The Federal Reserve has just raised its key interest rate by 0.25%, bringing it to a range of 3.75%–4%. This marks the first increase since July 2023. With inflation still running above the Fed’s 2% target, officials have indicated that another rate hike could be on the table before the year ends. The next opportunity for a policy review will be at the meeting scheduled for October 27-28, 2026, when economic conditions and inflation will be reassessed. As someone who has spent over two decades guiding clients through the real estate market, I know changes like these can raise important questions about timing and opportunity. Staying informed about these economic shifts is key to making confident decisions on your property journey.
