Mortgage costs stayed stubbornly high in 2024, with 30-year fixed rates holding well above 6% for most of the year. But mortgage rates haven't really budged, frustrating potential buyers who had been holding out for lower home financing costs. Instead, mortgage rates track more closely with 10-year Treasury bond yields, which lenders use as a benchmark for setting long-term borrowing costs. These yields remain high due to lingering concerns about inflation — fueled by a strong economy and expectations of more deficit spending under president-elect Donald Trump. As a result, mortgage rates could remain higher than expected in 2025, he says.
