Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard talk about how tariffs, and ups and downs in the market, have caused a lot of volatility around the world. Our mortgage market is particularly effected by the bond market (our national debt), and is usually considered a safe investment, but rates have risen due to other countries selling off our bonds.

Today’s article from thestreet.com “Fannie Mae makes crucial update to 2025 mortgage rate forecast,” boasts that the fed made another update to its forecast, saying rates could be in the low 6s this year. Fannie’s projections are positive so don’t get caught unprepared. If you’re actively looking to purchase, regularly update your pre-approval and check on the status of rates. Listen in as we discuss this and more!
