Explanation of Solution

When the lending rates are low and the interest rates are also lower it implies that loans or mortgages are easier to access at a cheaper cost. This will lead to an increase in the demand for housing as the housing financing can be easily availed. This increase in demand would result in a higher price for housing as housing is a limited resource.
