Federal Reserve Rate Hike Slows Local Home Loans
Local builders and lenders react to the Federal Reserve Board rate increase to 4.5 percent on the discount rate and 3.5 percent on time deposits over 90 days. The move is predicted to raise borrowing costs for homes, schools and hospitals, tighten loan access, and pressure area lenders to tighten standards. Local officials note higher costs will ripple through financing, with FHA loans requiring larger down payments and potential cuts in available funds for local borrowers.
