  45. <p>CAPE CORAL, Fla. — The Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to cut interest rates Wednesday sparked renewed optimism among Southwest Florida real estate brokers, who said they hope it will help kickstart a sluggish real estate market. </p>
  46. <p><b><i>WATCH: FOX 4&#8217;s Hunter Walterman sits down with Cape Coral brokers after Federal Reserve cuts interest rate: </i></b></p>
  47. <p><span class="VideoEnhancement" data-video-disable-history=""></p>
  48. <p>Could interest rate cuts help jumpstart Cape Coral housing market? Local brokers weigh in</p>
  49. <p></span></p>
  50. <p>Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced a quarter point cut Wednesday &#8211;  the first cut since December. </p>
  51. <p>It&#8217;s a much-anticipated move that has mortgage brokers and real estate agents fielding calls from clients eager to understand what it could mean for their home buying or selling plans.</p>
  52. <p>&#8220;They [the Fed] are moving in the right direction, downward now&#8221; said Tony Lee, owner of Edison Mortgage, Inc. in Cape Coral. </p>
  53. <p>The cut comes as parts of Southwest Florida&#8217;s housing market slowed from red-hot pandemic highs. In Lee County, homes currently spend an average of 107 days on the market, according to Realtor.com — nearly a month longer than last year.</p>
  54. <p>&#8220;Sales have definitely slowed down,&#8221; said Nathaniel Hajjami, a Cape Coral realtor who said some potential buyers retreated to the sidelines.</p>
  55. <p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a lot of people that I&#8217;ve been working with that decided, let&#8217;s wait and see what happens,&#8221; Hajjami said.</p>
  56. <p>Cape Coral&#8217;s housing inventory has returned to pre-pandemic levels, Hajjami said, with more than 3,000 single-family homes currently for sale, <a class="Link" href="https://mls.foreclosure.com/listing/search.html?q=Cape%20Coral,%20FL&amp;pi=&amp;pa=&amp;bdi=&amp;bhi=&amp;pt=sf&amp;boundingTopLeft=&amp;boundingBottomRight=&amp;zm=&amp;st=fl&amp;cno=&amp;ci=cape%20coral&amp;ps=&amp;pg=&amp;o=&amp;ob=&amp;zip=&amp;loc=cape%20coral,%20FL&amp;view=list&amp;">according to MLS.com.</a></p>
  57. <p>Many clients remain unable to afford homes, Hajjami said. That&#8217;s partially because some sellers and real estate  agents have remained stubborn on price, Lee said. </p>
  58. <p>&#8220;They still think the house might be the 2022 price, when it&#8217;s not,&#8221; Lee said.</p>
  59. <p>Home prices have started to tick down &#8211; somewhat dramatically in some parts of Southwest Florida. A <a class="Link" href="https://www.fox4now.com/north-port-englewood/report-north-port-home-prices-see-biggest-price-drop-in-country">Consumer Affairs report</a> finds North Port home prices dropped more than anywhere else in the country over the past year. </p>
  60. <p>In August, the median Lee County home sale price was $355,000, according to Realtor.com &#8211; that&#8217;s down from $375,000 in August of last year. </p>
  61. <p>&#8220;We&#8217;ve had insurance go up, we had interest rates go up, and we had house prices go up quite a bit from the whole COVID everybody moving down to Florida bit,&#8221; Lee said. </p>
  62. <p>&#8220;So now we&#8217;re starting to see interest rates go down, insurance has kind of stabilized a little bit, we&#8217;re getting some new carriers coming into the state of Florida,&#8221; Lee said. &#8220;So we are starting to see a little bit more competitive pricing there, which is good.&#8221;</p>
  63. <p>However, the Fed&#8217;s rate cut doesn&#8217;t guarantee home prices will drop. Over the past two decades, home prices increased faster than income across much of the country, according to a <a class="Link" href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/featured-stories/rent-house-prices-and-demographics">U.S. Treasury report</a> </p>
  64. <p>&#8220;We don&#8217;t set mortgage rates, but our policy rate changes do tend to affect mortgage rates,&#8221; Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Thursday.</p>
  65. <p> In August, the <a class="Link" href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/05/economy/us-jobs-report-august-final">U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported</a> that unemployment rose to 4.3%, the highest level since 2021. That same report finds U.S. job growth slowed, signaling a stagnant economy.  </p>
  66. <p>&#8220;There&#8217;s a deeper problem here, there&#8217;s not a cyclical problem that the Fed can address,&#8221; Powell said. &#8220;And that just is a pretty much nationwide housing shortage.&#8221;</p>
  67. <p>Despite this caveat, brokers said they remain optimistic about Wednesday&#8217;s announcement. Both Lee and Hajjami said a lower rate could increase affordability for home buyers. </p>
  68. <p>However, it would likely take more than a year &#8211; and more rate cuts &#8211; for that to happen, Lee said. On Wednesday, the Federal Reserve <a class="Link" href="https://www.cnn.com/business/live-news/federal-reserve-interest-rate-09-17-25">signaled an appetite </a>for future cuts. </p>
  69. <p>&#8220;There&#8217;s more good news to come,&#8221; Lee said.</p>

