Welcome back, Dreammakers, to Today in Mortgages! In this episode, hosts Michael and Richard discuss that the 2025 housing sales forecast is down for the year, and what that means.Today's article from Real Estate News says "NAR economist downgrades sales forecast, eyes rebound in 2026." As the article says, "It's been a real bummer," but we have a different take on this. Growth estimations are down to 3% from the original 9%, and as we said these forecasts are just their best guesses, because ultimately buyers buy when they are ready. Our jobs is to be focused on getting our buyers ready by getting them qualified, and finding the best product. Then when they find the right property it's go time. With exception to the rate, it is a great time to be a buyer. Just make sure they are ready, willing and able. Now is the time to get out there and plant some seeds for your future business. Listen in as we discuss this and more.______ Grow Your Business: https://join.nflp.com/______Today in mortgages is produced by Network Funding, LP, which is an equal housing lender, NMLS# 2297. The content of this program is meant to be a commentary on mortgage and real estate news and any discussion of rates and or products should not be taken as individual mortgage or home buying advice or pricing estimates, and any commentary on this show is should not be considered a promise to make a loan.
