Mortgage Rates Just Fell Below 6%… But It Won’t Help Housing

Mortgage rates just dropped below 6 percent, and a lot of people think that means the housing market is about to surge but that may not be what actually happens.In this episode we break down why falling interest rates may not unlock the housing market the way many expect, and why the real opportunity could be forming somewhere else in real estate.Millions of homeowners are still sitting on 3 percent mortgages, which means they have very little incentive to sell. Even with rates dropping, housing inventory may remain tight. At the same time global uncertainty, falling equities, and changing investor psychology are starting to shift the landscape.When fear enters the market, sellers begin to rethink their positions and opportunities start to appear.We also discuss why commercial real estate and investment properties could benefit more from falling rates, especially as loans come up for refinancing and investors look to reset leverage.This conversation breaks down what the rate drop really means, how investor psychology plays into market cycles, and where smart money may be looking next.If you follow real estate, macroeconomics, or investing, this is a shift worth paying attention to.
