The Federal Reserve announced yesterday they will not raise interest rates for now. Here's what the National Association of Realtors Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun had to say:

“Today’s FOMC decision is only a short-term, temporary pause. With no change in monetary policy, mortgage rates look to remain within the narrow band of 4.0% to 4.5% for the foreseeable future. However, the future path of rate hikes and changes in bond purchase levels will depend upon inflationary pressures. Without adequate increases in new housing production, both rents and home prices will accelerate, and therefore complicate the Fed’s desire for full employment and price stability.”

🏠 Wednesday housing market update

📈 The Federal Reserve has raised rates once again. What does this mean for homebuyers?🤔 The Fed does not directly control the interest rates but mortgage rates have been closely tied to 10-year Treasury notes. The decision to raise rates was expected by most analysts and so the markets have already taken that into consideration. Rates are not expected to go up much in the coming weeks due to the rates increase.

☑️ Check back every other Wednesday to get up to date information on the state of the housing market and what to expect in the near future.
