Will Interest Rates Go Down in October? | Predictions 2025
Introduction
Mortgage rates remain one of the most closely watched indicators in the housing market. Buyers, sellers, and investors are asking the same question: Where are rates headed next?
In a recent interview with The Mortgage Reports, Atlas Real Estate CEO Tony Julianelle shared his perspective on what borrowers can expect through the end of the year.
Key Insights from Tony Julianelle
Tony highlighted that while some relief is likely, volatility should not be overlooked:
“I expect mortgage rates to ease modestly into year-end, but I wouldn’t frame this as a straight-line story… My base case is modest relief — a 20–40 basis-point decline — but I’d put meaningful odds on rates bouncing higher again if inflation proves sticky.”
This balanced outlook reflects the uncertainty around inflation and Federal Reserve policy, both of which remain critical drivers of mortgage rate trends.

What This Means for Buyers and Borrowers
- Slight relief is possible: A modest decline could make monthly payments more manageable for new buyers.
- Volatility remains: If inflation persists, rates could spike again before stabilizing.
- Timing matters: Buyers and investors may want to monitor economic signals closely rather than waiting for a dramatic drop.
