“I’ll just wait.”

I hear some version of that a lot when rates move.

But here’s what caught my attention when I looked at the numbers: at the time we recorded this, Acadiana sales at $600,000+ were running 17% ahead of the same period the year before.

That doesn’t mean everybody needs to run out and buy a house.

It does mean waiting isn’t automatically the safer decision people sometimes assume it is.

Our market has been through rate changes, storms, economic uncertainty—and people are still choosing Acadiana.

Home isn’t a place. It’s a decision.

A lower mortgage rate doesn’t automatically mean you’re getting the better deal.

09/16/2026

Everybody talks about mortgage rates.

But if you want a pretty simple indicator of which direction they’re moving, keep an eye on the 10-year Treasury.

When it moves up, mortgage rates generally move up with it. When it comes down, mortgage rates generally follow.

There’s obviously more going on behind the scenes, but this is a much easier way to understand it without needing an economics degree. 😂

🚨 The Fed raises rates… so your mortgage rate automatically goes up, right?

Not exactly.

This is one of the biggest misconceptions I hear about mortgage rates.

In this clip, Austin Shoemaker breaks down what actually happens when the Federal Reserve raises the federal funds rate — and why the 10-year Treasury is an important piece of the mortgage-rate puzzle.

Bottom line: the headline you hear on the news doesn't always tell you what's happening with mortgage rates.

If you're thinking about buying a home in Acadiana, don't make your decision based on one headline. Let's look at what the numbers actually mean for YOU.

Hey hey, it's John Ray. 🏡
