The slight dip in rates is expected to invigorate the St. Louis housing market as buyers find new opportunities to secure more affordable financing. Sellers may also see increased activity as lower rates can widen the pool of eligible buyers. The reduction in rates extends to other lending options as well, with the 30-year FHA rate now at 5.85% and the adjustable-rate (7/6 SOFR ARM) at 5.77%. Prospective buyers in the St. Louis area are encouraged to take advantage of these more favorable conditions while they last.
