2. What are you anticipating from the Federal Reserve for the duration of 2018 and into 2019 as far as rate increases are concerned? 

3. What impact will several increases to the Fed Funds Rate have on 30-year fixed rate mortgage rates going forward? 

4. What housing market conditions are you expecting in 2019? 

5. Given what we've talked about today, what suggestions would you recommend to sellers and buyers looking to make a move within the next 6-12 months?
