Brace for IMPACT: Mortgage Predictions for 2026 | Ep. 39
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the chaotic start to 2026, fear of global conflict, unrest, and economic uncertainty is freezing homebuyers—70% are delaying purchases. But is the world falling apart... or repositioning for opportunity?
We break down how geopolitical events (Venezuela, Greenland, Iran), the President's $200 billion mortgage-backed securities injection, and tightening spreads are already pushing rates lower (currently ~6.06% and trending down).
Discover why waiting is expensive (lost equity, rent waste, missed compression), rate forecasts for 2026 (possible 4-handle?), and the Braveheart mindset: prepare, get fully approved, know your break-even, and act while others hesitate.
