Federal Reserve rate cuts, potentially starting in September 2025, will cause the long end of the yield curve and, consequently, mortgage rates to increase, leading to less affordable housing.
"I think after we have a second round of rate cuts starting potentially in September, I think it's likely going to make the long end of the yield curve go up when they cut rates... It's going to cause the long end of the old curve to go up. When the long end of the old curve goes up, it's going to make mortgage rates go up."
