SHOULD YOU BUY A HOUSE IF YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT INFLATATION?


You’ve probably noticed prices are going up.
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) - which gauges inflation- recently hit its highest point since 1982. When this happens, the Federal Reserve must act by raising the federal funds rate to make the cost of borrowing more expensive. Investors now expect as much as a 50 basis point increase from the Fed in March, which will ultimately lead to higher mortgage rates. 


If you’re thinking about buying a house, now is the time to act.
