🎙️ The Mortgage 101 Podcast: Ep. 010 – “Red Light, Green Light: Decoding the Housing Market’s Mixed Signals” 

Are you feeling stuck in neutral while trying to make sense of the 2025 housing market? Today, Anthony & Manley are breaking down what’s really going on—using a little childhood nostalgia to explain why some signals are flashing green, others are red, and most are stuck on yellow. 

➡️ This episode dives deep into: 

  • Why “higher for longer” interest rates may not be the villain
  • How single-family home sales are rising despite warning signs
  • Why inventory is up, but it’s still not a buyer’s paradise
  • How international players might bring down your mortgage rate
  • What temporary rate buy-downs are (and why they’re a game changer)
  • Why smart sellers are pricing under the curve
  • The difference between economic headlines and what buyers/sellers should actually be doing


🎯 And don’t miss our fan-favorite segment: Rapid Fire Buzzwords with Kevin, where we translate confusing mortgage lingo into plain English.

🛠️ We define & explain:
• Trade Lines in Dispute
• Seller Concessions
• Rate Buy-Downs
• Appraisal Gaps
• Contract Contingencies
• Closing Costs
• Initial Approvals
• ARM Loans

💡 Whether you’re buying your first home, trying to time a refinance, or just looking to get smart in a volatile market—this episode gives you the clarity you’ve been looking for.