  120. <p class="block core-block">He added, &#8220;This isn&#8217;t a collapse, but it is a market digesting several years of unsustainable growth. It is a long-term market correction.&#8221;</p>

  124. <p class="block core-block">Still, most homeowners remain well-positioned. The average American borrower holds about $307,000 in equity, the third-highest level on record, Cotality Chief Economist Selma Hepp said. </p>

  126. <p class="block core-block">Even in markets hit hardest, such as Washington, D.C., and Florida—where equity fell $34,000 and $32,000, respectively—owners still retain six-figure cushions.</p>

  128. <p class="block core-block">&#8220;Not to sound dismissive of $9,200, money is money,&#8221; said Jules Garcia, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Warburg. </p>
  129. <p><!--/$--><!--$--></p>
  130. <p class="block core-block">&#8220;But when compared to the six-figure equity many homeowners still hold, $9,200 doesn&#8217;t seem as dire.&#8221;</p>

  188. <p>           <br />   A Seoul court fined Naver 200 million won ($144,000) on Thursday for violating fair trade laws by preventing rival Kakao from entering the real estate listings market.  <br />      <br />   The presiding judge at the Seoul Central District Court said the court recognized Naver&#8217;s violation of the Fair Trade Act.  <br />      <br />  &#8220;Naver strengthened its dominant market position by requiring partner real estate companies to block cooperation with potential competitors,&#8221; the judge said. &#8220;This significantly restricted business opportunities for real estate information providers and had major social consequences.&#8221;  <br />      <br />   In February 2015, after Kakao approached Naver&#8217;s real estate partners to pitch a similar business model, Naver added a clause to its renewal contracts requiring partners &#8220;not to provide real estate listings shared with Naver to any third parties.&#8221; Critics said the move shut Kakao out of the market.  <br />      <br />   The Fair Trade Commission (FTC) concluded in December 2020 that Naver’s actions violated the Fair Trade Act and ordered corrective measures along with a 1.03 billion won fine. The Ministry of SMEs and Startups later exercised its right to request a criminal complaint in November 2021, and prosecutors indicted Naver in September 2022.  <br />      <br />   Naver has separately filed an administrative lawsuit seeking to overturn the FTC fine. The case is ongoing at the Seoul High Court.  </p>

