This week on The Accunet Mortgage and Realty Show, Brian and David Wickert break down why mortgage rates have dipped to their lowest levels since last fall—and what might come next. They unpack the latest inflation data, bond market moves, and the strong possibility of a Fed rate cut in September. You’ll also hear a practical comparison of loan options, including whether it makes sense to pay points for a lower rate or keep more cash on hand.
Beyond rates, David shares real-world stories from clients navigating new construction timelines, move-up purchases, and appraisal waivers—highlighting the puzzle-like challenges of selling one home while buying another. The conversation also revisits the one-year anniversary of the National Association of Realtors’ commission settlement, with fresh numbers showing that despite all the changes, buyer agent commissions have hardly budged. Finally, Brian and David look at seller price-cut trends across Wisconsin markets, proving that Milwaukee and Madison sellers are holding strong compared to the national average.
Whether you’re refinancing, building new, or moving up, this episode is packed with insights on how to structure offers, protect yourself in contracts, and think strategically about mortgage choices.
