Each change in interest rates paints a picture of where things might be headed. Right now, that picture shows cautious but growing optimism.
With the Federal Reserve expected to reduce rates by 0.25%, bringing the benchmark down to 3.75%–4.00%, the environment is beginning to feel more flexible. Add to that 10-year Treasury yields steadying around 4.0% and mortgage rates dropping to their lowest point in over a year, and it’s easy to see why conversations in the industry are picking up.
These shifts influence both borrowing costs and the way investors feel about the market.
