Powell’s Predictions

The Fed just did a whole lot of nothing—again. Rates are staying put for now, but Powell & Co. are eyeing two cuts before the year’s up. The catch? They’re waiting to see how things shake out with inflation, tariffs, and the economy before pulling the trigger.

For homebuyers, this means mortgage rates aren’t budging much heading into the spring season. If the Fed follows through on those cuts later in 2025, we could see a boost in affordability. But if the economy weakens, lower rates won’t mean much if buyers are spooked about job security.

Bottom line: The Fed is playing the waiting game, and for now, so are we.

Two Birds, One Network:  Schedule coffee with someone outside of other agents but still relevant—think mortgage brokers, inspectors, or even local business owners. Always be growing your network. More connections = more referrals.

🎉 Fun Fact of the Day: 

Billionaire Bunker Boom: Ultra-wealthy investors are now buying up old missile silos and turning them into high-end survival bunkers. Because when the world ends, real estate is still king.
