The Fed’s impact on rates and the housing market

This week, just as the Federal Reserve hikes its benchmark rate in the biggest move since 1994, HousingWire’s Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami joins HW Media CEO Clayton Collins to give the rundown on the relationship between the Fed’s fund rate and mortgage interest rates.

They also discuss some of the misconceptions between the two, other highlights of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting and what market predictions can be gleaned from the data.

The Housing News podcast explores the most important topics happening in mortgage and real estate. Each week a new mortgage, real estate or proptech executive joins the show to add perspective to the top stories crossing HousingWire’s news desk. Hosted by Clayton Collins and produced by Elissa Branch.
