A window is currently opening up for those willing to buy that could help property seekers to own their own home: In the past few weeks, mortgage interest rates have fallen by around 0.7 percentage points. This means that loans can currently be obtained for an average interest rate of around 3.5 percent. At the same time, purchase prices in 2023 have also fallen by around ten percent, compared to the market peak in summer 2022.
