The latest Windermere market update from our chief economist Jeff Tucker highlights how inflation trends, Federal Reserve policy, and interest rate movements continue to shape today’s real estate landscape.

While the Fed has maintained a cautious stance on rate adjustments, recent data shows that inflation is gradually easing and mortgage rates have responded with periods of improvement. At the same time, increased housing inventory is providing more opportunity and balance for buyers across many markets.
