Hometap Perspective on the Fed's Endgame, Housing Impacts in Key Media

July 27, 2023


AB

This week the Federal Reserve, as expected, once again raised interest rates, breaching their highest level in over two decades. Hometap's view was included by key journalists covering the decision, with particular respect to its impact on housing and homeowners.

Dan Burnett, our Head of Investor Product, shared in HousingWire and American Banker that an expected soft pause for the rest of 2023 will narrow spreads between treasuries and mortgage rates, and bring new hope for sustainable equilibrium. Until then, structural tensions will remain in the short term, as limited supply and growing demand remains mismatched.

Great analysis and we encourage a full read (subscriptions required for each)!

A Hometap HEI has a ten (10) year term, during which no monthly or recurring payments are required. Hometap records a lien against the property, in the form of a mortgage or deed of trust, to secure its interest. You may choose to settle the Investment at any time during the term without incurring any penalties by exercising an Owner Repurchase. If you do not settle the HEI by the expiration of the term, your Hometap HEI provider may exercise its right to acquire a percent ownership interest in the property and then work with you to sell the property. You may contact either Hometap entity at hello@hometap.com (for prospective or current applicants) or homeowners@hometap.com (for homeowners with an active HEI) for more information. Eligibility criteria are subject to change. For current criteria, please contact your Hometap HEI provider at (855) 223-3144 or visit www.hometap.com/faqs
