This Week’s Podcast: What’s Behind Today’s Mortgage Rate Volatility?

Are you wondering why mortgage rates have felt like a roller coaster ride recently? On this week’s podcast, we’re diving into the factors driving these constant fluctuations and what they mean for buyers and sellers alike. Here’s what we’ll discuss:  

How the election impacts rates: Uncertainty around political outcomes and economic policies has led to rate adjustments.  

The Fed’s role in mortgage rates: The Federal Reserve doesn’t set mortgage rates directly, but its efforts to control inflation and adjust the Federal Funds Rate influence market trends.  

What’s next? Volatility is expected to continue as the market responds to changes in policy, international tensions, and economic shifts.  

We’ll share insights on how to navigate these ups and downs and make the best decisions in today’s housing market.
