The bond market saw 10-year Treasury yields dip to 3.94%, their lowest since April. This matters for anyone examining how to finance a house, as mortgage rates tend to shadow these long-term government benchmarks. He still faces fraud charges in the EU subsidies case and the new Parliament will have to lift his official immunity for a court to issue a verdict. To that end, shop around for mortgages — studies show that those who do are more likely to save money — and for different types of mortgages, as some typically carry lower interest rates. Consider a mortgage with a term shorter than the traditional 30 years, for example: Not only is its interest rate lower, but you settle the debt sooner. You might consider an adjustable-rate mortgage, which also carries lower interest rates for several years. Just resist the temptation to make interest-only payments during that period. Investment bank forecasts suggest stable equity growth in housing-adjacent sectors through year-end. Anyone researching how to finance a house should integrate these sector forecasts into their mortgage rate expectations and capital planning.
