Brexit has had a profound impact on our housing market. With lower rates, more and more people are deciding to make the leap and buy a home. Buying a home?

This pushed our mortgage rates down even further to almost unseen lows. In fact, we are now in the middle of the second-longest run of cheap mortgage rates in history. What does this mean for you as a buyer?“The low rates make for a lower payment.”If you’re looking to buy a house, now is a great time to do so. The low rates mean you’ll pay less per month. On a 30-year $800,000 mortgage, the total cost is $97,000 less over the life of the loan than it was last year. With today’s rates, you could also afford a more luxurious home for the same monthly payment you could have had last year. Clearly, this is an awesome opportunity.
