The Fed held rates steady at its latest meeting, citing persistent inflation and a strong labor market. While Chair Powell hinted that rates may remain on pause for some time, mortgage rates have stayed relatively calm—hovering near6.10%, per Freddie Mac.

Meanwhile, the broader economy continues to show strength. GDP surged at a4.4% annualized pace, signaling resilient consumer activity—even as job growth remains unusually low. A fascinating contradiction that suggests productivity gains… or a market recalibrating beneath the surface.

🏡Housing Watch:
After slowing for most of 2025, the Case-Shiller Home Price Index is showing renewed momentum. National prices are essentially flat year-over-year, but month-over-month gains are picking up—and spreading across major metros. Lower mortgage rates are quietly reigniting buyer demand.

Translation?
While headlines may feel mixed,price momentum is shifting upward—and informed buyers and sellers are already positioning themselves accordingly.

Luxury real estate isn’t about reacting late. It’s about understanding the signals early—and moving with intention.
