Latta Statement on Mortgage Rates Reaching Lowest Level Since 2022

Washington, February 26, 2026

Today, Congressman Bob Latta (OH-5) released the following statement on mortgage rates falling to their lowest level since 2022:

“Falling mortgage rates offer much needed relief for hardworking families who have been priced out of homeownership for far too long. With rates at their lowest level in four years, families across Ohio’s Fifth Congressional District now have greater opportunities to achieve the dream of owning a home. Lower rates mean reduced monthly payments, increased purchasing power, and greater financial flexibility for prospective buyers, while also strengthening the financial stability of current homeowners. This progress underscores the Administration’s continued commitment to lowering costs for Americans. House Republicans and the Trump Administration will keep working to build a strong, accessible housing market that works for every American family. Promises made, promises kept.”
