2218: Mortgage Rates and the Housing Market: Understanding the Fed's Role and Market Trends with Josh Mettle Part 1

Jason expressed his frustration with the government's response to Hurricane Helene and discussed the conspiracy theory surrounding cloud seeding. He also analyzed the real estate market, highlighting that inflation-adjusted homeowner equity per household is at an all-time high and has been steadily increasing since 2017. Lastly, he invites you to join his Wednesday masterclass on Northwest Indiana and introduced an interview with Josh Mettle.

Jason then welcomes Josh Mettle, an expert in mortgages markets. According to Josh, the recent decline in mortgage purchase applications, despite rising home prices, is not indicative of a looming housing crash. This is because the current demographic trends favor homeownership, with millennials and Gen Z representing a large cohort of potential buyers. As mortgage rates continue to decrease, we can expect a resurgence in demand, leading to a surge in home purchases. Additionally, the increase in cash transactions suggests that many buyers have the financial means to purchase homes without relying on mortgages.
