Bottom line: The best time to buy or sell is when it aligns with your lifestyle, not the news cycle. Because rates can change — but your dream home (or your ideal buyer) won’t wait forever.

🏠 For sellers: Don’t pause your plans out of fear. The market rewards readiness, presentation, and strategy — not perfect timing. Inventory is tight, and serious buyers are still out there.

🏡 For buyers: Silicon Valley buyers are some of the most strategic around. You know the best time to buy is when it aligns with your life and long-term goals, not when trying to outguess headlines.

So when the Fed cuts rates, investors sometimes expect inflation to rise — and that can push mortgage rates up, not down. It’s counterintuitive, but it makes sense once you know how money markets move. 💡

The Fed Funds Rate affects short-term lending — credit cards, auto loans, and some home equity lines. Mortgage rates follow long-term bond yields and investor expectations about inflation.

You’ve seen the headlines: 📉 The Fed lowered rates! 📈 Mortgage rates jumped! Sounds backward, right? But the Fed doesn’t actually set mortgage rates.

Fed cut rates… yet mortgage rates went up? 🤔 Here’s the truth — they don’t move together. The market reacts to expectations, not headlines. 🏡 Real estate moves should align with your life, not rate chatter. #BayAreaHousingMarket #MortgageRates #FedRateCut #AprilTavaresRealtor

🚨 Warren Buffett just bet nearly $1 BILLION on housing 🚨 Invested in D.R. Horton + Lennar, the biggest U.S. homebuilders. 💡 “Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful.” 👉 Buffett’s in… what about you? 🏡 #HousingMarket #Buffett #RealEstate
