Breaking News: Federal Rate Cut Brings New Opportunities for Buyers & Sellers in Hawaii

For the first time in over four years, the Federal Reserve has lowered interest rates—with a half-point percentage rate cut. This move is expected to create favorable conditions for both buyers and sellers in Hawaiʻi’s real estate market.

For Buyers

Lower interest rates mean more affordable borrowing. This is a great time to secure better mortgage terms, allowing buyers to access more home or reduce monthly payments. If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to buy, now is the time to explore your options.

For Sellers

As borrowing becomes easier, buyer demand is likely to increase. More buyers in the market mean faster sales and possibly more competitive offers. Sellers should consider listing their properties while the market is active and interest is high.

What to Expect

This rate cut is part of a larger shift as inflation cools and the job market slows. With more cuts expected in the near future, the real estate market is poised for change. 

“This is the first rate cut since March 2020 and the first sustained drop in interest rates showing stability—a great step in the right direction. From a home buying standpoint, rates have been steadily decreasing over the last month in anticipation of this rate cut.” – Meena Na, Barrett Financial Group, LLC.
