π‘ Why This Matters
All eyes are on the Fed this Wednesday, as markets widely expect a rate cut. The 10-year Treasury has been trading in a tight range just above 4%, signaling investors are already pricing in the move.
A rate cut doesnβt automatically mean lower mortgage rates β in fact, the reaction depends on what the Fed says about future policy. If they hint this is just the first of several cuts, we could see a drop in yields. But if they take a βwait-and-seeβ tone, mortgage rates may stay near current levels.
π§Β Realtor Insight: Buyers may hear βrate cutβ and expect big savings overnight. Remind them mortgage rates move on market expectations β not the Fedβs direct action β and patience could pay off in the coming weeks.
