Mortgage Rates, Inflation DROP: An Economic "Sweet Spot" Forms

Episode #164

It finally happened. Inflation fell, mortgage rates dropped, GDP grew, and an unexpected jobs report was released. Is this the best news we’ve heard all year for the economy and the housing market? It sure sounds like it! We’re taking this episode to soak in all the good news from the past few weeks and point to an economic “sweet spot” that could make for PERFECT real estate investing conditions.

There’s been a LOT of good news to share recently, and we’re doing our best to give you the economic update you need! First, we’ll touch on updated core inflation numbers and why the stock market rallied and mortgage rates fell due to the announcement. Then, we naturally get into the Fed’s recent rate pause and why this might signify a strong housing market in 2024.

But that’s not all the good news. A new jobs report points to a shift in the right direction, one that not many people expected. Finally, we’ll give you a housing market update, from new home sales to days on market, homeowner equity, and all the signs pointing to a “sweet spot” for investing.
