Accunet Mortgage & Realty Show 2-28-26

Mortgage rates finally did the thing everyone’s been waiting for, and naturally the internet immediately got it wrong. Brian and David Wickert are here to clean up the mess.

This week on the Accunet Mortgage & Realty Show, they tackle the age-old client question of “I saw a rate online!!!” — and walk through exactly why those online headlines are mortgage clickbait. Realistic? Not especially. Exciting? Sure.

On the refi front, there’s a case study in why combining two loans into one isn’t always the power move it sounds like, and a deep dive into the ARM-to-ARM shuffle — where one client is absolutely, definitely maybe possibly going to take a 30-year fixed — but next time.

Then there’s the purchase market, which remains competitive in a very Milwaukee way. One story: 50 showings, 22 offers, and a genuinely useful framework for helping buyers figure out the number they can lose on and still sleep at night — because there is one, and knowing it matters.

Smart, practical, occasionally ridiculous. Just like the mortgage market itself.
