About this listen

In this week’s episode of the Mortgage Heroes Weekly Podcast, Andy and Brian break down two major trends shaking up the housing market: lower mortgage rates and a surprising surge in existing home sales to a seven-month high.

We cover what the recent Fed rate decisions actually mean for mortgage rates (spoiler: it’s not as instant as some think!), how layoffs and government shutdowns may push rates even lower, and why the current inventory spike is creating new opportunity for first-time buyers and move-up homeowners alike.

Whether you’re eyeing a winter deal, planning a move in 2026, or just want to know if this is your moment to strike—the data is showing a potential sweet spot forming. 📊

We also tackle affordability, adjustable-rate strategies, and how anticipation and preparation are the name of the game in today’s market.

🎯 Key Topics:

  • What Fed rate cuts really mean for homebuyers
  • Why mortgage rates may stay suppressed into 2026
  • Inventory returns to pre-COVID highs
  • First-time homebuyers re-emerging
  • Buyer psychology and strategy in a shifting market
  • “Is it a good time to buy?”—the honest answer
