A quick market insights. Sales of starter homes went up by 3.9% in June, hitting their highest level in 2 years. The median price for these homes was $260,000. Fed Chair Jerome Powell talked about housing affordability, explaining that the Federal Reserve rate only affects mortgage rates a little. According to ICE, mortgage payment delinquencies increased in June, and foreclosures were higher compared to last year. The Federal Reserve decided to keep interest rates the same during this week's meeting, as they watch how tariffs are affecting the economy and inflation. In June, the PCE inflation index had one of its biggest jumps this year, but consumer spending barely increased, showing that tariffs are having an impact. Even so, several reports this week show that the job market is still strong, That supports the Fed's decision to hold rates steady for now. Found this helpful? Please like our post and tag a friend.
