Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast

Could rising unemployment from government job cuts lead to lower mortgage rates this year? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, host Kathy Fettke dives into a new analysis from Logan Mohtashami at HousingWire that explores this critical question.

Kathy breaks down expert insights on where mortgage rates and the 10-year yield could be headed as labor market trends shift. She also examines whether tighter mortgage spreads could push rates closer to 6%, how changes in employment impact the Federal Reserve’s policies, and what’s happening with housing inventory, purchase applications, and home prices.

Will mortgage rates drop as jobless claims rise, or will other economic forces keep them elevated? Tune in for expert analysis and market predictions.
