đ¨ The end of An Era! đ¨
The Federal Reserve just wrapped up their latest meeting, and as expected, theyâve kept interest rates at the 3.5% range. But the real story isnât just the ratesâitâs the end of an era.
- Jerome Powellâs final meeting as Chair. For homebuyers and investors, this marks a massive transition. Powell is leaving us in a âholding patternâ due to global uncertainty, meaning we donât know if weâll see rate cuts this year.
Whatâs next? Kevin Warsh will take over in May as the incoming Chair. While the Fed is playing it safe for now, a change in leadership can brings a change in strategy. If youâre waiting for a sign to move, stability is your green light.
Markets are currently planning on zero rate cuts for the remainder of 2026. For buyers, this means âmarrying the house and dating the rateâ is still a good strategy, as waiting for a drop might take another 12 months.
