Fed Announces No Rate Change
The Federal Reserve held the benchmark interest rate at 3.5% and 3.75% in their meeting last week. While Fed decisions do not have a direct effect on long-term mortgage rates, borrowing costs for home loans often mirror fed fund rate trends. 
Financial experts don’t expect to see further benchmark rate cuts until June, after Jerome Powell completes his four-year term as Federal Reserve Chair.
Mortgage Outlook
Overall, mortgage interest rates are still at the lowest level we’ve seen in the last three years, with the national average on 30-year fixed-rate loans fluctuating in the low 6% range. 
The spring housing market is predicted to have more inventory available, leaning in favor of home buyers over home sellers.
