Existing Home Sales Forecast Upgraded Slightly on Lower Rate OutlookWASHINGTON, March 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mortgage rates are now expected to end 2025 and 2026 at 6.3 percent and 6.2 percent, respectively, downward revisions of three-tenths for each, according to the March 2025 commentary from the Fannie Mae (OTCQB: FNMA) Economic and Strategic Research (ESR) Group. The lower mortgage rate outlook resulted in a small upward revision to the ESR Group's existing home sales outlook in 2025, though expectations for total home sales remain subdued. On a Q4/Q4 basis, real gross domestic product (GDP) is now expected to be 1.7 percent in 2025 and 2.1 percent in 2026, modest downward revisions owing to weaker incoming data and greater clarity on trade policy."We expect the recent pullback in mortgage rates will provide a small boost to home sales this year," said Mark Palim, Fannie Mae Senior Vice President and Chief Economist. "While our latest forecast calls for a period of modestly slower economic growth, historically, interest rates have been the most important driver of home sales. We think mortgage rates will move even lower within the next quarter and ultimately close the year at approximately 6.3 percent, which could be low enough to generate some extra sales from any would-be buyers still waiting on the sidelines."Visit the Economic and Strategic Research site at fanniemae.com to read the full March 2025 Economic Outlook, including the Economic Developments Commentary, Economic Forecast, and Housing Forecast.
