Mat Ishbia, CEO of United Wholesale Mortgage, told FOX Business there is one big reason this year will be a good one to make a home purchase.

“From a homebuyer perspective, affordability is really great,” Ishbia said, forecasting rates will remain low.

According to a report from Realtor.com, mortgage rates are expected to average 3.85 percent.

Consistent with Ishbia’s predictions for continued affordability, Realtor.com expects home prices to rise just 0.8 percent across the U.S. this year – with declines occurring in 25 percent of the 100 largest metro areas.

Ishbia said the spring purchase season in 2020 will likely “have a lot of legs” and could carry on through the fall.
