The Federal Reserve has just raised its key rate by 0.25%, bringing it to a range of 3.75%-4%—the first increase since July 2023. As someone who guides families through the home buying and selling journey, I pay close attention to these moves. Rate changes like this can have ripple effects on mortgage rates and affordability, which is why I’m committed to helping you understand how these shifts might impact your plans. The Fed also signaled that another hike could be on the horizon this year, with inflation still sitting above their 2% target. Their next meeting is set for October 27-28, 2026, when they’ll reassess economic conditions. My mission has always been to provide clarity and support as you navigate the financial and emotional sides of moving. Staying informed helps me give you the best guidance possible as you consider your next steps in real estate.
