Episode 153: Why Fed Rate Cuts Don’t Mean Lower Mortgage Rates
Send a text
When the Federal Reserve announces a rate cut, most people expect mortgage rates to drop too. But here’s the truth: Fed funds rates and mortgage rates aren’t directly tied, and that’s where so much confusion comes in.
In this week’s episode of Loans Elevated, we break down the difference between Fed rate cuts, Treasury yields, and mortgage-backed securities. We explain why mortgage rates often move before Fed announcements, why the 10-year Treasury is the real market to watch, and how jobs data is currently the single biggest driver of mortgage rates.
Whether you’re a homebuyer wondering if now is the right time to lock, or a real estate agent advising clients, this episode gives you the tools to cut through the headlines and understand what actually moves mortgage rates. Timing matters—and knowing the difference between hype and reality can save thousands on a monthly payment.
