Here’s what you need to know about the current mortgage rate landscape and how it affects your buying power.
What’s the Current Trend with Mortgage Rates?
Recently, mortgage rates have been on a downward trend, which is promising news for those looking to buy a home. However, it’s essential to remember that mortgage rates can be unpredictable.
