Spring is here!
The Spring Real Estate Market is thriving, and we are seeing a significant increase in demand for homes in Voorhees, especially from millennials.
In fact, the current absorption rate in our area is only 3 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, we will only be able to sustain the current demand for up to 3 months.
This is great news for anyone considering selling their home, as the high demand can lead to a boost in your bottom line.
If you are thinking about selling your home, now is the perfect time to do so. To get started, it's essential to focus on your curb appeal, which can significantly impact the value of your property. That's why we've put together a helpful checklist to help you get started.
Friendly reminder: Before you make a repair, be sure to check with a real estate agent to make sure it is worth your return on investment. Feel free to Book A Call with me if you have any questions or want a free consultation!

Summer 2026 Mortgage Rates: SCV Buyers | Dubner
Published by Michelle & Jon Dubner | Dubner Real Estate Group | Equity Union
Last updated: July 20, 2026
Whether you are house hunting in Santa Clarita already or relocating from Los Angeles, the mortgage rate headlines this summer can feel like noise. Michelle and Jon Dubner track this weekly, so here is the real number and what it actually means for your buying power right now, not just a headline percentage.
Key Takeaways
- The 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.55% for the week of July 16, 2026, according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
- That is down from 6.75% a year earlier, a meaningful improvement in buying power for anyone comparing this summer to last summer.
- Rates have moved within a fairly narrow band this summer, averaging 6.43% to 6.55% week to week, rather than swinging wildly in either direction.
- A rate move of even a quarter point changes your monthly payment more than most buyers expect, so getting a real, current quote matters more than watching headlines.
What Is the Mortgage Rate Actually Doing Right Now?
According to Freddie Mac's own weekly survey, the 30-year fixed mortgage rate averaged 6.55% for the week of July 16, 2026, up slightly from 6.49% the week before. Earlier in July, the rate had averaged 6.43%. That is a fairly narrow band, week to week, which tells you this summer has been more of a steady stretch than a dramatic swing in either direction.
How Does This Compare to a Year Ago?
A year earlier, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 6.75%. That means today's rate is meaningfully better than where things stood last summer, even if it does not feel that way when the headline number still starts with a 6. For a buyer comparing what they could afford last year to what they can afford now, that difference is real and worth recalculating, not assuming has stayed flat.
What Does a Rate Like This Actually Do to a Santa Clarita Buyer's Budget?
Small moves in rate matter more than most buyers expect. On a typical Santa Clarita purchase price, a quarter-point change in rate can shift a monthly payment by well over a hundred dollars, which can be the difference between a home fitting comfortably in your budget and feeling like a stretch. This is exactly why Jon and I tell every buyer, especially anyone relocating from Los Angeles where price points and payment math can look very different, to get an actual, current quote from a lender rather than budgeting off a headline rate from a few months ago.
Should You Wait for Rates to Drop Further?
That is one of the most common questions Jon and I get, and there is no honest way to predict where rates go next with certainty. What we can say is that rates have held in a relatively steady range through the summer rather than falling sharply, and waiting on a rate drop that may or may not happen means competing for the same Santa Clarita inventory later with no guarantee your monthly payment improves. We walk every buyer through their real numbers today so the decision is based on your actual budget, not a guess about the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the current 30-year mortgage rate?
According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 6.55% for the week of July 16, 2026.
Is that higher or lower than last year?
It is lower. A year earlier, the 30-year fixed rate averaged 6.75%, so today's rate represents a real improvement in buying power year over year.
How much does a small rate change actually affect my payment?
More than most buyers expect. A quarter-point change in rate can shift a monthly payment by well over a hundred dollars on a typical Santa Clarita purchase price, so it is worth getting a current, real quote rather than relying on a rate you saw months ago.
Should I wait for rates to drop before buying in Santa Clarita?
There is no reliable way to predict future rate moves. Jon and I walk every buyer through their real numbers today, since waiting on a rate drop that may not happen means competing for the same inventory later with no guaranteed improvement in payment.
Where can I check the current mortgage rate myself?
Freddie Mac publishes its Primary Mortgage Market Survey weekly at freddiemac.com/pmms. Jon and I also share the current number directly with every buyer we work with.
