Mortgage rate predictions, Google AI, 7-year forecast
Reliable long-term forecasts for mortgage rates 7 years out do not exist, as major institutions like Fannie Mae and the Mortgage Bankers Association only project trends 12 to 18 months ahead. Looking toward the late 2030s, economic models from groups like Deloitte and Goldman Sachs project long-term 10-year Treasury yields to stabilize roughly between 3.9% and 4.5%, implying a baseline 30-year fixed mortgage rate moving toward the mid-to-high 5% or low 6% range if historical spreads hold.
