The Federal Reserve recently held interest rates steady, but the pressure is mounting. Two key Fed governors are signaling that a rate cut could happen as early as July. In this video, we break down the latest Fed meeting, the implications of the updated dot plot, and what Chair Jerome Powell's "wait and see" stance means for the economy.

We also dive into how these developments could affect mortgage rates, real estate trends, buyer competition, and housing inventory—especially in markets like Greater Philadelphia. If you're a buyer waiting for lower rates, this summer might be your window of opportunity before the market heats up again.

✅ Understand the real impact of a potential rate cut

We just completed 57 CRM audits across our real estate organization — and the results were eye-opening.

Here, we break down the 4 most common and costly mistakes agents are making with their CRMs in 2024, and how these are directly impacting appointments, conversion rates, and closed deals.

You'll learn:

1. Why most lead stages are wrong — and how that destroys your follow-up game.

2. How bad or missing property drips send your clients straight to Zillow.

3. The truth about intentional follow-up (and why forgetting tasks is killing your pipeline).

4. Why low call volume = low income — and what high performers are doing differently.

If you're in real estate and using a CRM, this will help you clean it up, level up your communication, and start closing more deals.

Down payments are shrinking — and that's a big deal for homebuyers in 2025. 📊 According to a new Redfin report, the median down payment just dropped for the first time since 2023, and FHA and VA loan usage is rising. What does this mean for affordability, buyer power, and your options in today’s market?

In this video, we break down:

* Why the average down payment fell to just over $62K


* The rise in FHA and VA loan approvals


* How buyers are getting creative with smaller down payments


* Why this shift is a good sign for buyers (and even sellers)


* Local market updates (including the Greater Philadelphia area)
