Homebuyers seeking lower mortgage rates are snapping up a rare type of loan. AdvertisementA type of mortgage that can offer ultra-low rates is becoming more popular among homebuyers — but they're rare and difficult to come across, real estate experts say. Buyers have been increasingly turning to assumable mortgages, or home-lending schemes where a buyer takes over a seller's mortgage, at the rate it was originally financed. Borrowing costs on the 30-year-fixed mortgage, the most popular type of mortgage in the US, ticked higher to 6.7% last week, according to Freddie Mac data. Meanwhile, 85% of existing homeowners have a mortgage rate under 6%, per an analysis from Realtor.com.

The stock market is about to see a major shift once the Fed cuts rates, Jeremy Siegel said. The top economist thinks value stocks could start outperforming growth stocks once the Fed eases policy. Cooling inflation data supports a Fed rate cut by September, Siegel predicted. The Wharton School finance professor pointed to opportunity lurking in value stocks, an unloved group of the market that's underperformed this year when compared to growth stocks. Growth stocks have outperformed partly due to Wall Street's AI craze, which has ignited investor fervor for growth stocks, like mega-cap tech firms.
