Prospective American homebuyers expected that mortgage rates would decline, according to a nationally representative survey conducted in August 2024. The youngest generation (18 to 34-year-olds) was the only age group that still expected a rise in interest rates in the next 12 months. People aged 45 to 64 were most optimistic, with the share of respondents expecting a decrease outweighing the share expecting a hike by 27 percent.
