  Speaker 2: up with actual physical trophies that we used to have. Yeah,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: I agree, I still have some of my trophies. Yeah,

• 17:37
  Speaker 1: well as selling our property, he made the process extremely simple.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: As well as always being a text away, his response
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: time was very fast and always helpful, we got a
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: great selling price for our home and also got a
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: great deal negotiated for the home we purchased. We tell

  Speaker 2: On another five star review. Why not let's do another?
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: Let's go?
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: This is from Angel. Angel said, we cannot say enough
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: about Gusty. From the second we got his contact, he
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: immediately started getting to know the houses we were interested in,
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: and more importantly, us as people. He and Isaac worked
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: diligently to make sure we saw houses that matched our
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: preferences and also pushed us to consider so many important
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: factors we never would have thought about. For first time
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: home buyers, we could not have asked for a better experience.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: So thankful for them. So Angel, thank you so much
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: for the opportunity to represent you finding your first home.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: And gust Musty congratulations on another five star review.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Well, I like talking about the team and sometimes myself
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: just do it.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: I love those five star reviews. Hey, yeah, they're good.
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: Y'all stay tuned.
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: We're gonna talk just to Hair a little bit on
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: the next segment about interest rates, real state market, but
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: probably more about interest rates right here on ball Barn
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and Sold. Stay tuned, Welcome back to Ball Barn and Sold.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Thank you as always for joining us and listening in,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: tuning in about all the things in Birmingham, Alabama, real
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: estate and when we talk about real estate, something that
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: goes along with real estate is mortgage interest rates. Yeah, Buddy,
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Brad Smith with Cross Country Mortgage, have we had any
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: positive news over the past week on interest rates?
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: We have had zero positive news over the man, I
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: was really hoping that you were going to give me
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: something good news today. Well, okay, so like this this is,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: this is this is a headline that I had to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: just pull out just to save because this is it's
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: too good. Okay. Mortgage rates remain almost perfectly flat, almost
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: perfect almost perfectly so. So we had a little we
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: had a little good news, we had a little bad news,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: we had a little good news, we had a little
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: bad news, and we're just flat. I mean, it's it
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: is one hundred percent hinged right now. On Like, so
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: our CPI and PPI numbers came out this week, so
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: inflation still you know, still inflation is obviously still a
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: thing and slowed down a little bit. The PPI numbers
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: were hired, and they were supposed to be almost all
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: of that attributed to the fuel cost and oil and energy.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: You know you're talking about earlier about concrete and rock
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: and brick and stuff like that, going like that. No
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: tone with that, just the just that that cost is
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: right now on the petroleum and oil cost. And so
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: Trump made it. I think we we had a couple
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: other strikes going on trying to get this. So so
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: as long as the war is going on, I think
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: we're stuck here. I mean that's pretty much what everything
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: else is saying. And so fair enough because the other
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: thing constantly on everything I'm see read here and and
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: what I've been saying now for Phil's like I don't
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: know two months, three months now, at least six weeks.
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: But is they, uh, the the oil driver there is
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: all that we're tied to right now, and so every
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: time anything comes up with the war, so then the
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: new strikes.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: But but they keep saying that it's going to be
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: short lived. So as soon as as soon as there's
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: there's an answer, some kind of plan in the middle
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: east with the on the world I ran right now,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: as soon as there's some kind of plan or or
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: looks towards an end, we should immediately just completely make
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: a quick move back down. So so it's one of
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: those things where it's a it's an indefinite driver that's
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: holding them up, that that could go away at any
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: moment or could go on for a year, you know,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, like who knows so, but but I mean
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: if we can get that part settled and then oil
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: feel good and respond, then everything else will come down
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: with it, and so it every that I mean, we're
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: literally I mean, my biggest thing right now is if
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: if if something happens on top of this that would
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: cause them to drive up, push them up more, which
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: is what we definitely don't want. And so right now,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna happen. But I mean right now,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: because we are so stuck, no good news moving us
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: off this war front. That's keeping the rates where they are,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: so you know, but we could always get something else
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: that could make it worse and so to stack on
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: top of it. So that's probably my only like negative
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: as far as I see, is like the war's got
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: to end. For rates to come down at this point,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: but they could keep going up, they could go have
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: a trend to go back up. So again, no good
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: news but literally almost perfectly flat.
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: Well, the good news, even with all of that, you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: going on in the world, there's people still looking at house.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, again, listen, we start going over. I mean
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the last few years, we're still lower than really you know,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: we're historically still in one of the all time low periods,
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: it being in the sixes on thirty year fixed rates.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: I mean, so that that again we were just in
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: the fours for so long and then even saw some
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: threes and twos during COVID that it trained a bunch
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: of brains. Especially you think about all the first time
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: home buyers we had in that rain that never knew
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: of a different interest rate, right, and so it's been retraining,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: and so people are this is this is a pretty
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: balanced market in all fairness, and so we'll just roll
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: with and people still buying selling house, just rolling with it.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: So anyways, what I can tell you is it really
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: does depend on your house, and it depends on the location,
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: It depends on the condition, depends on the price, it
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: depends on so many things. So, because it depends on
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: a lot of stuff, you need to depend on the
• 23:27
