For the first time in more than three years, the Federal Open Market Committee raised interest rates, following its two-day September meeting on Wednesday.
In a unanimous vote, the FOMC raised the target range for the federal funds rate by 25 basis points to 3.75% to 4%.
"This summer's inflation readings do not tell me that underlying trends have meaningfully improved," Kevin Warsh, chair of the Federal Reserve, said in a press conference following the announcement.
Despite persistent concern about inflation and the rate hike, multifamily executives thought the near-term impact on the market would be limited, as they kept their focus on Treasury rates.
