📉 Market Update: The average rate on a five-year fixed mortgage has dipped below 5% for the first time since May 2023, now standing at 4.99%, according to Moneyfacts.
Though the change from 5% may seem marginal, it’s being described as a symbolic turning point, a sign that borrowing costs are steadily easing. Even small rate reductions can enhance buyer confidence and intensify competition among lenders, potentially opening new doors for homebuyers and investors alike.
