Build Your Pipeline Now: 5 Mortgage Rate Scenarios Agents Should Prep For
After weeks of rumors, on Wednesday, September 16, 2024 the Federal Reserve cut rates by 50 basis points (0.50%) in an early attempt to revive a slightly cooling economy and slightly rising unemployment rates (by the standard U-3 rate, not the more inclusive U-6). While we haven't seen rates drop dramatically, they're forecasted to be cut again (maybe 2X) before the end of 2024.
All that said, there is no better time than right now for real estate agents to prepare for various market and rate scenarios that could impact their businesses. Another note, we're not economists, just fans of the economy and avid readers. We're sharing information, not financial or business advice. Talk to your financial or legal advisor if you have questions about the impact to your business.
Here are five potential outcomes to keep on your radar, plus some suggestions on how to prepare:

Difference Between a Home Appraisal and a Home Inspection?
If you’re planning to buy a home, a home appraisal is an important step in the process. It’s a professional evaluation of the market value of the home you’d like to buy. In most cases, an appraisal is ordered by the lender to confirm or verify the value of the home prior to lending a buyer money for the purchase. It’s also a different step in the process from a home inspection, which assesses the condition of the home before you finalize the transaction. Here’s the breakdown of each one and why they’re both important when buying a home.

Prior to the health crisis that swept the nation in 2020, most people had to wait until they retired to make a move to the beach, the golf course, or the senior living community they were looking to settle into for their later years in life.
