The Fed Announces Rates Will Hold Steady

February 5, 2021 By Claire Garlick Leave a Comment

The Federal Funds Rate is staying the same at 0 to .25%.

The Fed’s interest rate decision doesn’t directly affect mortgage rates, but today’s rates remain historically low.

Home owners and home buyers can take advantage of today’s low rates by:

Buying a new home
Refinancing to get a lower rate or eliminate mortgage insurance
Financing home renovations
Funding major expenses (like college tuition)
Consolidating debt*

Curious about the Fed’s key short-term rate? Learn more in this article.

Don’t hesitate to reach out for a conversation about home financing.

* Debt consolidation does not pay off the debt, please consult a financial advisor regarding the effect of consolidating short term debt into long-term debt.
