Real Estate News Brief: U.S. Credit Downgrade, Debt Crisis, and Bond Activity

from Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast · host Kathy Fettke/ Real Wealth

The U.S. national debt has surpassed $36 trillion, prompting Moody's to downgrade America's credit rating and setting off a sharp selloff in stocks and bonds. Treasury yields are spiking, with the 30-year hitting 5.13% and the 10-year above 4.6%, signaling a shift toward higher interest rates across the economy—from mortgages to consumer loans. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke covers the latest financial developments shaking markets and influencing investor strategy. Kathy breaks down how the fiscal outlook, rising interest costs, and a controversial new spending bill, The Big Beautiful Bill, could reshape real estate investing. Will economic growth projections offset deficit concerns? How will rising borrowing costs affect buying and selling opportunities in today's market? Tune in to hear how these macroeconomic shifts could impact your portfolio, and what savvy real estate investors should be doing right now to stay ahead.