  222.    FRANKFURT (dpa-AFX) &#8211; Rising prices, increased transactions, and bolder buyers: Germany&#8217;s real estate market is regaining momentum. However, higher mortgage rates are weighing on buyers. Experts anticipate that the four percent mark could soon be reached.
  223. </p>
  224. <p>    The Hamburg-based Gewos Institute for Urban, Regional, and Housing Research expects a significant increase in purchases of apartments, single-family homes, and building land in 2025. &#8220;The reluctance to buy in the German real estate market is gradually dissolving, with private buyers in particular returning to the market,&#8221; writes Gewos real estate expert Sebastian Wunsch.
  225. </p>
  226. <p><!-- Article --></p>
  227. <p>&#8220;Growing Confidence Among Buyers&#8221;</p>
  228. <p>    Specifically, the institute expects the number of residential property purchases to rise to around 656,000 this year&#8211;a jump of more than 14 percent compared to 2024. This is according to a study made available to the German Press Agency, based on an analysis of completed sales contracts.
  229. </p>
  230. <p>    Turnover from single-family homes, condominiums, multi-family buildings, and residential land is projected to climb by 18 percent to around €221 billion, up from approximately €188 billion last year. This shows the real estate market continuing its recovery from the setback that began in 2022, when sharply rising interest rates ended the boom and caused prices to fall.
  231. </p>
  232. <p>    Wunsch notes that potential buyers are increasingly confident in their ability to finance a property. Additionally, some people are turning to homeownership due to high rental prices.
  233. </p>
  234. <p>    At least for single-family homes and existing condominiums, the pre-crisis level of 2021 is expected to be surpassed, according to the forecast. The first half of the year was strong, leading to expectations of a roughly 13 percent increase in purchases for 2025. However, purchases of building land and new-build apartments remain more than 40 percent below pre-crisis levels.
  235. </p>
  236. <p>Four Percent Mortgage Rates on the Horizon?</p>
  237. <p>    However, buyers will generally have to cope with rising loan interest rates. According to FMH Financial Consulting, ten-year property loans recently carried an annual rate of about 3.7 percent. Twelve months ago, the rate was just 3.3 percent.
  238. </p>
  239. <p>    FMH founder Max Herbst considers a rise to 4 percent by the end of the year possible. He points out that mortgage rates are not tied to the European Central Bank&#8217;s lower key interest rates, but rather to the yield on ten-year German government bonds. These could rise further due to economic stagnation and increasing government debt: &#8220;It depends on whether investors believe Germany can achieve an economic turnaround, trust the Federal Republic as a debtor, or demand higher risk premiums.&#8221;
  240. </p>
  241. <p>Prices Still Subdued</p>
  242. <p>    Since buyers often finance large sums with loans, even small interest rate increases can become costly. However, Herbst does not believe the real estate market&#8217;s recovery will end abruptly. &#8220;In 2022, mortgage rates rose from one to 3.3 percent in just half a year.&#8221; Such a rapid increase is not occurring now.
  243. </p>
  244. <p>    Potential buyers also have more options again and are benefiting from slightly lower prices, according to Gewos expert Wunsch. The current price level for existing apartments is still 6 percent below the record set during the last real estate boom, while single-family homes are 7 percent below that peak.

  280. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Aileen Barrameda is planning to buy a house in Los Angeles in the coming months. Stubbornly high mortgage rates &#8211; twice what she locked in at the start of the coronavirus pandemic &#8211; are not putting her off.</p>
  281. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;If I have the means to get in the market, I might as well get in now, because homes are just going to get more expensive,&#8221; Aileen said.</p>
  282. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">The cost of housing is a key concern among Americans and a political talking point. US President Donald Trump had raised hopes that interest rate cuts from the Fed would help Americans get mortgages.</p>
  283. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">The average rate on the 30-year mortgage, the most popular home loan in the US, fell to 6.35% last week, according to Freddie Mac. This marked the largest weekly decline in the past year and the lowest level in 11 months.</p>
  284. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">However, for buyers like Aileen, borrowing costs are not guaranteed to come down much more than they already have despite the Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate cut on Wednesday.</p>

  292. <div data-component="text-block" class="sc-3b6b161a-0 jdlrvG">
  293. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">The Federal Reserve&#8217;s interest rate decisions do not directly affect mortgage rates. But they do affect what banks charge each other to borrow money.</p>
  294. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">That then influences what banks charge their own customers for loans such as mortgages as well as the interest rate they pay on savings.</p>
  295. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">However, US banks had already cut mortgage rates in anticipation of the Fed rate cut that happened this week, meaning mortgage rates may not fall much further. Prospective home buyers waiting for substantially more easing might be disappointed.</p>
  296. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Fed chair Jerome Powell, speaking to journalists on Wednesday, said as much.</p>
  297. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;Most analysts think it would have to be pretty big change in rates to matter a lot for the housing sector,&#8221; he said, while acknowledging that lower interest rates might boost demand and help builders.</p>
  298. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Meanwhile, the risk of rising inflation could push mortgage rates up if banks anticipate this means the Fed will not cut rates any further any time soon. The Fed and other central banks tend to avoid cutting borrowing costs up if they feel inflation is too high.</p>
  299. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;I do think that people are expecting a big impact from this,&#8221; said Nicole Stewart, a real estate agent with Redfin in Boise, Idaho, referring to the Fed&#8217;s rate cut this week.</p>
  300. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been trying to inform most of my buyers, as well as my sellers, that we&#8217;ve already seen the majority of what&#8217;s going to happen.&#8221;</p>
  301. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Ms Stewart said a fall in mortgage rates over the past month has encouraged some buyers. Over the span of just one weekend earlier this month, Ms Stewart wrote four offers and put three deals under contract.</p>
  302. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;A huge increase from anything in past few years&#8221;, she said.</p>
  303. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">But the US housing market remains unaffordable for many people. That issue is unlikely to be resolved by future Fed decisions, or by the recent dip in mortgage rates.</p>
  304. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Many homeowners secured unusually low mortgage rates &#8211; in the 3% range &#8211; at the height of the coronavirus pandemic, which they are hesitant to give up by selling their home. As such, homeowners who might otherwise downsize are choosing to stay put, reducing the amount of housing available for purchase and driving up home prices. </p>
  305. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Roughly 80% of mortgage borrowers have locked in a rate below the current average of 6.35%, said Julia Fonseca, an associate finance professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.</p>
  306. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">While every decline in mortgage rates helps loosen the market a little bit, there are no signs of substantial relief on the horizon, Ms Fonseca said.</p>
  307. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;We might be still a long way from normalising these markets,&#8221; she said.</p>

