The Feds rate hikes ... have a lot more to them than one would imagine.
if they hike or they do not hike ..is more about how the market reacts. If the Feds were anticipated to hike and they didnt you will see interest go up (temper tantrum)
if the say the will hike and they do ..then rates normally improve
interest rates are highly sensitive to instability in other countries - when other countries are having issues - investors place their money in the US Mortgage Back Securities for safety.. this makes normallly go down.
when the money is pulled back out this normally makes the rates go up.
If the. Feds are selling Tresuries and the sell doesnt go well then normally rates will go up ..
as you can tell there is a lot more to your question..
depending on your state and the reason you want or need to buy real estate is a big factor in your decision..
