Congress passed a temporary government funding package that will keep the government open until after the holidays, and then negotiations will commence again. This is great news for buyers as it allowed for rates to decrease from last week. If you’re in the market for a home, be aware of your preapproved interest rate, because as of today you could get a lower rate!
