Think a recession is your signal to hit pause on buying a home? It might be your signal to sprint.

In this episode, Certified Mortgage Advisor and Raleigh Mortgage Broker Kevin Martini flips the script on every scary headline, panic-peddling post, and “maybe I should wait” whisper in your head.

You’ll hear:

  • Why 2025 is not 2008

  • What recessions usually do to mortgage rates (spoiler: it’s good)

  • Why "buy now, refinance later" is a strategy—not a gamble

  • How sellers are suddenly offering perks like closing cost credits and buydowns

This episode isn’t about fear—it’s about facts. About action. About finally taking control of your timeline instead of waiting for the stars (and interest rates) to align.

Because the dream of homeownership doesn’t live in “someday.”
It lives in one smart move.

Listen now, then share this with a friend who needs a nudge toward their next chapter.