  316. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Kristin Carlson, a prospective first-time buyer in the Boise area, has been scoping out the market for four years, while renting in the meantime.</p>
  317. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">For Kristin, easing mortgage rates in recent weeks means she is &#8220;just that much closer to pulling the trigger&#8221;. She said she is eager to purchase soon, to get ahead of a possible scenario in which rates fall substantially further, spurring more competition.</p>
  318. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Borrowing costs are factoring into Ms Carlson&#8217;s thinking when it comes to the type of home that is feasible for her to purchase &#8211; the neighbourhood, the size, the quality of the builder.</p>
  319. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Still, mortgage rates are taking a backseat to other considerations, including seasonality and finding a home that is the right fit for her needs.</p>
  320. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">Modestly lower mortgage rates are offering some relief and spurring activity among buyers, said Matt Vernon, the head of consumer lending at Bank of America. But bigger picture, the dip is not set to be enough to fix a housing market under strain.</p>
  321. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;There&#8217;s cautious optimism that we&#8217;re headed in the right direction,&#8221; Mr Vernon said.</p>
  322. <p class="sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ">&#8220;I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s necessarily changed buyers&#8217; perception of the challenges in the market, but it&#8217;s certainly got their attention.&#8221;</p>

  346. <p class="text | article-text">NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) &#8211; Soaring property insurance premiums in Louisiana, coupled with elevated mortgage interest rates, have long weighed on the New Orleans metro housing market. But Jamie Hughes is starting to see signs of a rebound.</p>
  347. <p class="text | article-text">“I feel like we’re coming out of the rough spot now,” said Jamie Hughes, a Realtor with Reve Realtors in New Orleans.</p>
  348. <p class="text | article-text">According to the New Orleans Metropolitan Association of Realtors, home sales in August in Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Tammany parishes rose compared to the same month last year. With the Federal Reserve’s recent interest rate cut, Hughes believes more local inventory could move, especially if mortgage rates drop below their current level of around 6%.</p>
  349. <p class="text | article-text">“If we go under 6%, I think that will bring a lot more buyers back into the market. There were many that were sitting on the sidelines for the past couple of years for various reasons,” Hughes said.</p>
  350. <p class="text | article-text">Although additional rate cuts are expected in the coming months, some potential homebuyers may delay purchasing in hopes of securing lower rates. Still, Hughes cautions against waiting too long.</p>
  351. <p class="text | article-text">“I think the time to buy is whenever you find the right house that you can afford. And waiting may not help you. You can always refinance, but when rates get lower, the competition in the market gets higher, and you may not get the house you had your eye on,” Hughes said.</p>
  352. <p class="text | article-text">The effects of lower interest rates may ripple beyond residential housing. Businesses and consumers looking to borrow could also benefit, according to Jim Spiro, managing director with Morgan Stanley in New Orleans.</p>
  353. <p class="text | article-text">“Businesses should benefit nicely because they’re constantly borrowing money and trying to grow their business, trying to expand, perhaps trying to hire new people,” Spiro said.</p>
  354. <p class="text | article-text">However, the local real estate market faces deeper structural issues. Professor Ken Johnson, a real estate economist at the University of Mississippi, points to persistent population decline as a core challenge.</p>
  355. <p class="text | article-text">Johnson, who analyzed housing prices and rental trends in the New Orleans metro area, described the region as “perhaps the toughest” market in the country. He attributes the struggle largely to a shrinking population.</p>
  356. <p class="text | article-text">“There’s just not enough demand. As your population either slowly grows or declines, and New Orleans is slightly declining right now, you eventually start to have vacant houses, which become blighted houses. It’s like throwing gas on a fire at that point in time. So that decline in population, you just lose demand for housing,” said Johnson, the Christie Kirkland Walker Chair of Real Estate at the University of Mississippi.</p>
  357. <p class="text | article-text">Johnson believes it will take more than interest rate cuts to stabilize the market. But given the sluggish pace of home sales over the past two years, any momentum is welcome.</p>

