In this episode, we break down President Trump’s choice of Kevin Warsh as the next chair of the Federal Reserve and why Wall Street — and Main Street — are paying close attention. You’ll learn who Warsh is, how his experience during the 2008 financial crisis shaped his skepticism of ultra‑easy money, and why his views on inflation, quantitative easing, and Fed “mission creep” mark a sharp shift from Jerome Powell’s consensus style. We dig into whether Warsh can actually deliver the rate cuts the White House wants, how much power the Fed chair really has over the rest of the committee, and what his confirmation fight in the Senate could look like. Most importantly, we translate all of this into what it could mean for interest rates, asset prices, housing, and the broader economy in the years ahead.

Welcome to the Moles Group Podcast.  This week we dive into the HomeServices of America National Housing Outlook which is a comprehensive analysis of the key factors impacting residential real estate and explains what’s next for buyers, sellers, and industry professionals.

It includes insights into consumer behavior, market drivers, and the trends impacting mortgage rates, inventory, pricing, and home sales, highlighting that 2026 will be a year where we see increased stability in the housing market.
