The Mortgage Rate “Range” to Expect for the Rest of 2025

Here’s the mortgage rate “range” Dave expects to see through the end of 2025. With so much rate volatility as of late, it’s getting harder and harder to predict when interest rates will rise, fall, stabilize, or go in a completely different direction. Behind all the fluctuations, we can see why this is happening: recession fears, inflation fears, and declining sentiment toward the American economy. There are a few ways future mortgage rates could go, and today, Dave shares his prediction for the 2025 mortgage rate “range.” You want lower mortgage rates, we want lower mortgage rates—everyone wants lower mortgage rates—how do we get there? Dave will spell out the scenario that has to happen for rates to fall, and if you start seeing these warning signs, you might want to prepare. Plus, if the opposite happens, what could cause rates to rise even higher? Finally, Dave shares his plan for investing with fluctuating rates and his strategy for building wealth in a volatile market. In This Episode We Cover The mortgage rate “range” to expect in 2025 (and what’s affecting rates now) Everyone is wrong about the Fed—here’s who actually controls mortgage rates The recession vs. inflation standoff and why the winner will greatly affect your rate The “Sell America” trade that’s putting the American economy under severe pressure How Dave is investing in 2025 and his plan for which properties to buy even with high rates And So Much More!

  This is the mortgage rate range to expect for the rest of 2025. President Trump is feuding with Fed Chair Jerome Powell. Tariffs could cause inflation. Recession risks are rising. Will all this cause mortgage rates to finally fall? Or could they actually go back up? There's a ton of uncertainty right now, but as investors, we all just want to know which way are mortgage rates going to move? So today I'm going to dive into why mortgage rates are changing so much, what might happen next, and what smart moves you can make to protect and grow your portfolio. If you're investing in 2025, or maybe you're just trying to decide if now is a good time to buy, you're going to want to listen to this one.

• 0:47Dave Meyer?

  Hey, what's up everyone? It's Dave, Head of Real Estate Investing at BiggerPockets. And maybe you're like me, and you can remember a time way back when mortgage rates were steady and were only a minor part of being a real estate investor. It feels like a distant dream, right? Because the reality is that nowadays, we need to be thinking about mortgage rates more regularly because there is a lot of volatility in the housing market. And as you probably know, mortgage rates really matter. To me, actually, the direction of basically the entire housing market, including housing prices, the state of sales volume, and pretty much everything else are highly dependent on mortgage rates and the direction that they move in in the coming months.

• 1:29Dave Meyer?

  So it is pretty important that all of us as investors wrap our heads around this. And I think I can help this all make at least some sense. In addition to owning and operating a real estate portfolio for the last 15 years, I'm also a housing market and economic analyst. And I think those skills have given me some advantages in my investing, and I want to pass them along to you, particularly in these types of investing climates. Because right now, we're seeing a pretty big divide between the data and some of the popular narratives about what's happening in the real estate market. And I think you should know the real situation. So here it is.

• 2:10Dave Meyer?

  What you've probably heard in the mainstream media or on social media or from your random cousin. The path forward for mortgage rates is not clear. And yes, I know people have been saying for months or even years, I think that it's just a matter of time before mortgage rates fall. And in a way that is true, but right now there's not a clear timeline on when that will happen. We might actually even see rates go back up for periods in the near future. We're in this super volatile period. Just consider what has happened over the last 12 months. A year ago, rates were about seven and a half. This was last May. Then they dropped all the way down to 6% last August, which was a huge improvement.

• 2:52Dave Meyer?

  But then they just went right back up to 7.25% in January. Then in April, they went back down to 6.6%. Now, as of this recording, they're back up to 7%. It has absolutely been a roller coaster ride. And yeah, it is true that mortgage rates are always moving somewhat. But this level of change, which you might hear me called volatility, is not normal. And not even just from a data perspective. Let's just call it like it is. It is super annoying and frustrating that it is always changing. Cause having high interest rates is one thing, but having higher interest rates and unpredictable interest rates. It's just not fun for real estate investors.

• 3:33Dave Meyer?

  The first thing that you need to know and to remember throughout this episode is that the Fed doesn't set mortgage rates. Let's just say it again. The Fed does not set mortgage rates. This is something that so many people incorrectly assume. The Fed can indirectly influence mortgage rates through the federal funds rate, but they do not control mortgage rates. That is pretty much up to what happens in the bond markets. Bonds and mortgage rates are very closely tied. When yields on bonds go up, so do mortgages. When yields on bonds decline, so do mortgage rates. Just remember that. So the question then becomes, why haven't mortgage rates fallen like people were expecting? Well, it should be simple now.

