Mortgage rates were expected to fall… but instead, they spiked.

In this episode, we break down what’s really happening behind the scenes — and why this market could actually create opportunity for buyers who know how to play it right.

We dig into:

Why mortgage rates are rising (even during global conflict)
How oil prices are impacting inflation — and your payment
What this means for buyers, sellers, and refinances
The mistake most people make trying to “time the market”
Best case vs worst case scenarios moving forward

The reality? Most people are reacting emotionally right now — but the ones who stay strategic are the ones who win long term.

If you’re thinking about buying, refinancing, or just trying to understand what’s going on… this episode will give you clarity.
