Caleb and Riley are joined by Gary Saran to discuss what factors are most important to consider when purchasing or selling real estate. Monthly mortgage payments required to buy the median existing U.S. home has increased more than 75% since the beginning of the pandemic. How much should interest rates and housing markets play into your decisions? That’s what we discuss today with Gary Saran of Calgary, Alberta, a licensed real estate advisor with the eXp Realty Family where he helps buyers, sellers and investors find and buy the right home.

Memorable Quotes:
- “No amount of cheese in something will replace the satisfaction of cheese on top of something”
- “If house prices drop by 5% and in that same time mortgage rates increase by 0.5% (for example, from 7% to 7.5%), your mortgage payment on a 30-year fixed rate loan would remain unchanged.”
