Understanding the Impact:

Historically, a decrease in federal rates has been a precursor to increased activity in the real estate sector. Lower rates often encourage homebuying and refinancing activities, leading to a surge in demand for real estate services. This scenario presents a unique opportunity for title companies and realtors to enhance their services and client base.