• 4:15Dave Meyer?

  Bond yields have gone up and there are a lot of complicated reasons for this, but I'll give. You the sort of TLDR version. Bond investors do not like inflation and they do not like instability. When they are afraid of inflation or feel uncertain about the US government's commitments to repay its debts, bond yields rise. And when the opposite is true, like when they are worried about recessions, bond yields tend to fall. And it seems that at least since September, October of 2024, they've been basically oscillating back and forth between inflation fears and recession fears. And they're essentially just taking all of us real estate investors along with them for this wild and frustrating roller coaster ride.

• 4:59Dave Meyer?

  Every time some piece of news comes out or a new policy is implemented, bond investors react. And I think we should be real, they seem very sensitive right now. They all just react and we're basically at their mercy. So that brings us up to speed about how we got to where we are. But everyone wants to know where we're going from here, why Trump and the Fed are fighting right now, and what you should do with your own portfolio.

  Quick word about a new pro perk you'll want to know about. Aven. If you're a homeowner, there's a good chance you're sitting on equity that you're not using. The problem is tapping into that usually means a cash-out refi, a traditional second mortgage, or weeks of paperwork just to get approved. Aven built something different. It's a credit card, but it's backed by your home equity. So you get a lot of the rate benefits of a HELOC with the flexibility of a card you can use anywhere. Rates are typically well below a standard credit card, approval is fast, and mostly online, and you can use it for anything: a renovation, paying down high-interest debt, or just have more breathing room in your budget. And if you're a BiggerPockets Pro member, there's an extra reason to check it out.

• 9:01Dave Meyer?

  Welcome back to the Big Brother Podcast. We're here talking about mortgage rate forecasts. And before we went to the break, we were talking about how we arrived at the point we are today, and how mortgage rates are largely influenced by the whims and the beliefs of bond investors. So then, to figure out what comes next, we basically need to channel our inner bond investors and try to think like them as best that we can. And to me, there are three major narratives that could possibly drive mortgage rates in the coming months. Those are an economic slowdown, which is aka recession, inflation, and this new thing called the "sell America" trade, which I'll explain in just a minute. But let's go through each of these one by one, and we will start with a recession.

• 9:46Dave Meyer?

  Now, I know, people have been claiming a recession is coming for years now, and they have been wrong. But that talk has definitely been increasing of late, with a few key recession indicators starting to flash warning signs. Now, the consensus among economists and Wall Street strategists has shifted sharply in just a couple of months. The IMF cut its UF growth forecast to 1.8%, citing trade tensions and weakening consumer confidence. JP Morgan pegs the probability of a recession at 60%, now up from 40% earlier this year. And Goldman Sachs is about even odds at 45%. So what's driving this? It's definitely a confluence of things.

• 10:28Dave Meyer?

  But I think the most recent fear is because of the aggressive tariffs President Trump has implemented. He himself has said that there could be some short-term pain associated with the changes he's making. We are seeing some generalized slowing of global growth, and there's recent data that points to consumer sentiment and business sentiment taking what I would honestly call a nosedive. It is really going down. Even still, there are a few bright spots, like this labor market is doing surprisingly well. There is some resilience in consumer spending. So we're seeing sort of both sides of the recession picture, and the overall outlook is pretty cloudy. Now, the Fed people still

• 11:09Dave Meyer?

  Think that they're going to cut rates slowly and that could help the risks of a recession. But with inflation risks still lurking, they seem to be hesitant to cut too soon. That has sort of led to this public spat between Trump and the Fed, which we'll talk about in just a little bit. But first, let's talk about the second indicator on bond investors' minds, which is inflation. After the sort of wild ride that we were on in 2022 and the sticky inflation that we just got through in 2023 and 2024, the latest data is pretty encouraging. It shows us that annual inflation has cooled to about 2.4% as of March, and that is down from 2.8% the previous month. This, it's huge progress from where we were a few years ago.

• 11:52Dave Meyer?

  And there are some particular bright spots with energy prices dropping and the very sticky rent and shelter inflation we've talked about a lot on the show, starting to cool off. Let's just be clear here that in terms of the data we have, inflation has been heading in the right direction. But data is obviously inherently backward looking. And there is fear inflation could swing back in the direction no one wants because the policy environment has shifted. Historically, tariffs have led to inflation, and I don't really see a reason why they wouldn't do the same this time around. If it costs companies more to import goods into the US or produce those goods domestically,

• 12:35Dave Meyer?

  they will very likely pass some of those costs on to consumers, and that leads to higher prices, which is inflation. I think most economists are right to think that we will see that upward pressure on prices as the year progresses. Just as an example, Morgan Stanley bumped its 2025 inflation forecast up to 2.5%. Goldman Sachs warns that core PCE inflation could hit 3% if tariffs stick around. So just as a quick summary of inflation, inflation's doing okay right now, but there's worries it could go back up. But no one I've seen, no credible source I've seen, has been predicting some massive hike in inflation to anywhere close to what we saw in 2022 or even 2023. But they're saying we could basically take a step

• 13:19Dave Meyer?

