Where Mortgage Rates

  Where Mortgage Rates. By: Malcolm Davis - Realtor Mortgage rates in Texas have edged lower compared with a year ago, while home prices are cooling and inventory is up, creating a more buyer-friendly and balanced market across much of the state. Sellers can still win with the right pricing and presentation, but the days of automatic bidding wars on every listing have faded in many areas.​ Where Mortgage Rates Are Now in Texas As of early December 2025, average 30‑year fixed mortgage rates in Texas are hovering around the low‑6 percent range, with some sources showing about 6.02–6.21 percent APR, while 15‑year fixed rates are in the mid‑5 percent range.

Back-to-School, Back-to-House-Hunting: Why August Is a Great Time to Buy

  Back-to-School, Back-to-House-Hunting: Why August Is a Great Time to Buy As the lazy days of summer give way to the anticipation of a new school year, August often signals a fresh beginning—not just for students, but for homebuyers, too. While many assume that the ideal time to purchase a home is in the spring or early summer, August offers unique advantages that can make your house-hunting journey easier, less stressful, and even more rewarding. 1. Less Competition, More Opportunities By August, much of the intense competition seen in the spring and early summer has faded. Many families with children have already completed their moves to settle in before school resumes, which means fewer buyers are vying for the same homes. With a less crowded market, you’ll face fewer bidding wars and may have extra negotiating leverage when making an offer. 2. Motivated Sellers and Better Deals Sellers who have listed their homes since spring are often highly motivated by August. They may be e...
