📉 MARKET UPDATE + STRATEGY
Since March 2nd, rates have moved over 200 BPS
➡️ That’s roughly a 0.65%–0.75% increase in rates in just this month
Here is a short video (under 8 min) that breaks this down technically—watch it if you can, you’ll get a lot out of it 🎯
🧠 WHAT’S REALLY DRIVING THIS
👉 Oil dictates inflation
👉 When oil rises → global inflation rises
👉 Cost of everything goes up
And the worst 9-letter word in mortgages…
👉 INFLATION
That is the #1 driver of interest rates—always has been.
⚠️ WHAT THIS MEANS RIGHT NOW
This WILL put pressure on buyers.
You need to educate—not scare—your clients.
This is a season, not forever.
➡️ This too shall pass.
🏡 HOW TO POSITION THIS WITH CLIENTS
👉 BUYERS:
This is where opportunity is created 💰
Fear pulls buyers out of the market →
➡️ Less competition
➡️ More negotiating power
➡️ Ability to make aggressive offers
This could be a VERY opportunistic window to secure a deal.
👉 SELLERS:
Stay patient ⏳
Do NOT get emotional or fearful.
This is temporary.
When the market shifts back → it will be GAME ON again 🔥
🔮 WHAT’S COMING
📅 May 15th → New Fed Chair
📉 Rates begin to ease
🌍 We likely move out of current global conflict pressures
🛢️ Oil prices come down → inflation cools
➡️ This is a cycle, not a permanent environment.
💡 MASSIVE VALUE ADD FOR YOUR CLIENTS
If you send us a client for a purchase…
👉 We will refinance them later for FREE 💥
No cost. No hesitation.
This removes the fear of “locking in at the wrong time.”
🎯 BOTTOM LINE
Educate your buyers → don’t let them sit on the sidelines.
Position this as opportunity, not risk.
Less competition + future refinance =
➡️ Win now, adjust later
