As of the writing of this article, home mortgage rates in Boise are holding steady at around 3.94% for a 30 year fixed, and about 3.36% for a 15 year fixed. Those figures are very close to what the rates were last year at this time, and moving into 2018 most industry experts are forecasting rates that still look pretty good!

A fixed-rate mortgage is one of the most popular choices for borrowers here in Idaho, because the interest rates on these loans do not change during the term of the loan – most commonly 30 years or 15 years.

Below are how some of the experts are forecasting what mortgage interest rates will look like in 2018:
