In this episode of Real Estate Today, Cindi and Bryan Richardson explore what it really means to go from “budget to boujee” in today’s housing market.

The conversation covers whether waiting for lower rates is a smart move, how timing the market can affect long-term affordability, and what today’s economic signals suggest for the months ahead.

In this episode of Real Estate Today, Cindi and Bryan Richardson break down the growing conversation around 50-year mortgages and what they could mean for today’s buyers. They explain how these extended-term loans may lower monthly payments — but significantly increase the total cost over time.

The team explores who these mortgages might actually benefit, and why they may not be the right solution for most buyers.

Mortgage expert Joe Womack joins the show to provide professional insight into how 50-year mortgages work, how interest and principal are affected, and what buyers should consider before choosing an ultra-long loan term.
