What happens to mortgage rates when the Fed cuts interest rates, and why don’t homeowners always see the drop they expect? Quinton Harris and Dan Habib break down the recent Fed decision, explain why mortgage rates haven’t fallen the way buyers hoped, and share what the upcoming jobs report means for the future of housing and refinancing opportunities. “The countdown is on to October 3rd and 4th—don’t wait if your rate window is here.” – Quinton Harris
