Yesterday, I said we were all waiting to see what the Fed would do.

Today, we got the answer: a 0.25% rate hike. 📈

And just like that, the headlines get loud, the bond market shifts, and everyone starts wondering what it means for their mortgage, credit cards, car loan, or next move.

Here is the real-estate version: mortgage rates do not move on an election-year calendar or on one Fed headline alone. They move with inflation, bond-market expectations, economic data, and a lot of very human guessing.

Lucy’s main concern? “Will this affect the treat budget?” 🐾

Fair question, Lucy.

A quarter-point hike may affect credit cards, HELOCs, and other variable-rate debt more directly. It does not automatically add 0.25% to an existing fixed mortgage overnight.

🏡 And who you hire matters. The right lender is not just there to quote a rate. They can help you compare loan options, lender credits, and available programs that may make sense for your budget and timing. Terms, availability, and qualification requirements vary, but it is worth having the conversation before deciding it is a bad time to buy.

The market feels a little unpredictable right now. That is exactly why a plan matters more than guessing.

Whether you are thinking about buying, selling, refinancing, or simply trying to make sense of it all, call Jill. 📞 We will look at your whole picture and make a plan for your next move.

But isn’t it an election year? Aren’t rates supposed to come down? 🤔😂

Buyers are waiting for rates. Sellers are waiting for buyers. And some people need to sell AND buy, so waiting for the stars, the Fed and apparently the election to align could take a minute.

The Fed meets tomorrow. Will it magically fix the housing market? Nope.

Riley’s position: JUST TELL US ALREADY. 🐾😂

I’ll break down what happens tomorrow and what it means for buyers and sellers.
