The Fed Downplays Volatility As Home Sales Beat Expectations | Bigger Pockets Podcast

In today’s episode, we break down the latest existing-home sales report from the National Association of REALTORS® and what it tells us about the direction of the housing market heading into spring. We’ll cover key stats on sales, prices, inventory, and first-time buyers—plus where regional growth is heating up.

Then, we pivot to the Federal Reserve’s latest decision to hold interest rates steady. Despite signs of economic softening and tariff-related inflation risks, Chair Jerome Powell struck a calm tone. We’ll explore what this means for mortgage rates, housing affordability, and where the market might go next.
