Mortgage rates fell for the fourth-straight week, hitting 3.79 percent for a 30-year, fixed-rate loan. A week ago, rates averaged 3.81 percent, according to Freddie Mac<\/a>. We haven\u2019t seen 4 percent or higher since, well, 2015. <\/span>
\nOur run of low rates has been incredible, especially when you look at the big picture.<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s zoom in on that chart. Everyone was worried last year when the Fed was preparing to raise interest rates on <\/span>overnight loans<\/span><\/a> made to banks. The central bank doesn\u2019t set mortgage rates, but its actions typically have a ripple effect.<\/span>
\nChair Janet Yellen and her team finally <\/span>pulled the trigger<\/span><\/a> Dec. 16, raising short-term rates for the first time since 2006. Some people (<\/span>not us<\/span><\/a>) said the move might hurt homebuyers and the housing market. They were wrong. Take a look.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday, Yellen & Co. met again. They <\/span>voted unanimously<\/span><\/a> not to raise rates and expressed worry about low oil prices, China\u2019s slowdown and uneasy global financial markets. In the big economic picture, housing has been a bright spot.<\/span>
\nMortgages eventually will get more expensive, which might tap the brakes on home prices in a good way. We expect <\/span>home prices to rise<\/span><\/a> between 3.5 percent and 4.5 percent, down from almost 6 percent in 2015.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
