The current 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 6.00% and 15-year rate of 5.43% mean that financing a median-priced home at $4,200,000 carries a substantial monthly payment, making cash buyers or those with large down payments more competitive. Buyers who can qualify for the 15-year rate at 5.43% will save meaningfully on interest over the life of the loan, though the higher monthly payments require strong income to qualify.
