Interest Rates Dip in Utah: What First-Time Buyers Need to Know Now

Big news for first-time homebuyers in Utah: The Federal Reserve made a key decision at their October 28–29, 2025 meeting, lowering the federal funds rate. This move has already started to ripple through the mortgage market, leading to lower interest rates for buyers across the state—including those right here in Utah County and Salt Lake County.

What Does the Fed’s Rate Cut Mean for You?

When the Fed cuts rates, it often means mortgage lenders follow suit, making home loans more affordable. For first-time buyers, even a small dip in rates can translate into lower monthly payments and improved buying power. If you’ve been waiting for the right time to jump into the market, this recent rate cut could be your signal to act.
