Biggest rate raise since 2000, just heard on radio. The big raise was to combat inflation.

Very good question, as that largely drives our economy.

Sheila Jackson Lee showing her economic prowess just now on Fox pissed that they raised the rate. Cause poor people won’t be able to buy houses now. How many times are we gonna ruin the country by forcing banks to give loans to people that can’t repay them? Also given the rate of inflation the feds had absolutely no choice it’s like a snowball rolling down a Mt.

SJL has ignorant down to an art form.

Remember her “town hall” meetings during the ObamaCare push?

She was taking calls and ignoring constituents trying to talk to her.

Inflation.
High interest rates.

That's what you get with Democrats in office.

wont matter, it needs to be about 5.00% just to even start making a difference, but they are all about playing politics so they are not managing interest rates based on the data as is required

Black Rock will keep it afloat. The mortgage market, well that's another problem. I'm already having issues getting buyers approved. Gonna price a whole sector of them out at 6.5% when there's not a house to be found in a decent area under $250K.

I’m guessing that since people still need s place to live and that rents will always match or exceed the cost of ownership in the aggregate (or else why get in the rental business) that people will start buying in areas they previously didn’t consider “decent” and new home builders will adjust and start building more affordable homes.
