Our take — Two giants are fighting over who controls the “truth” of what’s for sale, while the buyers caught in the middle just want to see the listings — somewhere, anywhere. We’ve officially turned “displaying homes for sale” into a legal thriller. At this rate, relocation packages may need a clause for where listings might actually appear this week.
When “which listings you can even see” becomes a courtroom question, the buyer is rarely the one being protected.

Relief was on the way: the 30-year fixed mortgage rate would fall below 6% by the end of 2026, landing near 5.9%. The release was titled, in as many words, “Mortgage Rates Expected to Move Below 6 Percent by End of 2026.” By March 2026, Fannie Mae had nudged its year-end call even lower, to 5.7%.
By the week of June 11, 2026, the 30-year hit 6.52% — its second-highest reading of the year, with rates brushing 6.75%. Fannie Mae has since revised its own forecast back up to ~6.3% through 2026, blaming oil-driven inflation and a stubbornly strong jobs market.
