High Rates and Real Estate

Dated events

1. Feb. 4, 1994 · Fed begins aggressive rate hiking cycle
   The Federal Reserve started raising interest rates after keeping them very low. As borrowing costs climbed throughout 1994, real estate investment trusts and property companies saw their stock prices drop because investors could get better returns elsewhere.
2. March 16, 2022 · Fed raises rates 0.25% amid inflation surge
   The Federal Reserve began raising interest rates sharply to fight inflation that had reached 40-year highs. Real estate and property company stocks fell as borrowing became much more expensive and property values faced pressure from higher mortgage rates.
3. Oct. 19, 2023 · 10-year Treasury yield closes at 4.98%, its highest since July 2007
   Long-term government bond yields climbed to levels not seen in 16 years as the Federal Reserve kept interest rates high. This made financing for real estate projects very costly, causing real estate investment trusts and property stocks to decline in value.
