Insights from Our Preferred Lending Partner

As 2023 winds down, brace for exciting updates in 2024! The Federal Reserve hinted at potential interest rate cuts next year, a shift from their focus on rate hikes since March 2022 to curb inflation. As inflation nears the Fed's 2% target (October CPI: 3.2%), speculations arise about rate cuts in 2024, possibly starting in March, with some economists predicting up to six cuts.

In essence, mortgage rates are starting to decrease, enhancing housing affordability. Yet, this may also boost demand and, consequently, home prices. If you're considering buying, prioritize getting pre-approved. Feel free to reach out directly if I can help you understand your mortgage options.

Wishing you all a happy holiday!
