As Realtors, our job is to educate our clients, and that means learning about things that aren’t in your wheelhouse.
A 0.25 basis point move is not enough to significantly change interest rates. Could they move? Sure. Should they move? Yes. We have a whole generation that thinks 3 percent is normal, and it’s just not. The Fed rate and saving rates need to move for the good of the economy.
So right now, you should call your clients, and let them know what’s happening. Make it clear that you’re there for them because they might be slightly panicking.
