The Fed Factor: September 16–17, 2025
All eyes are on Washington. The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will meet September 16–17, with a press conference on the 17th. Analysts from Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and BlackRock all point to a 25-basis-point cut as the most likely outcome.
Markets agree: the probability of a cut is hovering between 85–90%. What does this mean for real estate? Mortgage rates will lower, bringing more buyers into the market. When that happens, homes move faster, competition intensifies, and prices trend upward. This next month is the sweet spot to buy, while 2026 and 2027 will be hot markets to sell—faster and for higher dollar.
The smart move:
- Begin now—shop, make offers, negotiate.
- Structure your closing date for late September, just after the Fed meeting, so you can lock in a lower rate.
- Beat the rush—lock in before the low interest rates drive home prices up due to to hot and active housing market.
