Story summary
  • Homebuyers should act before the Federal Reserve's March meeting when rates may be discussed.
  • The Federal Reserve paused its rate-cut campaign in January after three cuts in late 2025.
  • Buyers should shop around for lenders to compare mortgage rates, since rates may adjust in anticipation of the meeting.
  • Locking in a rate now could protect buyers against potential increases after the meeting.
