Fed Up Rates Down! How the Real Estate Market Reacted to the Fed Pivot

Living In The Greater Seattle, WA Area with Aaron Morrow Podcast

Ever wonder how to navigate the fluctuating tides of Seattle's real estate market? Join us as we decode the mysteries alongside mortgage lender, Brian Laflame, shedding light on the recent actions of the Federal Reserve and their impact on interest rates. We dive into the rapid rise in home purchase applications and how potential homebuyers can turn this opportunity to their advantage. But don't just wait for rock bottom rates - we explain why that may not be your best strategy.
Strap in as we journey through the tumultuous seas of 2020 and 2021's real estate market, a battlefield where buyers were offering jaw-dropping incentives just to secure a home, and where new construction prices were being undercut by resale homes due to inventory shortages. We debunk common myths, like lower interest rates meaning more inventory - spoiler alert, it's the opposite! And we offer some sage advice on how to be savvy and strategic, turning this challenging market into a successful long-term investment.
But the real estate game is more than just the buyers and sellers - there's a whole world of supply and demand at play. We discuss the dwindling supply of homes over the past decade and a half, and how it's shaped the market. Brian Laflame takes us behind the scenes of a recent Fed meeting to decode its impact on interest rates. Plus, we break down the Doft plot’s significance and the Fed's acknowledgment of weakening job data. So whether you're a seasoned real estate pro, or just dipping your toes in the housing market, this episode is a treasure trove of information, tips, and insights. Tune in to make sure you're well-equipped to navigate this sea of opportunities.
