Fed Raises Interest Rates Again
As we stated in a prior report and blog the Fed has raised it’s benchmark interest rate as of 6/14/2018 as they predicted in their report on 5/7/2018 for the second time this year signaling that they may step up its pace of rate increases. Economists said the Fed left little doubt that it’s prepared to increase the pace of its credit to guard against high inflation later on. “The labor market is getting tighter, and price pressures are picking up,” said Greg McBride, a chief financial analyst at Bankrate.com. “The Fed is prepared to be quicker about pushing rates higher.” It is expected to bump up rates three more times this year.
What does this mean for the Real Estate market? What is different about this rise is a growing concern that borrowing costs are more likely to continue to rise. This could make the challenges of today’s seller’s market even worse for some prospective purchasers—particularly first-time buyers. The rate hike is not going to stop most buyers’ decision to purchase a home. Instead, it will create a sense of urgency.
The good news is interest rates alone do not determine the decision to purchase. People still want homes they hope would appreciate with time, and that they can take pride in. Some shoppers would need to settle for properties at the lower end of their budgets. The problem with that is that there is a shortage of affordable houses currently on the market. A rising-rate environment makes waiting on home buying more expensive. Starter home values are rising at a faster clip than luxury homes, according to Zillow.
