In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down the Federal Reserve's June policy decision and what it means for the housing market. The Fed held interest rates steady at 4.25% to 4.5% but still expects two rate cuts before the end of 2025. Kathy unpacks the new economic projections—including slower GDP growth, persistent inflation, and a slight rise in unemployment—and explains how these shifting forecasts could impact mortgage rates, housing demand, and investor sentiment.   JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE https://realwealth.com/join-step-1 FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS

The Timing Of Interest Rate Changes ...   ...is not affecting home prices Once again the Fed decided to keep interest rates the same While individuals, and businesses alike, want rates to be lowered the Fed has signaled that they think rates are where they need to be and unpopular of an opinion as it might be there is some evidence that they aren't necessarily wrong home values increased 3% in the 1st Quarter of 2025 as compared to the same quarter in 2024 There are only 4 meetings left in 2025 July 29-30  September 16-17 October 28-29 December 9-10 so if there is going to be surge of buying over the summer months it will be based on the strength of the real estate market and not due to the cost of money being less expensive and with that, we would know with great certainty that the housing market is solid without manipulation of interest rates so when the Fed eventually lowers rates there could very well be a surge in the real estate space if you have been playing the wait and see game watch for 2 interest rate changes over the next 4 meetings my suspicion is that you will see one in July or September and the other one In October or December with the likelihood that home values continue to increase the monthly home loan payment will not see much change listen for the explanation on how and why things are playing out
