- 2:58Speaker 1: that a.
- 2:58Speaker 3: Little bit later.
- 2:59Speaker 1: Yeah, buddy, But I figured, you know, since we've got
- 3:04Speaker 1: since we've got these open houses and new listings, I
- 3:06Speaker 1: figured what we do is we go ahead and play
- 3:08Speaker 1: our game. Yeah, buddy, and we'll get Gabby in the mix,
- 3:12Speaker 1: too cool. And so.
- 3:16Speaker 2: Please explain the rules of the game.
- 3:17Speaker 3: The rules of the game. All right, Gus, He's gonna
- 3:19Speaker 3: go through some of the new listings open houses, they have.
- 3:22Speaker 3: He's gonna give us some cool features, different things about
- 3:24Speaker 3: the property that everybody might be interested in. But the end,
- 3:26Speaker 3: he's gonna give me what I need, and that is
- 3:28Speaker 3: the list price of the home, the potential purchase price.
- 3:31Speaker 3: I'll then give a down payment that someone might make
- 3:33Speaker 3: on that home, and then Gusty, John and Gabby will
- 3:36Speaker 3: guess the thirty year fixed principal and interest only monthly payment.
- 3:41Speaker 3: So I'll give you a down payment and then y'all
- 3:44Speaker 3: will guess the thirty year fixed monthly payment just principal interest,
- 3:48Speaker 3: and then that's that's all. It's simple, It's real simple.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Yeah, Gabby, good news. You're gonna go third, so you
- 3:53Speaker 1: can kind of get a feel for the range. Sometimes
- 3:56Speaker 1: the ranges are very wide. You just never know, very
- 3:59Speaker 1: very wide. When I and look, look, hey John, has
- 4:03Speaker 1: you know been doing this for six years with me
- 4:05Speaker 1: and I've won three times. I mean you've won at
- 4:10Speaker 1: least three times this year.
- 4:11Speaker 3: I think you had a hot run in January or
- 4:13Speaker 3: February somewhere in there.
- 4:14Speaker 5: A couple those are the day's guess we was out.
- 4:17Speaker 5: I played against myself. It does have a lot of
- 4:20Speaker 5: wins here.
- 4:21Speaker 1: Yeah, look, I think that is like he keeps his
- 4:25Speaker 1: notes over there.
- 4:26Speaker 3: If you give me one from last week and I
- 4:29Speaker 3: don't remember what down payment I gave it, you know,

- 4:34Speaker 4: what you ago.
- 4:35Speaker 3: If there's any a property that's repeated, sometimes I have
- 4:37Speaker 3: to be like, what did I do for down payment

- 16:27Speaker 1: and expertise that immediately put me at ease. She doesn't
- 16:30Speaker 1: just sell homes, she guides people, and she does it
- 16:32Speaker 1: with genuine care. Dayleen is the kind of realter who
- 16:35Speaker 1: goes above and beyond in ways you don't even realize
- 16:37Speaker 1: you needed. She's incredibly responsive, deeply knowledgeable about the Birmingham market,
- 16:42Speaker 1: and has an uncanny ability to anticipate questions before you

- 16:50Speaker 1: and tailored.

- 16:52Speaker 1: If you're looking for a realter who is trustworthy, hard
- 16:55Speaker 1: working and truly exceptional, Dayleen is the one. She made
- 16:59Speaker 1: what could have been a stressful process feel exciting, empowering
- 17:03Speaker 1: and even fun. I'm beyond grateful for her in the
- 17:05Speaker 1: Gusty Gilis Group, and I recommend them with absolute confidence.

- 18:40Speaker 3: still hinged kind of what oil is doing. Up and down, up, down,
- 18:43Speaker 3: back and forth. Uh. We did get a little bit
- 18:45Speaker 3: good news this past week.

