Big News: The Federal Reserve has made a BIG move by lowering its key rate by a half-point, a more aggressive cut than expected. Many experts have welcomed this decision, which is likely to have a positive impact on consumers. But what does this mean for you?
Understanding the Impact on Mortgage Rates
While the fed funds rate—the rate banks use to borrow from one another—is not directly tied to mortgage rates, it creates a ripple effect that impacts some consumer loans. This includes lower rates for credit cards, student loans, consumer loans, HELOCs, and, importantly, mortgages.
How Does This Benefit a Mortgage Borrower?
With the Fed funds rate now between 4.75% and 5%, borrowing has become more affordable. Meaning, your money goes further, propelling your purchasing power. Lower payments make it easier for you to secure the rate you deserve at a lower payment. The Fed rate cut ultimately saves you money over the life of your loan.