  Or two backwards from the positive trend we've been on over the last couple of years. So those are probably the two big things on bond investors' minds right now. And why mortgage rates are fluctuating is that we have inflation fears. We have recession fears, but we need to talk about the fact that these two fears are existing at the same time, because it's kind of unique. Normally, in an economy, you get either one or the other. You either get a recession or inflation. But the idea that these two things could coexist is a situation called stagflation. And that could create more problems for the economy, but it's also creating this uncertainty about mortgage rates. First and foremost, right? You could probably see, based on what I've said so far, why mortgage rates are swinging.

• 14:01Dave Meyer?

  I said earlier in the show that bond yields, which directly influence mortgage rates, are impacted primarily by the fears of recession and the fears of inflation, and which one is getting worse at a given point in time. So the fact that both of these fears exist makes sort of sense why there's this volatility. But there is sort of more to it than that. This potential for stagflation, or at least the uncertainty around the direction of GDP growth and inflation, have created a difficult situation for the Fed. It means the Fed's hands are somewhat tied. They can't really lower rates for fear of inflation, and they can't raise rates for fear of recessions. It's a tough spot for the Fed or any central bank to be in.

• 14:44Dave Meyer?

  And Fed Chair Jerome Powell has said as much. Now, President Trump disagrees. He thinks rates should come down, and he has said so repeatedly and publicly. But Powell, at least for now, has been holding his ground, despite Trump's public ponderings of whether or not Powell should be fired. So this is why, although you may be hearing that the Fed is going to cut rates, it may not happen. Most economists still think the Fed will cut twice in 2025, but it's not certain, especially if inflation reverses course. But this spat between Powell and Trump, plus the general uncertainty in the economy right now, leads us to our third factor that's influencing mortgage rates, which is the quote unquote "sell America" trade. If you haven't heard this term before,

• 15:29Dave Meyer?

  Sell America trade is a term. It was just recently coined by a Wall Street analyst, but it's sort of been picked up across the financial media. In plain English, the sell America trade is when investors, global investors, dump US assets. This is stocks, bonds, even the dollar in favor of foreign markets or some traditional safe havens like gold. And this dynamic does not usually happen, but it happened over the last couple of weeks where we saw all three of these things happen. We saw stocks go down, we saw bond yields climb, and we saw the dollar decline all at once. That is very unusual. Typically, when there's a sell-off in stocks, you see investors move their money to the safety of US treasuries.

• 16:10Dave Meyer?

  But this April, we've seen numerous occasions where stocks have sold off, so have treasuries. The dollar has weakened. It's weird, and it is not good. Because while we don't know precisely who is selling and why, the long and short of it is that investors are moving their money out of US assets and into foreign assets. And now, this might not seem like a big problem, but it is particularly for mortgage rates. In the US, like I've said repeatedly, our mortgage rates are dependent on US treasuries, and US treasuries is dependent on demand. If a lot of investors want to lend money to the US government in the form of US treasuries,

• 16:49Dave Meyer?

  interest rates or the yields on those treasuries go down and they take mortgage rates down with them. But if there is less demand for US treasuries, like we saw in these occasions where people were just selling US assets, bond yields will rise and mortgage rates will go up as well. And this is one of the main reasons alongside inflation concerns why mortgage rates have risen in recent weeks, despite a sell-off which would normally bring mortgage rates down. Could be a one-time phenomenon. We don't know. It is definitely not a trend. But if it does continue, it spells trouble for mortgage rates and honestly, I think for the entire US economy. But as of right now, I don't want to raise too many alarms because it just happened once or twice in April.

• 17:32Dave Meyer?

  But it is something that is so unusual that I do think that it is worth mentioning. So just to summarize, where the direction Of mortgage rates are, it will depend on inflation, it will depend on recession. And our third variable, which is more of like a black swan variable, this sell America trade. Given that, if you want to know where mortgage rates are going, you can ask yourself where you think these trends will go. Is a recession coming? Will inflation spike? Will investors flee US assets? Of course, no one knows for certain, but if you have a strong thesis in any of these directions, you can use it to project which way mortgage rates will move and inform your own investing decisions. Now, what do I personally think and what investing moves am I going to make? I'll share when we get back from this short break.

