07 Nov How Federal Reserve Rate Cuts Impact the Real Estate Market.
The Federal Reserve cuts the base interest rate a quarter point (.25%) today, November 7th 2024.
In its latest monetary policy move, the Federal Reserve has opted for a quarter-point reduction in interest rates, bringing the benchmark rate to a range of 4.5% to 4.75%. This decision comes on the heels of a more significant half-point cut during their last meeting in September, signaling a continued but cautious approach to easing monetary policy. With these successive rate cuts, the Fed aims to navigate the delicate balance between fostering economic growth and controlling inflation, which has shown signs of cooling but remains above the desired 2% target. This strategy reflects the central bank’s response to evolving economic conditions.
