Admin’s Note

The changes in the housing loan strategies of online banks will have a significant impact on us consumers. For those who have been benefiting from low interest rates, the prospect of rising rates is a cause for concern. As younger generations like Chako consider future home purchases, it’s important to gather information on the options available to them. I want to keep an eye on the upcoming changes in the market.