• 23:37Dave Meyer?

  Welcome back to the BiggerPockets Podcast. We're here talking about what happens with mortgage rates in this new economic reality that we're living in. And as I said before the break, I'll give you my thoughts on what happens from here, but you may not like it because my educated, highly researched best guess is that rates are going to stay relatively high for the foreseeable future. As we've talked about throughout the show, predicting mortgage rates is trying to predict the bond market and I think there's just too much uncertainty for bond yields to fall. Yeah, there are fears of recession that could Bring down bond yields, but the risk of inflation is counteracting that. And the general caution investors are starting to show, really for the first time in many, many years about American assets, is also counteracting that.

• 24:22Dave Meyer?

  For mortgage rates to fall, we need a recession without inflation and some more stability in our policies around trade and Fed relations. That's how they come down. I mean, I don't know if those things are going to happen and when, but that is the formula we need for mortgage rates to come down. If any of those three variables remain uncertain about recession, about inflation, about our policies, I think that rates stay relatively high. And frankly, I don't know, maybe we'll get clarity about some of these things, but the idea that we're going to get clarity about all three of these variables in the next few months, I just don't see that happening. And that's why I think rates are going to stay relatively high. And of course, they're going to fluctuate week to week, month to month, and maybe even

• 25:05Dave Meyer?

  up to a half a point or more, but I don't see them going below 6.5% for the foreseeable future. And, you know, maybe they'll get above 7.1, but I think that's kind of the range that I'm expecting mortgage rates to be for at least next three-ish months. And I should mention that I believe this, even if Trump gets his way and the Fed cuts rates. And I know you may disagree with this, and this might be controversial, but I think this may be true even if Trump fires Powell. Because think about it, if the Fed cuts rates, yes, that will lower some borrowing costs, but it will also spook investor about inflation, right? People are already spooked about inflation and lower rates could make that worse.

• 25:47Dave Meyer?

  So any potential cut might be offset by those inflation fears. Remember, this just happened, right? This isn't some like crazy hypothesis that I have. Remember when the Fed cut rates in September and mortgage rates went up? Yeah, we have seen this movie before. But what if Trump fires Powell and rates really come down, like say 200 basis points? Same thing, at least to me, right? Because that actually might even be worse. I think that would be sort of this double whammy because yes, the federal funds rate will come down, but I think The fact that Trump fires Powell and the ending of Fed independence would introduce this whole new realm of risk for bond investors and bond yields could actually go up and inflation

• 26:30Dave Meyer?

  fears would go up too. This would just be pretty unprecedented. So I can't say with a lot of certainty what would happen, but I think it might not work out as cleanly for mortgage rates as you might think. We've already seen how the bond market reacted when Trump just threatened to fire Powell. Bond investors didn't like that. They felt like there was risk and bond yields went up. So regardless of what you think of Jerome Powell, him being fired may not get you the mortgage rate results that you're looking for. So that's my take. And honestly, it's not really that different than I predicted at the beginning of the year. I've been saying rates higher than most people expect, somewhere in the mid to high sixes for the coming months, between 6.5 and 7%. But I do think if

• 27:14Dave Meyer?

  things calm down over the next few months, if trade deals are struck, if Trump resists firing Powell, the general trend for mortgage rates is down. It's just going to take longer and will probably be less of a decline than most people think. So in terms of real estate strategy, what am I doing about all this? I'm buying real estate. This is the upside era after all. Long-term investing is the name of the game. And despite a softening housing market and persistently high interest rates, there are still deals to be had. Concessions are up, price drops are up, negotiations are yours for the taking. Don't assume you can't find a property that works

• 27:54Dave Meyer?

  because interest rates are at 6.8% or whatever. Go find a property you think has upside, calculate what price you could pay with current rates and make that offer. If it's not accepted, find another property and try again. Don't get me wrong. There is risk in these types of buyers market that we are in, but there are also so many opportunities. This is where opportunities come. So despite everything else going on right now, I'm sticking with my long-term strategy of finding great assets with lots of upside that I want to hold for 10 plus years. That may not be your strategy, but I'd encourage you All to at least follow me with the big pillars of my strategy right now, which are be conservative in your underwriting, assume minimal growth for the next few years,

• 28:38Dave Meyer?

  ensure at least break even cash flow for properties that you want to hold, and find two to three upsides for each deal. If you could do that in today's environment, there's no reason not to be active in this market that is sure to produce opportunities. All right, that's what we got.
