If you’ve been on the fence about buying a new home, this might be the news you’ve been waiting for: mortgage rates just hit an 11-month low.
According to the Mortgage Bankers Association, the average U.S. 30-year fixed mortgage rate dropped to 6.49% for the week ending September 5, 2025, the lowest level since October 2024. - "US 30-year mortgage rate slides to 11-month low, MBA data shows" - Reuters, September 10, 2025.
That means buyers today have an opportunity to lock in a lower monthly payment compared to just weeks ago.
Falling rates don’t just sound good in the headlines, they directly impact your ability to afford more home for your money. Lower rates = lower payments, which can open the door to move forward with confidence instead of hesitation.
And here’s the best part: while the national average is 6.49%, De Young Mortgage is offering rates as low as 4.875% (5.113% APR)* on select quick move-in ready homes when combined with seller incentives. That’s a game-changing difference for your monthly budget.
Real estate is all about timing, and right now, the timing is on your side. Rates can shift quickly, and available homes are limited. With the combination of historically lower rates and ready-to-move-in homes, waiting could mean:
We currently have quick move-in homes ready for you at De Young Sereno and De Young Verano at Tesoro Viejo, meaning you can skip the wait and start enjoying your new home sooner. These opportunities pair beautifully with today’s rates, creating one of the strongest buying moments we’ve seen in nearly a year.
