As of March 17, 2025, the mortgage landscape is shifting with the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cuts, offering a golden window for homebuyers and refinancers. At Pacific Oaks Mortgage, we’ve analyzed the latest data and uncovered opportunities you can’t afford to miss. Here’s how to seize the moment:
1. Lower Rates, Bigger Savings
The Fed’s 0.25% rate cut in February 2025 (projected based on early 2025 trends) has dropped average 30-year fixed mortgage rates to around 6.2%—down from 6.5% in late 2024. For a $400,000 loan, that’s a monthly savings of $100, totaling $36,000 over 30 years. Act fast—rates may rise as inflation stabilizes.
2. Refinance Smartly
Homeowners with rates above 6.5% can refinance now. Our clients who refinanced in the last month saved an average of $150/month. Use our free refinance calculator to see your potential savings.
3. First-Time Buyer Boost
With down payment assistance programs still active in 2025, first-timers can enter the market with as little as 3% down. Pair this with our competitive VA and FHA rates to maximize your budget.
