Reduced Federal interest rate boosts prospects for New York real estate market
The Federal Reserve has made a significant move by cutting interest rates for the first time this year, and it could potentially lead to a renewed period of housing activity in New York after years of tight conditions.
The benchmark rate now stands at 4-4.25%, a decrease that experts suggest may signal the start of renewed housing activity. Jeff DerGurahian from loanDepot, Chris Zaccarelli from Northlight Asset Management, and Art Hogan from B. Riley Wealth are among those who have explained that lowering interest rates has the potential to increase the purchasing power of home buyers.
This interest rate cut could kickstart stalled construction projects and boost homebuyers' buying power, leading to a potential boom in the New York housing market. However, it's important to note that the impact may not lower mortgage rates overnight.
