Fed kept rates on hold, but not everyone agreed. As expected, the Federal Reserve held its policy rate range steady at 4.25–4.50%. But unusually for the consensus-loving Fed, two voters (Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman) dissented. They wanted a 25 basis point (0.25% = one quarter of a percentage point) cut instead.

Most of the FOMC (Federal Open Markets Committee) votes are unanimous. It’s rare for even a single member to publicly dissent. Why? Because the Fed chairman wants to create the appearance of 100% agreement with the decision — even if there is a lot of debate going on behind the scenes. That’s why having two voters dissent is shocking, at least by Fed standards.

What's the difference between a DEED and the TITLE when purchasing a home?

A DEED is a physical, legal document.

It is used to transfer ownership of real property from one party to another.

It contains details like:
Names of the buyer and seller
Legal description of the property
Signatures
Notarization

When a property is sold, the deed is recorded with the local government (usually the county).

👉 Think of the DEED as the receipt or proof of the transaction.

The TITLE refers to the legal concept of ownership rights to a property.

It represents who legally owns the property and who has the right to use or transfer it.

You don't hold a piece of paper called a “title” like you do a deed — it’s more of a legal status.

Title can include:
Ownership interest
Rights of possession
Liens or encumbrances on the property

👉 Think of the TITLE as the bundle of rights that come with property ownership.

In a nutshell:
The DEED is the document that conveys the title (ownership rights) from one person to another.

The TITLE is the actual ownership of the property.

Make Smart Renovations. Investing in things like an updated kitchen or bathroom will help your home sell for more. On average, homeowners can recoup around 70% of these expenses.
