Mortgage Rates Decrease to Lowest Level in Over a Year

by

October 23, 2025
Mortgage rates continued to trend down this week, hitting their lowest level in over a year. At the start of 2025, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage surpassed 7%, while today it hovers nearly a full percentage point lower. This dynamic has kept refinancings high, accounting for more than half of all mortgage activity for the sixth consecutive week.

Rising housing costs have led many young adults to delay moving out of their parents’ homes. According to the 2023 American Community Survey (ACS), 19.2% of adults aged 25 to 34 lived with a parent or parent-in-law in 2023—approximately 8.5 million people. Although down from a peak of 22% in 2017-2018, the share of young adults living with parents remains elevated compared to 2000, when fewer than 12% did so.

Nationally, the best time to buy a home is the week of October 12–18, according to a recent report from Realtor®.com. Historically, this week offers the most favorable conditions for buyers, with higher inventory levels, lower home prices, reduced competition, and a slower market pace. However, the optimal buying window varies across local markets. Some areas have already experienced peak buyer conditions, while others may not reach their ideal period until November or December.
