Mortgage Rate Lock-In Still Dominates

Realtor.com's Q2 2026 Outstanding Mortgage Data report found mortgage rate lock-in remains the dominant force in the housing market, with only 27.8% of outstanding loans originated since mid-2022. Pandemic-era loans from mid-2019 to mid-2022 now hold a record 42.8% share, and if rates stay above 6%, the 6%-plus bucket could reach 27%-28.5% of outstanding loans by mid-2027.

Realtor.com® Market Clock® Report: Buyers Gain Ground as Mortgage Rates Top 7%

Realtor.com's Q3 2026 Market Clock report moved the national reading to 4 o'clock — late balanced and loosening toward buyers — with about two-thirds of the 99 covered metros favoring buyers or trending that way. Mortgage rates rose 74 basis points from 6.66% in late August to 7.40% on October 8, cutting purchasing power for a $2,000 monthly budget by 7.2%, or more than $22,000 in home price. Regionally, 16 of 18 seller's markets sit in the Midwest while 14 of 17 buyer's markets are in the South; Austin, Seattle, Salt Lake City and Portland each shifted two hours toward buyers this quarter.

Luxury Prices Fall for 30th Straight Month as Big Price Tags Fail to Guarantee Top School Marks, Realtor.com® Finds

Realtor.com's September Luxury Housing Report shows the national luxury entry point at $1,199,321, down 3.6% year-over-year and the 30th straight month of annual declines. Despite falling prices, luxury homes are selling faster than a year ago in every tier, with 90th-percentile listings moving in a median 76 days. The report also finds high school ratings correlate loosely with price strength — Naples, Fla., tops both, while Bridgeport, Conn., ranks third on schools but is down 15.6% annually. Realtor.com is operated by Move, Inc., a subsidiary of News Corp (Nasdaq: NWS, NWSA), making this routine research content from the filer's real estate unit rather than a company financial disclosure.

Small Mortgages Are Disappearing, Even as Federal Policy Targets Barriers to Access

Realtor.com, a brand operated by News Corp subsidiary Move, Inc., published a research report finding that mortgages under $100,000 have fallen from more than 12% of originations in 2013-14 to less than 3% in 2025-2026. The report attributes the decline to a shrinking pool of low-priced homes and rising origination frictions, noting small-mortgage borrowers carry strong credit (737 average FICO) and large down payments (34.4% median) yet pay higher rates. It endorses the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act's FHA pilot and cites a 4.03 million-home national supply gap. The release is brand-research PR with no direct financial impact on NWSA.

Closing Time for a Generation: Aging Owners Will Free Up 13.9 Million Homes Over the Next Decade, a 74% Jump From the Last 10 Years

Realtor.com research projects Baby Boomers and the Silent Generation will release 13.9 million owner-occupied homes between 2026 and 2036, a 74% jump from the prior decade. Relief is concentrated: family homes make up 9.9 million of the total while only 0.38 million starter homes are expected to be freed, so first-time-buyer affordability improves little.

Homebuyers Can Beat the Headline Mortgage Rate by Shopping, Saving and Strengthening Credit

Realtor.com, a subsidiary of News Corp (Nasdaq: NWSA), published a research report finding that actual mortgage rates vary widely around headline rates, with the middle 80% of borrowers spanning 93 basis points worth roughly $28,400 in buying power. The analysis of more than 1.35 million purchase loans from 2023-2025 shows credit-score thresholds (700 and 720) and lender shopping as the biggest levers, with competitive lender shopping alone worth about 19 basis points.

Rising inventory gave buyers more negotiating room, but higher mortgage rates pushed the estimated monthly principal-and-interest payment up 74% over five years to $2,376. The report highlights a regional split: buyers in high-cost metros like Hartford and Boston are putting more down to cushion payments, while softer markets like Austin and Dallas see smaller down payments adding to monthly costs.

Realtor.com® Metro Report Cards: Des Moines Earns Top Marks as Homebuilding and Affordability Divide America's Largest Metros

Realtor.com's 2026 Best Time to Buy Report identifies the week of September 27 through October 3 as the most favorable buying window of 2026, based on six seasonal supply-and-demand measures including inventory, prices, competition and time on market.

The report cautions that mortgage rates remain elevated above year-ago levels with no financing relief, and active listings are still about 11% below pre-pandemic levels nationally, even as softer demand tilts conditions toward buyers.
