The Home Front
A note from Danielle
g y y opportunities are there, but success belongs to those who understand how to navigate the details with clarity and intention.
What encourages me most is that our local market continues to show resilience. Even with shifts in interest rates and consumer behavior, people still want to plant roots, make smart investments, and create a lifestyle that fits the season of life they are in. Spring tends to remind us that movement creates momentum, and I believe this market will reward preparation, realistic expectations, and thoughtful decision-making.
If a move is on your mind this season, or if you simply want a clearer understanding of what the market means for you, I’m always happy to be a resource.
Cheers,
Danielle

US Fed Expected To Keep Rates
Steady As Iran War Impact Looms
By: Asad Hashim
Asad HASHIM
The US Federal Reserve opened its two-day meeting on Tuesday with policymakers expected to keep interest rates unchanged as they digest weak economic data and gauge the economic effects of the Iran war.
The central bank's rate-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) began its gathering at 10:30 am Eastern time (14:30 GMT), a central bank spokesperson said.
The meeting comes as the Fed battles stubbornly high inflation and weak demand in the US labor market, with its dual mandates potentially at odds with one another.
The US-Israel war on Iran, launched on February 28, is also expected to have major economic implications, with oil prices surging and supply chains disrupted
Rising oil prices are expected to have knock-on global inflationary effects, including in the United States, where price increases have remained above the Fed's long-term twopercent target for years.
US average gasoline prices have increased around 27 percent since the start of the war, according to the AAA motor club's gauge.
Analysts have also warned of the conflict causing supply chain disruptions and oil shortages that will drag down economic growth.
Central banks tend to ignore the inflation effects of short-term price shocks, but it is unclear how long the war in Iran will drag on
US households have been battered by years of higher-than-expected inflation after the Covid pandemic.
In January, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge came in at 2.8 percent, with core inflation rising by 3.1 percent, its highest level since March 2024.
The US labor market has also shown weakness in recent months, with unemployment ticking up in February due to weak labor demand.
Last week, there was more bad news, with new data showing the US economy grew at a significantly slower pace than initially estimated for the final months of 2025.
The new data and outlook for effects of the Iran war have seen traders change their expectations of the Fed.
Before the war, a rate-cut was expected as soon as the summer, with another possible later in the year.
On Tuesday, CME's FedWatch tool showed expectations of just one rate cut by the end of the year, likely coming after September
The Fed cut rates at three consecutive meetings late last year, but they remain above levels that US President Donald Trump has demanded.
Trump has repeatedly insulted and criticized Fed Chair Jerome Powell, and attempted to unseat another Fed Governor.
Last week, a Department of Justice investigation into Powell over cost overruns related to Fed building renovations ran into an obstacle when a federal judge quashed subpoenas in the case.

Here's what our client's have to say...
We had a fantastic experience working with Amanda. She was always available, consistently communicated with us, and supported us through every step of the process Her dedication and professionalism made the entire experience smooth and stress-free ”
-T.Aroriode, Pittsford
Amanda and Danielle were absolutely the best. They understood leaving a house that I lived in for 46 years and downsizing into a smaller house was an emotional change. But moving into an updated place softened the blow. I rate them an A+ for communication, availability and making the whole buy/sell process seamless.
-M. Kubarycz, Penfield
Amanda was an absolute joy to work with. Helped us every step of the way and was so accommodating. We were really impressed by how well she knew the market and how to get us into homes we loved.
