Should I wait to buy a house? What are interest rates going to do? First, let me say that I completely understand your hesitancy. With high interest rates and soaring house prices, anyone could argue that it seems like a terrible time to buy a house. However, let's set aside opinions and focus on some facts. To predict where interest rates are headed, we need to look at their past behavior and reasons. In history, interest rates mostly followed inflation, except for temporary cases. Why is there inflation now? It is estimated that COVID caused $14 trillion in economic damage to our country. Putting so much money into the economy leads to inflation for years.

Powell's Surprising Soft Tone Shocks Markets! Will GDP Boom or Bust Tomorrow? Click to Find Out!

Alright, folks, let's break it down! Yesterday, the Fed raised interest rates by .25 basis points, which was totally expected by the money gurus. It's like they had it on their radar way before it even happened, and the lenders were already like, "Yeah, we saw that coming, no big deal!" So rates saw virtually no movement from the announcement. But wait, the real drama happened during Fed chair Powell's press conference. He dropped some lines that made investors go all ears. Instead of the usual "Let's raise rates and keep 'em high!" stance, he said, "Hey, maybe we'll take a chill pill and see how things play out before hiking again." And guess what? The market went like, "Oooh, we like this softer tone, Mr. Powell, keep it coming!" Buuut, today wasn't so peachy. There were these big reports on GDP, durable goods sales, and jobs, and they were all screaming strong! Sounds good, right? Nope! The market was like, "Ho
