If you’ve been holding off on a home search waiting for mortgage rates to fall off a cliff, this week’s news probably isn’t what you wanted to hear. The Federal Reserve held its benchmark rate steady for a fifth consecutive meeting, and the 30-year fixed is sitting right around 6.76%. Rates aren’t spiking, but they aren’t dropping either, and here in South Lake County, the market isn’t pausing to wait them out.
Rates moved the wrong direction this week, and I want to walk you through what that actually means if you’re buying or selling in South Lake right now, because the headline number tells you less than you’d think.
Rates finally gave buyers a small break this week. If you have been sitting on the sidelines waiting for a sign, this might be it, though I would not call it a green light just yet.
