Today in Mortgages we discuss how housing plays into inflation. Yesterday Powell discussed “sticky shelter inflation” referring to high shelter costs, which make up about 30-40% of CPI. Shelter includes rent, insurance, hotels, and personal residences. Powell discussed whether cuts can come while housing inflation is still elevated and hinted at only one rate cut this year. Ultimately, we shouldn’t wait for rates to come down to get down to business. It took a while for these rates to come up, and it’s going to take a while for them to come back down.

Tune in to this episode to gain a deeper understanding of the current market dynamics and discover how you can better support your clients in achieving their homeownership dreams. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the industry, this discussion offers valuable insights to help you navigate today’s real estate landscape.
