After a lot of talk about lowering rates, the Federal Reserve finally dropped rates by .5 points today, hooray! Hopefully this begins to grease the wheels of a slow market where potential sellers were reluctant to let go of their home where they had a lower mortgage rate.
I expect that the market will get back to “normal” in the spring, and that this represents a window of opportunity for buyers with lower rates and less competition. For sellers, inventory is still low which is good for certain type of properties, such as units that need a renovation. Happy to chat more on which types of properties fair better in what market environments and why, but for now, we’re just celebrating the rate decision and the market to come!
