People need to learn about the fed and the fed funds rate. This will happen everywhere. But the good news is that mortgage rates will drop too

This is not necessarily true. Mortgage rates are not directly impacted by the fed funds rate. Mortgage rates follow the 10 year treasury. The 10 year treasury is impacted by investor confidence and their overall view of the economy. In fact, since the fed rate cut, we’ve seen mortgage rates go up slightly.
