Unprecedented Mortgage Rate Predictions: How the Federal Reserve’s Rate Cuts Will Impact Your Finances
The latest July jobs report has ignited a frenzy on Wall Street as analysts anticipate imminent rate cuts by the Federal Reserve in September. This speculation has already caused mortgage rates to plummet, with the 30-year rate hitting a 15-month low of 6.47%. Experts predict further decreases as the Fed’s rate-cut cycle unfolds.
Based on historical trends, mortgage rates could potentially drop by at least 100 basis points from their current levels. The CME Fed Watch tool suggests a high probability that the benchmark rate will fall to 4.25% by the end of 2024, signaling even lower mortgage rates on the horizon.
Industry insiders like Melissa Cohn of Williams Raveis Mortgage foresee rates dipping below 6% in the coming months, contingent on economic indicators pointing towards a slowdown. If economic conditions continue to deteriorate, mortgage rates could even breach the 6% threshold, providing a silver lining for borrowers.
