Fed Rate Cuts Have Begun

The Buzz is a regular summary of housing market news and data driving our decision-making at BlueBid.

Here's the Buzz for the week of September 17, 2025:

• The Fed cut interest rates for the first time this year and has signaled 2 more cuts in 2025. CNN says this will help the housing market as stubbornly high mortgage rates should start to subside.

• Mortgage demand jumped to the highest level in 3 years in advance of the Fed's rate cut announcement, according to CNBC. 

• Realtor.com outlines 7 major cities that are now buyer's markets. 

• Even as lower rates trim monthly payments, Redfin observes buyers remaining cautious. 

• Fannie Mae published the results of its latest national housing survey, and it finds consumer sentiment toward housing continues to decline.  

• Our internal data generally gels with headlines of late, as we see more sellers than buyers on BlueBid.

Have a great week.
