Fed Cuts Interest Rates – It’s a Great Time to Buy a New Home!

August 1, 2019

Fox Business reported in a recent article that the Federal Reserves cut interest rates on Wednesday for the first time since the start of the financial recession more than a decade ago, hoping to preserve the 11-year economic expansion. 

During its two-day meeting, the Federal Open Market Committee voted to ease the benchmark federal funds rate by 25 basis points.

In approving the cut — the range is now between 2 percent and 2.25 percent — the U.S. central bank cited “the implications of global developments in the economic outlook as well as muted inflation pressures.”
