The Worst Is Behind Us: Oil, Rates & the Loans Your Buyers Don't Know About

Oil spiked past $119 a barrel this spring. Today it's back near $70, and that round trip changes the whole rate conversation. We're live with Austin Clarence of NEXA Mortgage to break down what actually happened, why home values rose while rates stayed elevated, and the three questions every agent should be asking at their next open house. What we cover: Why the Strait of Hormuz shock ran straight through to your buyer's mortgage payment The Fed connection, and what realtors should (and shouldn't) worry about Case-Shiller: values up close to 1% year over year even through the worst of it Physician loans, VA loans, and the self-employed program only ONE lender out of 300+ will do If you hold open houses, this one pays for itself. Drop your questions in the chat and we'll get to them live. Reach Austin: [email protected] | @Austin.Mortgage on IG, TikTok, YouTube
