On April 29, the Federal Reserve is making a decision that could directly impact your home value—and most people aren’t paying attention.

In this episode, we break down what’s really happening behind the headlines and why the Fed is almost certain to hold interest rates in 2026. From geopolitical tension and oil shocks to leadership changes inside the Federal Reserve, this is the full picture of what’s driving uncertainty in today’s housing market.

But here’s the part most people miss…

This isn’t just about rates. It’s about how fear, volatility, and timing are quietly reshaping the Washington housing market—creating hesitation for some and opportunity for others.

We walk through:

• Why mortgage rates aren’t controlled the way most people think
• How global events are impacting your monthly payment
• What the Fed’s next move could signal for the rest of the year
• Real data from Snohomish and King County (what’s actually happening vs. what’s reported)
• Where buyers, sellers, and investors should be focusing right now

If you own a home, are thinking about buying, or are waiting for the “right time,” this conversation matters.

While most people are sitting on the sidelines, a small group is positioning itself to win.
