Why the Fed Meeting Matters to Mortgages

The Federal Reserve, often called “the Fed,” is the central bank of the United States. One of its key responsibilities is setting interest rates, which impacts everything from credit cards to mortgage loans. When the Fed raises or lowers interest rates, it can influence the interest rates that lenders like us at Morgan Financial offer to you.

• Interest Rate Trends: If the Fed decides to raise rates, mortgage rates may follow suit, making home loans more expensive. On the flip side, if the Fed holds or lowers rates, it could keep mortgage rates steady or even reduce them, making it more affordable for you to buy or refinance a home.
• Market Stability: The Fed’s decision can also signal where the economy is headed. Higher rates might indicate concerns about inflation, while lower rates can suggest that the economy needs a boost. Either way, the outcome affects the housing market, which makes this meeting critical for homebuyers, homeowners, and investors alike.
