Anticipated Interest Rate Cuts May Lower Mortgage Rates: A Prime Opportunity for Buyers and Sellers

Goldman Sachs economists now predict that the Federal Reserve will implement three quarter-point interest rate cuts in 2025, scheduled for July, September, and November. This adjustment from their earlier forecast of two cuts reflects evolving economic conditions. ​

In response to these anticipated cuts, mortgage rates have already experienced a slight decline. Goldman Sachs Research projects that 30-year fixed mortgage rates will decrease to approximately 6.3% by the end of 2025, enhancing affordability for prospective homebuyers. 

This potential reduction in mortgage rates is expected to stimulate increased activity in the housing market. Goldman Sachs forecasts a 4.4% rise in U.S. home prices in 2025, up from a previous estimate of 3.2%, indicating a robust and competitive market. ​
