Americans are feeling the most optimistic about the mortgage market since the Fed started hiking rates

• Optimism about mortgage rates rose to levels last seen in March 2022, a Fannie Mae survey found.
• The upbeat mood is driven by stronger job security and lower borrowing costs as the Fed looks ready to cut rates. 
• Other parts of the affordability equation are still constrained, with consumers expecting home prices to rise.

Americans are feeling a lot better about buying a house.
