## Resource

What happens to mortgage rates if the Iran conflict ends? In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down new analysis from Logan Mohtashami at HousingWire on the relationship between geopolitical events, inflation, bond yields, and mortgage rates. While easing tensions in the Middle East have helped calm oil markets, mortgage rates remain elevated as inflation stays stubbornly high and Federal Reserve officials take a more hawkish stance. Kathy explains why mortgage spreads have helped prevent rates from moving even higher, what Logan's mortgage rate forecast means for the housing market, and why real estate investors should pay close attention to inflation and Treasury yields. You'll also hear why housing demand has remained resilient despite higher borrowing costs and what could be needed for mortgage rates to move lower. If you're watching the housing market, mortgage rates, or the Federal Reserve's next move, this is an update you won't want to miss.
