Here's why low mortgage rates need to end

HousingWire Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami joins the HousingWire Daily podcast to talk about why low mortgage rates need to end. During the interview, HW+ Managing Editor Brena Nath interviews Mohtashami on his most recent article, "We need higher mortgage rates to cool the housing market." In his article, Mohtashami states, "For 2021, we need to root for a repeat of what happened in 2013-2014 and 2018-2019. Home prices have caught up to per capita income, just like what we saw in 2002. However, mortgage rates are lower today, and demographics better. I feared this could be the case and it’s part of why I wrote the Chaos Theory for HousingWire back on Feb 3, 2020. I wrote that if COVID-19 hit us, stocks, the economy, and bond yields would fall, and this means mortgage rates would go down with it."

Dava Davin on how to start the home-buying process

Today’s HousingWire Daily features a crossover episode from HousingWire’s Girlfunds. In this episode, Portside Real Estate Group Founder and HousingWire 2020 Woman of Influence, Dava Davin discusses everything from her best financial tip to her No. 1 piece of advice to people starting the home-buying process. Here is a small preview of today’s interview with Dava Davin. The transcript below has been lightly edited for length and clarity: Brena Nath: We are obviously passionate about home buying and purchasing tips and insight. As someone who is regularly helping people achieve their dream of homeownership, I have a basic entry-level question, how do you recommend people start the home buying process and where do you think they often go wrong when it comes to buying a home? Dava Davin: Going back to our first question about youth, I think the younger, the better when thinking about homeownership. It’s important to start having good behaviors when you are young. Simple things like paying your bills on time, budgeting, saving for that down-payment and speaking with a trusted loan officer can help folks start the homebuying process a year or two in advance. They're not bothering anyone; a loan officer will be happy to have their business and help set them up. I think the typical scenario for homeownership is that you are in a long-term relationship, and then maybe you want to solidify that relationship or have a family. So, you buy a house but it doesn't have to be in that order. I think that sort of thinking is where people go wrong. They think, ‘oh, this is how I'm supposed to do it, I'm supposed to graduate from college, get the job and do it in this way.' You don't necessarily have to.

What the signed stimulus bill means for housing

In today’s episode, Digital Producer Alcynna Lloyd joins HousingWire Editor in Chief Sarah Wheeler to discuss the hottest topics coming across HousingWire’s news desk. During the episode, Lloyd and Wheeler review the recent news that President Donald Trump signed the second COVID-19 stimulus bill and how it could impact homeowners. The pair also highlight what some economists say we should expect for the housing market in 2021 and discuss the housing inventory shortage and whether it will impact potential homebuyers. For more background on what is discussed, here is a preview of today’s interview, lightly edited for length: HousingWire: Sarah, what stories really caught your eyes last week? Sarah Wheeler: The stimulus bill was really the talk of all last week and then, of course, this weekend, with Trump finally signing the $900 billion stimulus bill. We were focused on both the bill and the implications for our industry as we knew it had quite a bit of an impact for renters and homeowners. Notably, we learned that many people who may have been in a good financial position prior to the pandemic could have saved the money they got from the last stimulus bill, which is really interesting. They didn’t travel, and they weren’t able to do many things they normally do, so they might be saving the funds. Currently, we’re looking at the $600 one-time stimulus checks and the unemployment benefits that are going through. That being said, the House is also voting today on increasing those checks to $2,000. However, it’s unclear if the Republican-led Senate will even vote on the amount or if it will pass.
