One phone call reversed a 60-year-old World Cup rule in 48 hours. So why hasn't a phone call moved your mortgage rate? Manley and Anthony break down the real story behind the Fed, Kevin Warsh, and the inflation numbers that could change everything by December.
In this episode of The Mortgage 101 Podcast, Manley Haines and Anthony Valentino connect the dots between a controversial FIFA World Cup ruling reversal and what's really happening with the Federal Reserve and mortgage rates. They dig into why new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh isn't cutting rates despite pressure, how inflation is actually measured (core PCE vs. trimmed mean), why a measurement change — not a real economic shift — could send rates lower by year-end, and what it's actually costing buyers to sit on the sidelines waiting.
They also run the real numbers on a $400,000 home purchase to show exactly what waiting for rates to drop can cost you in lost equity and appreciation.
