What this means for you

Two different readings, two different decisions. The advertised-vs-negotiated range tells you how much it pays to shop around today — regardless of what happens over the next 3 months. The broker consensus tells you whether or not you need to hurry. With a majority no longer expecting any significant move, there is no obvious "right moment" to wait for: the negotiation gap, on the other hand, is there right now.

The views of the brokers on the Panel may differ — a consensus is not unanimity — and every reader remains free to form their own opinion.
