warranties.
📦 Sellers Are Motivated to Close Before Fall
Many sellers list in summer with a clear timeline in mind: they want to move before the new school year or colder months begin. That motivation can translate into faster closings and better deals for buyers.
🛠️ Pro Tip: Look for listings that say “must sell” or “motivated seller”—they often come with room for negotiation or flexible terms.
🧊 Summer Homeowner Tips: Stay Cool and Save Big
If you're already a homeowner—or planning to be one soon—here are a few timely tips:
Schedule an HVAC tune-up before peak heat hits. A well-maintained system runs more efficiently and lasts longer.
Upgrade insulation and seal gaps around windows/doors to improve cooling performance.
Ask about green mortgage options that include energy efficiency upgrades in your loan.
