Casa Tejas Custom Homes, a leading builder in the Texas Hill Country, announced that recent federal interest rate cuts are creating a favorable environment for prospective homeowners. With mortgage rates falling to the lowest levels in over a year, now is an opportune time to explore building a custom home in the scenic Texas Hill Country.
The Federal Reserve’s decision to reduce its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points this September marks the first significant easing in four years. This move was initiated to address a softening labor market and a decline in inflationary pressures. As a result, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has fallen to 6.09%, down from a two-decade high of 7.79% in 2023, making borrowing significantly more affordable for buyers.
Casa Tejas Custom Homes sees this financial shift as a critical opportunity for families who have been waiting for the right moment to build their dream homes. Lower interest rates often mean lower monthly payments for homeowners and greater borrowing power—essential factors when financing a custom-built home.
"The recent rate cut represents a pivotal moment for homebuyers," said Jesse Pigott, Casa Tejas Custom Homes owner. "With borrowing costs at the most favorable levels in over a year, families can make more ambitious choices in their home design and enjoy lower long-term financial commitments."
Impact of Lower Rates on Texas Hill Country Homebuyers
The Federal Reserve’s rate cut has created a ripple effect across financial markets, including housing. Mortgage rates, which closely track the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield, have started to drop, making home loans more affordable. Historically, lower mortgage rates increase homebuyer activity by improving credit access and reducing homeownership's long-term costs.
This decrease in mortgage rates has come at a critical time when the housing market has been experiencing slower sales. The National Association of Realtors (NAR) reported a 2.5% drop in existing home sales in August, but with mortgage rates on a downward trend, the market is expected to rebound.
"Prospective homebuyers who may have hesitated due to high interest rates last year are now finding that building a custom home is within reach," added Jesse Pigott. "Casa Tejas is here to guide them through the process, ensuring they get the best value for their investment."

The leadership at Casa Tejas expressed optimism about the impact of lower mortgage rates and how they can benefit future homeowners in the Texas Hill Country.
"Building a custom home is one of the most significant investments a family will make, and we’re thrilled that recent rate cuts are making that investment more accessible," said Jesse Pigott. "We believe that the Texas Hill Country offers an unmatched quality of life, and now more than ever, it’s the perfect time to build a home here."
