Houston sellers: Rates just hit an 11-month low 📉

Lower payments = more qualified buyers. Here’s why sellers should pay attention.

Something big just happened in Houston real estate: 30-year mortgage rates fell to 6.29% — the lowest level we’ve seen in nearly a year.

Here’s why that’s important if you’re thinking about selling:

🔑 Buyers Can Afford More When rates drop, buyers instantly qualify for larger loans. For example, a buyer who could afford a $400,000 home last month might now be able to afford closer to $425,000 — without spending a penny more each month. That means more competition for homes like yours.

📈 Pent-Up Demand Is Being Released Many buyers have been waiting on the sidelines, watching rates. The moment they see affordability improve, they jump back in. That’s why applications for new mortgages are already climbing.

⏰ This Window May Be Short Rates move quickly — today’s 6.29% could just as easily swing back up in a matter of weeks. Acting while buyers are motivated gives you the advantage.

What this means for you as a seller:

  • Stronger buyer pool ready to purchase

  • Potential for multiple offers if your home is positioned right

  • Faster sales times compared to just a few months ago

If you’ve been waiting for the “right moment,” this could be it. Let’s take a look at what your home could sell for in today’s market — and how we can capture buyer momentum before things shift again.
