Could the midterm elections mean lower mortgage rates? History gives us an interesting reason to keep an eye on what happens next.
The election is bringing us a divided government. That means the President and Congress won't be controlled by the same political party.
And here's what's interesting: in 4 of the last 5 midterm elections that led to divided government, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate was lower one year later.
Does that mean rates are guaranteed to fall this time? No.
Inflation, the economy, and the Federal Reserve still have a much bigger influence on where mortgage rates go. And the historical declines weren't all the same size.
But rates have edged down slightly over the past few weeks. So, it'll be interesting to see whether history repeats itself.
Want to know if this trend continues and what it could mean for your next move? Follow along for updates.

Low Rates or Lots of Leverage? Buyers Rarely Get Both.
Higher mortgage rates come with a perk most buyers miss: negotiating power.
Back in 2022, after two years of rates near 3%, 95 of the top 100 metros favored sellers, according to Realtor.com. Bidding wars and offers over asking were everywhere.
Now rates are above 7%, and the picture has flipped. Today, 66 of those 100 metros lean toward buyers.
And sellers are making deals to prove it. Redfin reports nearly half of buyers now get a concession from the seller, like help with closing costs, money for repairs, or even paying to buy down the mortgage rate.
That’s the trade-off: buyers rarely get low rates and leverage at the same time. If rates dropped in a big way, more buyers would jump back in, and that leverage would likely shrink.
That doesn’t mean you have to move right now. The right time to buy is when the numbers work for you. But if you’re ready to move, today’s leverage could help make the math more doable than you think.
Just remember, every local market is different.
Want to see how much negotiating power you’d have in this area? Let’s look at homes where sellers may be open to a rate buydown or closing cost help.
