Prospective homebuyers hoping for significantly lower borrowing costs in 2027 may face a more challenging outlook, as mortgage rate forecasts have shifted higher amid persistent inflation and broader economic uncertainty. 

PBG’s Marty Green spoke with CNBC about the economic factors influencing the mortgage rate outlook and why even forecasters who had anticipated lower rates are adjusting their expectations. 

“Economic reality has forced even the most optimistic interest rate forecasters to project a higher rate environment than anticipated earlier this year,” says Green.
