Show Notes

Are you basing your home-buying decisions on what you think you know about interest rates?

Most people are—and it’s costing them big time. In this episode of Moving Sucks, Seth breaks down the truth about interest rates and how they actually impact the real estate market. Spoiler alert: it’s not all about the Fed. From myths around mortgage rates to the real indicators that matter (like the 10-year treasury yield), this episode challenges the conventional wisdom keeping buyers and sellers stuck on the sidelines.

Seth also calls out the misinformation rampant in the industry and shares why affordability—not price—is the real game-changer. If you've been wondering whether now is the right time to buy, or if you’re just plain confused about rate talk, this is the straight-shooting reality check you need.
