The Federal Reserve has just raised its key interest rate by 0.25%, bringing it to a range of 3.75%-4%—the first adjustment since July 2023. While officials are still keeping a close eye on inflation, which is running above their 2% target, they signaled that another rate hike may be on the horizon later this year. The next review is set for October 27-28, 2026, when the Fed will reassess economic conditions. Shifts like these in interest rates aren’t just headlines—they ripple through our local High Desert real estate market, impacting everything from buyer affordability to seller strategy.
