Historically, 30-year fixed mortgage rate is ~+1.5% higher than Fed terminal rate.

So lenders think Fed has paused rate hikes.
…Bob Broeksmit, president and CEO of the Mortgage Bankers Association… said MBA is forecasting a gradual decline, with the 30-year fixed rate falling to around 5.3% by the end of the year.
