Newark Daily Brief: Six New Homes as the Fed Raises Rates

September 16, 2026 · 3 min read

The Federal Reserve raised its target range by a quarter point to 3.75% to 4.00% at 11 AM PT today, its first increase since July 2023, as markets had widely expected. Mortgage News Daily had the 30 year at 7.19% and the 15 year at 6.81% this morning, before the announcement, just under Tuesday's 7.22%, the highest reading of the past year. The 10 year Treasury closed Tuesday at 5.00%, its first close at 5% or higher since 2007.

Six homes joined the list, three left

Newark's buyable list of houses and townhomes went from 66 to 69. Six homes arrived, five of them newly listed and one in the coming soon queue. Another home came back under a new listing at a lower price. Three homes left the list after 20 to 46 days on market.

Newly listed in Newark

Eleven homes carry the newly listed flag. All eleven are houses, and most of them are three bedroom homes, with a few four bedroom homes in the mix.

Ten homes sit in the coming soon queue, up from nine on Tuesday, and nine houses and townhomes are priced under a million, one fewer than Tuesday.

What we would do with this

If you are buying, eleven newly listed homes and a relisted home at a lower price mean real choice; if you are already in contract, check in with your lender this afternoon, since lenders can reprice after a Fed day. If you are selling, three homes left the list after 20 to 46 days, so price for a 7% market from day one.
