In today’s episode of the Knowledge Brokers Podcast, Byron Lazine and Tom Toole start with the minutes from the latest FOMC meeting and what they see as the most likely move by the Federal Reserve at their March meeting.
From there, they discussed housing market data, with rising mortgage rates, falling inventory, and what the data shows to be the best quarter of 2023 for sellers vs. the best quarter for home buyers.
They also expanded on why it’s important to always present housing market data with honesty and clarity to build trust and help your clients make the best decisions for them.
Next up was Redfin’s latest report on the housing market’s loss of $2.3 trillion in home values, followed by Fannie Mae’s revised forecast for 2023.
The conversation wrapped up with the best business plan for real estate agents in 2023, along with the best way to make sure you’ll have the time and energy to carry it out.
