Waiting on next week's Fed meeting before deciding what to do?

One announcement won't tell you exactly where mortgage rates go next.

Rates barely moved Friday, even as expectations changed around what the Fed may do next week. At the same time, buyers may be getting a little more room in the housing market. Inventory is up nearly 6% from last year, and fewer homes are selling above asking.

That can mean more choices and more opportunities to negotiate when the right home comes along.

If buying is on your radar, focus on what you can control. Know the payment range that works for you, keep your pre-approval current, and be ready if a better rate window opens or the right property appears.
