Mortgage Market

This week, the news cycle was nonstop, but the capital markets were focused on the future direction of Fed monetary policy and release of the most recent inflation readings. Fed Chair Powell gave his semi-annual congressional testimony on Capitol Hill and purposely did not foreshadow the timing of future rate cuts. However, despite stating economic growth is still solid, he acknowledged the economy as having a two-sided risk of increasing unemployment at the same time as inflation still being above its 2% target. In a vacuum, this does not mean any imminent action by our central bank, but a cooling labor market indicates the Fed's dual mandate to achieve employment and inflation objectives are becoming more balanced.

Consumer inflation numbers released Thursday dipped for the first time in more than four years putting the consumer inflation rate at its lowest level in more than three years (rate friendly). June producer inflation readings released Friday offset some of this week’s rate improvements by coming in slightly hotter than expected. Overall, rates for most programs ended the week slightly lower than last.

The Fed's preferred inflation gauge PCE will be released on the last Friday of this month. Next week, I will be monitoring retail sales figures that account for two-thirds of domestic economic activity and the European Central Bank's statement on the direction of their future monetary policy for any potential impact on mortgage rates.

Did You Know?

Topic: Federal Reserve’s “dual mandate”

Did You Know the U.S. Federal Reserve’s mandate was shaped in the 1977 Federal Reserve Act during a time when our economy experienced simultaneous high inflation and unemployment? Congress explicitly stated the Fed’s goals should be “maximum employment, stable prices, and moderate long-term interest rates.” These goals, which remain today, came to be known as the Fed’s “dual mandate.”

Monetary policy refers to tools used by a central bank to directly control the country’s money supply which indirectly contracts or expands economic activity. For the past two years the Federal Reserve has employed contractionary monetary policy by raising interest rates with the goal of:
Reduce Demand for Goods & Services
Lowering the Rate of Inflation
Reduce Labor Market Pressures
Economists will be closely monitoring reporting on inflation, consumer spending and labor data in the coming weeks and months to gauge when the Fed will both begin to cut interest rates as well as to forecast by how much.

Working with a real estate agent is great if you want to just buy or sell a house, but a real estate Agent-Investor will go a step further. How? They will advise you on all your options so you can increase your wealth through real estate in the long run.

First, Agent-Investors are generally more knowledgeable about the local real estate market and the factors that can affect the value of investment properties. Why? Because they are investors themselves and see which opportunities can potentially bring the most profit. They can help you determine the right price for your home based on local market conditions and comparable sales.

Second, Agent-Investors often have access to off-market properties that are not listed on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service), which can give their clients an advantage in a competitive market. This could help potential buyers see your home before it is even on the market.

Third, Agent-Investors can also help you identify strategies for maximizing the returns. Effective marketing can help attract more potential buyers to your home, which can result in a faster sale and a higher sale price. They can also help you navigate the negotiation process and advocate for your interests.

The good news is anyone can start their real estate investing journey. I will be happy to connect you with a GRID® Agent-Investor Certified advisor for a free consultation. GRID® is the world's largest agent-lead investor network in the world. Let’s see what options lie in front of you.
