Across the country, experts call this a “tale of two markets”:
- South & West: More inventory and price cuts are giving buyers leverage.
- Northeast & Midwest (including PA): Still tighter, though slowly shifting toward balance.
- Mortgage rates have been stable all summer, which is good news for buyers and sellers alike.
📉 Mortgage Rates – As of September 10, 2025 (Bankrate)
- 30-year fixed (purchase): 6.46%
- 15-year fixed (purchase): 5.66%