- 18:49Speaker 2: and forth.
- 18:50Speaker 4: That's like you know, pop down, knock down, left, right.
- 18:54Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know any of those.
- 18:58Speaker 4: Which one is. That's the Countra code.
- 19:00Speaker 2: I've been hi, by the way, I've been playing Contra lately,
- 19:02Speaker 2: have you.
- 19:03Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been a long long time.
- 19:05Speaker 2: I got a story about that one day.
- 19:06Speaker 3: Okay, So so anyways, but we did it. So we've
- 19:10Speaker 3: had the buy back program by buying bond program that
- 19:14Speaker 3: that we used back in the late twenty tens and
- 19:17Speaker 3: stuff late two thousand tens, and they've kind of kept
- 19:21Speaker 3: it going, Biden kept it going. Where the where the
- 19:23Speaker 3: where the where our government can still buy treasuries bonds
- 19:27Speaker 3: that kind of stuff. Okay, so a lot of times.
- 19:29Speaker 3: So when we had the big mortgage crisis back in
- 19:32Speaker 3: the two thousands, they had they started buying billions and
- 19:34Speaker 3: billions and billions of mortgage backed securities to help the
- 19:37Speaker 3: market and keep rates down. Well, you know, so the
- 19:40Speaker 3: more they can buy us that helps the market. So
- 19:42Speaker 3: they did announce this week they're going to continue the
- 19:44Speaker 3: program which they have been and even and maybe even
- 19:47Speaker 3: increase it for need purposes where they can actually go
- 19:50Speaker 3: higher if they wanted to.
- 19:52Speaker 2: Significantly reduced it over the last couple of years.
- 19:54Speaker 3: Over the last decade, it's been significantly reduced. So you know,
- 19:58Speaker 3: but what we didn't want to see was like what
- 20:02Speaker 3: we hear is like the quantitative easing of it, where
- 20:04Speaker 3: we're phasing it out like it's coming. When it falls
- 20:07Speaker 3: off the books, we're not replacing it, so like so right,
- 20:10Speaker 3: you know, so if we're part of it, it's been
- 20:11Speaker 3: almost just like a replacement of what falls off, and
- 20:14Speaker 3: so we need them to have some more growth back
- 20:16Speaker 3: in that. So so we're hoping to maybe start of
- 20:18Speaker 3: seeing that over the next you know, who knows when
- 20:20Speaker 3: that'll be. But markets do only respond to that kind
- 20:23Speaker 3: of tone. With all that being said, the mortgage, the
- 20:27Speaker 3: thirty year fixed mortgage rate didn't really get much benefit
- 20:30Speaker 3: from that this week. And this is where it gets
- 20:34Speaker 3: where I go back to, like this, now we're talking
- 20:36Speaker 3: back out of both sides of our mouth, right, so
- 20:38Speaker 3: we talk about this all the time. But the longer
- 20:43Speaker 3: term treasuries in bonds, so to say, ten plus years,
- 20:45Speaker 3: ten to thirty, those are the ones that kind of
- 20:48Speaker 3: drive a lot of times the mortgage rates. But in
- 20:51Speaker 3: this situation, because the average life of a thirty year
- 20:53Speaker 3: fixed loan is five just you know, six seven years normally,
- 20:57Speaker 3: and it really so most people that move or refinance
- 21:01Speaker 3: do something different. So the average life of a thirty
- 21:04Speaker 3: year mortgage is five is usually between six and seven years.
- 21:08Speaker 3: If rates come down, that's gonna. I've been it twice.
- 21:12Speaker 3: Now I've said two things. Now I had no idea
- 21:15Speaker 3: what I was saying. All right, six point five to seven.
- 21:21Speaker 3: But uh so, so they're looking at like this, this
- 21:25Speaker 3: long term play that the government said they're still going
- 21:27Speaker 3: to do. Well, that doesn't really help mortgages because those
- 21:31Speaker 3: are really only five to seven year things that we're
- 21:33Speaker 3: investing in, and so it's more on the shorter term side.
- 21:37Speaker 3: So when they made more of a long term pledge,
- 21:39Speaker 3: short term took a little bit of a hit because
- 21:41Speaker 3: if money's going there, it can't go to the other
- 21:44Speaker 3: So again, so we've been talking about these short term
- 21:46Speaker 3: two year rates not really helping us because we're a
- 21:48Speaker 3: longer term debt. And then we get the shorter you know,
- 21:51Speaker 3: we get something that's longer up to the you know,
- 21:54Speaker 3: this week, but it was too long or so we
- 21:57Speaker 3: sell off too quick. So it's like, what does the
- 22:00Speaker 3: market really need? And so all of that goes back
- 22:04Speaker 3: to we're still in the same three things. We need
- 22:06Speaker 3: the gas prices to come back down, we need the
- 22:09Speaker 3: inflation number to keep slowing, and we need employment to
- 22:13Speaker 3: you know, do what it's been doing. I'm I'm not
- 22:15Speaker 3: rooting for bad employment. But I mean that's that's what
- 22:18Speaker 3: causes the rates to come down. So it's still those
- 22:20Speaker 3: three things right now that we're monitoring and following. But
- 22:22Speaker 3: it is good to know that there's potential that they
- 22:25Speaker 3: could start increasing the bile level of mortgage backed securities
- 22:29Speaker 3: at the government level, because that just brings in more
- 22:32Speaker 3: money that can buy supply and demand rates come down.
- 22:35Speaker 1: So it's really just extending policy. They did not really
- 22:38Speaker 1: doing anything.
- 22:39Speaker 3: No, I think they changed maybe a little bit of
- 22:40Speaker 3: the verbiage of it again that they can that they
- 22:42Speaker 3: can increase purchasing power in it then, but I haven't
- 22:46Speaker 3: read through exactly like what they can do. But the
- 22:48Speaker 3: biggest thing is they're they're extending it and they can
- 22:52Speaker 3: technically increase the purchases over like what they're just replacing.
- 22:56Speaker 1: Right, because I know at one time that they were
- 22:59Speaker 1: I mean multi like high one hundred, I mean building
- 23:04Speaker 1: almost almost one hundred billion, Yes, that they were buying
- 23:07Speaker 1: an asset, yes, and that was keeping the interest rates
- 23:10Speaker 1: a little bit lower than what you would.
- 23:12Speaker 3: Typically would see exactly what happened during COVID even you
- 23:16Speaker 3: know that, I mean that just that's where all the
- 23:17Speaker 3: money was going, yeah, into bonds because then we do
- 23:19Speaker 3: what any businesses we're gonna be doing. Yeah, and just
- 23:22Speaker 3: drove mortgage rates down.
- 23:23Speaker 2: It's so interesting interest rates do well.
- 23:26Speaker 3: There's just so much that goes into the Everybody just thinks,
- 23:29Speaker 3: what's the what's the rate today? I'm like, I mean
- 23:31Speaker 3: it's gonna be close. It's not gonna move a ton,
- 23:33Speaker 3: but I mean it might be different in an hour
- 23:35Speaker 3: than it is right now.
- 23:36Speaker 2: Well, here's what I recommend.
