After the most recent Fed rate hike, where are mortgage rates headed?
OUR ACTIONS. SOLEDAD: LANCE FREEMAN IS A SCHOLAR OF URBAN HOUSING AND GENTRIFICATION. HE IS A PROFESSOR OF CITY AND REGIONAL PLANNING, AND SOCIOLOGY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. PROFESSOR FREEMAN, THANK YOU FOR TALKING WITH ME. SO, THE WOMAN IN THAT PIECE, FATIMA LASTER, WANTED TO RECLAIM AND PRESERVE HER NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING THERE. SO, I맥스카지노D LIKE YOU TO WALK US THROUGH WHAT ARE THE FORCES THAT SHE맥스카지노S FIGHTING AGAINST WHEN IT COMES TO GENTRIFICATION. PROFESSOR FREEMAN: QUITE OFTEN WHAT맥스카지노S HAPPENING IS WHAT WE맥스카지노RE SEEING IS A TENSION BETWEEN A HOME COMMUNITY, THE SENTIMENTAL VALUES THAT PEOPLE ATTACH TO WHERE THEY LIVE, AND MARKET FORCES. GENTRIFICATION IS OFTENTIMES ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED INVESTMENT. AND WITH THAT, THAT COULD CREATE CHANGES IN HOUSING PRICES, CHANGES IN THE RETAIL LANDSCAPE. AND THAT CAN CLASH WITH THE SENTIMENTAL VALUES, THE SENSE OF COMMUNITY THAT PEOPLE ATTACH TO THEIR PLACES. SOLEDAD: I THINK IT맥스카지노S REALLY TRUE HOW OUTSIDERS, WHEN THEY COME INTO COMMUNITIES THAT ARE BEING GENTRIFIED, THEY TALK ABOUT ALL THAT맥스카지노S BEING GAINED. TALK ABOUT A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT맥스카지노S LOST. PROFESSOR FREEMAN: IT COULD MEAN A LOSS OF RELATIONSHIPS. YOU COULD LOSE YOUR FRIENDS. SOMETIMES PEOPLE LIVE IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD AS A CLOSE FAMILY MEMBER, SO THEY COULD BE LOSING MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILY. IT COULD BE A LOCAL CHURCH, FOR EXAMPLE, IF MANY OF THE CONGREGATION, MOVE AWAY FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD, THE CHURCH ITSELF MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO SURVIVE. SOLEDAD: I ALWAYS WONDER, CAN YOU HAVE THE GOOD THINGS WITHOUT SORT OF DISPLACING ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO LEAVE AND CAN맥스카지노T GET THE BENEFIT OF THOSE GOOD THINGS? PROFESSOR FREEMAN: I THINK YOU NEED TO PUT IN PLACE MECHANISMS THAT ALLOW, SAY, FOR EXAMPLE, LOW-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS TO CONTINUE TO MOVE INTO A GENTRIFYING NEIGHBORHOOD. THAT COULD BE DONE, FOR EXAMPLE, THROUGH INCLUSIONARY ZONING, WHEREBY NEW HOUSING THAT IS BUILT INCLUDES BOTH MARKET RATE HOUSING, BUT THEN ALSO AN AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPONENT. YOU CAN ALSO DO THINGS LIKE AFFORDABLE HOMEOWNERSHIP PROGRAMS. THIS GIVES LOW INCOME AND MODERATE-INCOME HOUSEHOLDS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE A STAKE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD SO THAT AS PROPERTY VALUES RISE, AS WEALTH IS CREATED, PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN THE COMMUNITY HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT. SOLEDAD: PROFESSOR LANCE FREEMA

After the most recent Fed rate hike, where are mortgage rates headed?
The Federal Reserve hiked its benchmark lending rate this week for the seventh time this year, capping a year of intense pressure on the housing market that pushed mortgage rates above 7% for the first time since 2002.But now that the Fed has signaled a softer approach to cooling the economy instead of rolling out bumper rate hikes, potential home buyers are left to wonder: Will mortgage rates come back down?

No one knows exactly where mortgage rates will go in the months ahead. But most experts agree that we have seen the end of 3% mortgages for some time.

Mortgage rates have run up so far and so fast this year that many would-be homebuyers can no longer afford to buy a home. At the end of 2022, when rates were at 3%, few predicted that just a year later rates around this week맥스카지노s 6.33% would come as a relief, having dropped from over 7%.

After starting the year at an average 3.22%, according to Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage took off last spring as the Federal Reserve embarked on a historic campaign to battle decades-high inflation by raising interest rates. By fall, mortgage rates had more than doubled, eventually topping 7% in October. Rates have receded slightly in recent weeks, but loans are still expensive 맥스카지노 especially compared to the historically low rates buyers were getting during the pandemic.

Home shoppers have watched their buying power evaporate, with higher rates adding hundreds of dollars onto what they would pay each month.

High mortgage rates remain the primary impediment to home buying, according to a recent buyer and seller sentiment survey conducted by Fannie Mae. Homebuying and home-selling sentiment are both significantly lower than they were last year.

Based on the survey, people in the real estate market continue to expect mortgage rates to rise but home prices to decline, said Doug Duncan, Fannie Mae senior vice president and chief economist.

Is this the new normal?

While the Fed맥스카지노s rate hikes are expected to continue, many analysts anticipate they will be smaller than the recent bout of three-quarter-point hikes and as inflation starts to cool, which should mean mortgage rates will likely come down too.

The Fed does not set the interest rates borrowers pay on mortgages directly. But its actions influence them. Mortgage rates tend to track the yield on 10-year US Treasury bonds, which move based on a combination of anticipation about the Fed맥스카지노s actions, what the Fed actually does and investors맥스카지노 reactions.

What buyers can expect

Lisa Sturtevant, chief economist at Bright MLS, a multiple listing service in the mid-Atlantic region, also expects mortgage rates to fall further in 2023, but she doesn맥스카지노t expect them to drop quickly.
