We’re going live right after today’s Federal Reserve meeting to break down what the Fed decided and what it actually means for Veterans. We’ll translate the FOMC statement and “dot plot” into plain-English takeaways for VA mortgage rates, refinancing (IRRRL), and timing a home purchase this fall.
What we’ll cover
The Fed’s move today + what the new projections signal for the rest of 2025
Why VA mortgage rates react to Treasuries/MBS (not 1:1 with Fed funds) — and what that means for pricing, points, and lock strategy
Refi game plan: When a VA IRRRL (Streamline) makes sense, breakeven math, funding-fee exemptions, and common pitfalls
Buying now: Lock vs. float after the announcement, 2-1 buydowns, seller credits, appraisal + eligibility gotchas (condos, ADUs, PCS timelines)
How quickly lenders reprice after the Fed (what to watch over the next 24–72 hours)
Live Q&A: bring your scenario (credit, DTI, disability income, residual income, condo approvals)
Why this matters
Mortgage rates don’t move in lockstep with the Fed funds rate, but the Fed’s guidance drives Treasury yields and MBS spreads that set real-world VA pricing. We’ll show how to read today’s signals, assess your breakeven, and decide whether to refi or move forward on a purchase.
