Powell just signaled what’s next for the fed rates last Friday 👀
The Fed sees rising risks: inflation pressures from tariffs + slowing job growth. That tension makes it harder to call where mortgage rates head next.
Here’s the takeaway → expect rates to stay higher for longer until inflation risk feels under control… but cracks in the labor market could force the Fed’s hand sooner than they’d like.
For buyers + homeowners, that means:
✅ Don’t wait for a sudden rate drop.
✅ Build your strategy around today’s market, not wishful thinking.
✅ Flexibility is more powerful than timing.
