๐๐ก Big News: Mortgage rates just dipped below 6%!
After a long stretch of higher rates, this could be the shift Connecticutโs housing market has been waiting for.
For buyers โก๏ธ Lower rates = better affordability ๐ฐ
For sellers โก๏ธ More buyers jumping back in = more demand ๐ฅ

Thatโs when markets get moving again. ๐
Thinking about buying or selling in Connecticut? Now might be the time to take a fresh look. ๐
The evidence is patchy on whether lower rates have meaningfully spurred more activity, as the Trump administration floats measures it says will make housing more affordable.
