flag U.S. mortgage rates dipped slightly in early February 2026, but home sales remain low due to affordability and inventory issues.

flag The average U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rate eased to 6.09% in early February 2026, down slightly from 6.11% the prior week, according to Freddie Mac, returning to levels from three weeks earlier. flag The 15-year fixed rate also dropped to 5.44%. flag The decline followed a drop in the 10-year Treasury yield. flag Despite the slight rate decrease, home sales remain near 30-year lows due to affordability issues, low inventory, and many homeowners staying put with low-rate mortgages. flag The Federal Reserve paused rate cuts in January, and economists expect rates to hold near 6% for now.
