Sudden global shifts are reshaping the housing market in unexpected ways. In this month’s update, Ruben Gonzalez and Gabi Brennesholtz break down how a sharp spike in oil and gas prices, driven by geopolitical conflict, is creating ripple effects across inflation, mortgage rates, and buyer behavior. They also unpack February’s surprisingly flat housing data, weakening job numbers, and what to expect from the Fed’s upcoming meeting. With uncertainty rising, this episode highlights why timing, strategy, and clear communication matter more than ever for today’s real estate professionals and their clients.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
- How rising oil and gas prices are fueling inflation and putting upward pressure on mortgage rates
- Why global events can quickly impact local housing markets even in the U.S.
- What February’s flat home sales, steady inventory, and stagnant prices signal about market momentum
- How weakening job growth and consumer confidence are influencing buyer activity
- Why the Fed is likely to hold rates steady (for now) and how new risks could shift forecasts
- How buyers and agents can navigate today’s uncertainty and take advantage of early-season opportunities
