Lower rates, Higher Opportunities!

Friday brought some buzz from Jackson Hole. Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted that rate cuts could be on the horizon. He’s still keeping things cautious, but let’s be real: the door is cracked open and that’s worth paying attention to.

Here’s why this matters to you:

The markets heard him loud and clear and started leaning toward lower borrowing costs.

Nothing’s locked in yet, because the Fed still wants proof that inflation is calming down and the job market is steady.

What could be next:

If the numbers keep lining up, a rate cut as soon as next month is possible.

Lenders don’t always wait for official announcements. They adjust early, and we already saw that after the last Fed meeting. That small dip helped keep more buyers active in our market - and I’ve watched that play out with under-contract activity over the past few weeks.

If you’re buying:

This is the moment to check in on your rate and update your pre-approval. A tiny shift in interest can stretch your budget or upgrade your must-have list.

Ask about float-down options or no-cost refi strategies. That way, if rates drop further after you lock, you’re covered. (Ask me more about this, I work with lenders closely!)

If you’re selling:

Lower rates = more buyers showing up. And when the pool of buyers grows, smart pricing and killer presentation matter even more.

If you’ve been waiting on the sidelines, this could be the sweet spot to prep, stage, and step back into the game.

Here’s the truth: small changes in rates can have a big impact on your monthly payment, your approval power, and your next move.
