Experts say don't expect interest rates in the 3% range anytime soon. Mortgage rates are expected to ease somewhat in 2026, allowing more buyers to enter the market and stabilizing the rise in prices. But affordability is still going to present a major hurdle to many potential buyers. NerdWallet reports the March 2026 average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage in Washington state is generally ranging between 5.76% and 6.63%, with some lenders offering 5.875%–6.375% for well-qualified borrowers.
