Everyone’s waiting for rates to fall. And according to NAR, the magic number they're hoping for is 6%. But is that number on the horizon?

Most forecasts say rates will stay in the mid-to-low sixes through the end of next year. But right after the latest weaker than expected jobs report, rates hit their lowest point so far this year (6.55%). And that sparked hope they’re on their way down.