  392. <p>As the Federal Reserve revealed its latest rate decision Wednesday, a Trump administration senior counselor blasted the central bank for keeping the American Dream out of reach, as other experts reacted to the cut.</p>
  393. <p>&#8220;We&#8217;re a hundred basis points, at least, over where we should be,&#8221; Trump senior counselor for trade and manufacturing Peter Navarro said on &#8220;Mornings with Maria&#8221; Wednesday. &#8220;That&#8217;s disequilibrium. It hurts our trade balance. It hurts everybody who&#8217;s trying to get a mortgage. It&#8217;s frozen up the housing market.&#8221;</p>
  394. <p>&#8220;It should be 50 [basis points cut] today, and it should be another 50 at the next meeting. That&#8217;s where it should be,&#8221; he continued.</p>
  395. <p>The Fed announced <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/federal-reserve-interest-rate-decision-september-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">its first interest rate cut of the year</a> Wednesday afternoon despite signs of tariffs pushing inflation higher amid rising concerns about the labor market. The 25 basis-point cut lowered the benchmark federal funds target range to 4% to 4.25%.</p>
  396. <p><a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/real-estate-veteran-warns-hopelessness-housing-market-threatens-american-dream" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong><u>REAL ESTATE VETERAN WARNS ‘HOPELESSNESS’ IN HOUSING MARKET THREATENS THE AMERICAN DREAM</u></strong></a></p>
  397. <p>Markets had priced in a cut, with the CME FedWatch tool showing a 96% chance of a 25-basis-point cut and a 4% probability of a larger 50-basis-point cut.</p>

  404. <p>At the same time, the Trump administration is reportedly weighing a <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/economy/trump-admin-weighs-national-housing-emergency-treasurys-bessent-says" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declaration of a national housing emergency</a>, which has been fueled by high rates, red tape and rising construction costs.</p>
  405. <p>Other experts and politicians also called for a 50 basis point cut, like Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott, R-S.C., and Miami-based Douglas Elliman agent and managing director Joe Azar.</p>
  406. <p>&#8220;In the brokerage community, we would love to see a rate cut anywhere from a quarter to a half-point. Ideally, a half a point, and things have picked up over the last two weeks,&#8221; Azar told Fox News Digital. &#8220;I think you&#8217;ll see a jolt in the real estate market if we get a cut this afternoon.&#8221;</p>
  407. <p>&#8220;If you get this cut today… for an end user, depending on the profile and the type of loan they&#8217;re taking, that is drastic because, overall, it&#8217;s going to help the buyer to save more money and their spending power,&#8221; Azar continued.</p>

  417. <p>Buyers and sellers aren&#8217;t solely focused on rate cuts either, the Douglas Elliman broker argued: &#8220;A lot of my clients are also looking at the 10-year Treasury yield and also the five-year… what I think the Fed is trying to do is cut the short-term rates, which, what I will tell you, will affect the [adjustable-rate mortgage] loans.&#8221;</p>
  418. <p>&#8220;I talked to [Fed Board governor Stephen Miran] about two really important things,&#8221; Sen. Scott said <a href="https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/senate-banking-chairman-says-50-basis-point-rate-cut-possibility-backs-trumps-new-fed-governor" target="_blank" rel="noopener">on a call with Fox News Digital</a>. &#8220;The independence of the Fed, [and] sharing the president&#8217;s vision for what moves our economy forward.&#8221;</p>
  419. <p>&#8220;The president has done such a good job of moving our country forward,&#8221; Scott added. &#8220;What else does he need? One big thing &#8211; I think a lower interest rate.&#8221;</p>
