74- What the Fed rate hike means for homebuyers

What the Fed rate hike means for homebuyers

It's a tough market for homebuyers. Prices are high and supply of available homes is low.
And while the Federal Reserve's rate hike could make home buying more expensive, house hunters shouldn't start panicking yet.
The Fed increased its benchmark interest rate by one-quarter of a percentage point on Wednesday.
The Fed doesn't directly set mortgage rates, but its actions can affect the housing market.
Mortgage rates tend to move with the government's 10-year Treasury note, which serves as a benchmark for many forms of credit, including mortgages. Interest rates on the notes have already risen since Donald Trump was elected president and on signals the Fed would continue to tighten monetary policy.
But Wednesday's hike was widely expected, meaning the markets had already priced it in. So many experts don't see rates moving much higher in the coming weeks.
"The last couple of times the Fed made a move, the rates firmed up in advance of the decision, and when it happened they kind of faded," said Keith Gumbinger , vice president of HSH.com.
The Fed has now raised rates three times since the end of 2015. Following the first hike in December 2015, mortgage rates started 2016 with a drop for the first few weeks.
