Rates for 30-year fixed rate mortgages dropped below 7% the first week of the month, second dropping week in a row.
Rates have been moving higher for most of 2022, rising to over 7%.
More inflation and economic data/time is needed before we can know if inflation is finally slowing.
Some sources are calling this a temporary swing or one-time type event.
Black Friday did also see a cooling of the rabid shopping once associated with the season. We will hope for a gradual decrease in the inflation with which we have been plagued.
