On this week's episode, Avery is joined by Chuck Kramer to break down what it could mean if the Fed is truly winding down quantitative tightening and moving toward quantitative easing. They explain (in plain English) how increasing bank reserves and buying Treasuries/mortgage-backed securities can loosen credit conditions and potentially help bring borrowing costs down—without assuming we’ll ever see 3% mortgages again. Avery and Chuck also talk about why a “price crash” may already be reflected in low transaction volume since 2022, why vacation markets can feel the pain more than primary-home markets, and how a weaker dollar/stimulus chatter could impact discretionary travel demand going into 2026.
