The Fed Raised Rates ¼ percent — What Does That Mean for Mortgage Rates?
You may have heard that the Federal Reserve raised interest rates by ¼ percent this week.

What does that mean if you're thinking about buying or selling a home?

The important thing to understand is that the Fed does not directly set mortgage rates. A ¼ percent increase by the Fed does not automatically mean mortgage rates increase by ¼ percent.

Mortgage rates are influenced by several factors, including inflation, the economy and the bond market, so they can move differently than the Fed's rate.

For homebuyers, the best approach is to keep an eye on mortgage rates and understand what the current rate means for your monthly payment and purchasing power.

As always, we're happy to answer questions about what we're seeing in our local real estate market.
