Fed to Raise Rates 2 More Times in 2017

based on the massive funds flows into bond funds since the election, i’ll say no at this juncture. this is all dependent on the fed not having been too lax about inflation and keeping rates so low for so long. Whomever is piling money into bonds is taking the pressure off the fed to be able to slowly run off its QE portfolio of longer dated treasuries and MBS. This should keep the yield curve from being too steep (i.e. mortgage rates that seriously affect buyer purchasing power).

Fed to Raise Rates 2 More Times in 2017. Do you think this will have any effect on the Brooklyn and greater NYC real estate market?

Fed raises only the short end of the yield curve so near-term will only modestly impact mortgage rates, but over time money multiplier effect will decline and so will hard assets like real estate. But if there is one place to be its NYC.

Just a hunch, but I wonder whether the OP has some units to sell and is less interested in opinions expressed here and more interesting in raising the spectre of future rate hikes to nudge potential buyers to take the plunge now.

There are bigger issues to worry about in the NYC Real Estate market than a slow trickle interest adjustment on mortgage rates.
