Mortgage rates and the job market are sending mixed signals right now.

In this video, I break down the latest jobs report and what it actually means for the economy and interest rates.

On the surface, the data looks strong:
• 178,000 jobs added
• 4.3% unemployment

But underneath the headlines:
• Prior months were revised down
• Private sector hiring is slowing
• Layoffs are hitting higher-paying industries
• Job growth is concentrated in lower-paying sectors

The issue isn’t just job growth — it’s job quality.

And that matters because the job market plays a major role in where mortgage rates and interest rates go next.

Right now, the market is balancing:
• A weakening job structure
• Inflation still above target
• Ongoing global uncertainty

That’s why things feel off — even when the data looks strong.

Mortgage rates just jumped — and the Iran Israel war, oil prices, and job data are all playing a role.In this mortgage rates update, I break down what’s really happening with interest rates right now, including how the Iran war, inflation, and the 10-year treasury are impacting the housing market.Right now, the market is balancing:• Iran Israel War → higher oil prices• Higher oil → inflation risk• Inflation → higher mortgage rates• Weak job data → potential rate cutsMortgage rates follow the 10-year treasury — and that’s being driven by both geopolitics and economic data.If tensions in Iran ease, mortgage rates could come down.But if job growth continues to slow, that may become the bigger driver of interest rates.This is exactly what the Fed is watching right now.If you’re buying a home, refinancing, or investing in real estate, understanding where mortgage rates are headed is critical.Book a call with me today: https://calendly.com/kennysimpsonIG: @kennybsimpson#mortgagerates #interestrates #housingmarket #iranisraelwar

Mortgage changes are coming — and they could impact how easy it is to get a loan.In this week’s Brief, I break down what’s happening inside the mortgage industry right now, including new proposals aimed at simplifying the lending process, reducing red tape, and improving efficiency.After the 2008 crash, lending became heavily regulated. While that created stability, it also made the process slower, more expensive, and harder for certain borrowers — especially self-employed buyers and investors.Now, there’s a shift toward:• Easier qualification guidelines• Faster closings and digital mortgages• Less paperwork and friction• More flexibility across lendingThe big question:Can we make mortgages easier without repeating the mistakes of the past?This isn’t happening overnight, but the direction is clear — and it could reshape how lending works over the next few years.If you’re buying, refinancing, or investing, this is something to pay attention to.#mortgagerates #realestate2026 #housingmarket #homebuying #mortgageindustry #realestateinvesting #interest_rates

Everything feels more expensive right now. Groceries, insurance, restaurants, rent, cars, travel, and everyday services all seem to cost dramatically more than they did just a few years ago. Many people are asking the same question: why did prices rise so quickly, and are they ever going to come back down?

In this episode, I break down the four biggest costs businesses are facing today and why those costs are being passed directly to consumers.

Labor, insurance, utilities, and rent have all surged since 2019. For many businesses, these four expenses alone can consume a massive portion of their revenue. When those core costs rise, businesses are forced to raise prices just to survive.

But the story doesn’t stop there.

We also look at how the pandemic, government stimulus, supply chain disruptions, and a surge in consumer spending created a massive economic “party.” Now, years later, consumers and businesses are dealing with the hangover as higher costs ripple through the economy.

In this episode we discuss how the rapid jump in prices over just a few years created a psychological shock for consumers, why many prices may not fall the way people expect, and what it may take for the economy to adjust moving forward.

If you’re wondering why a $5 burrito is now $15, why a dinner for four feels twice as expensive, or why affordability has become such a major issue across the country, this episode breaks down the underlying forces driving those changes.

When you apply for a mortgage and your credit is pulled, that data has historically been sold as a “trigger lead.”

That’s why many borrowers received dozens of calls within minutes.

Starting March 5:

• Credit bureaus can no longer sell trigger leads

• Your lender can still contact you

• Your current servicer may also reach out

The mass call flood should stop.

Just remember: online forms and third-party sites can still resell your information, so where you click still matters.

Current housing data suggests a move toward 5% could release pent-up demand. The setup: •162M+ Americans employed

•Five generations of buyers
•Inventory remains constrained
•Transaction volume has been rate-suppressed

 If financing costs decline meaningfully, demand may re-engage.

 How would your strategy change if that occurs?

Kevin Warsh has officially been nominated to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve Chairman and the big question now is what this means for interest rates, mortgage rates, housing, and the broader economy.

In this episode, we cut through the political noise and focus on what actually matters for borrowers and investors.

I break down who Kevin Warsh is, his background at the Federal Reserve, and whether he is likely to lean more hawkish or dovish. More importantly, we discuss why the bond market reaction matters more than headlines and how the 10 year Treasury ultimately drives mortgage rates.

We also cover:

How jobs, inflation, and consumer spending will determine future rate cuts
Why small businesses are struggling despite strong economic data
The difference between Fed rate cuts and mortgage rate movements
Other policy levers that could bring mortgage rates down beyond the Fed
Why affordability not politics is the real issue heading into 2026

If you are a homebuyer, investor, homeowner, or self employed borrower, understanding how this leadership transition could impact rates is critical. Mortgage markets respond to data, confidence, and forward guidance not just announcements.

As we move deeper into 2026, the real drivers will be the labor market, consumer strength, inflation trends, and bond market belief. That is where the focus should be.

On the surface, the economy looks stable. The stock market is holding up, inflation appears under control, and official messaging says things are fine.

But when you talk directly with small business owners, especially in restaurants and hospitality, a very different reality emerges.

In this episode, I share real conversations with restaurant owners and operators and explain why this sector is already experiencing recession-like conditions, even if the headlines are not acknowledging it yet.

We discuss

Why most restaurants are barely breaking even or losing money
How rising labor, insurance, utilities, rent, and food costs destroyed margins
Why consumer spending is slowing even as prices remain high
How post-pandemic demand turned into a spending hangover
Why businesses can no longer raise prices without losing customers
What this reveals about small businesses beyond restaurants
Why this matters for housing, real estate, interest rates, and the broader economy
Why staying in neutral is risky and how rate cuts could change the outlook

Restaurant margins were always thin, and the combination of higher costs and softer demand has pushed many small businesses to the edge. This is not just a restaurant issue. It is a small business issue with broader economic consequences.

If you want to understand what is happening beneath the surface of the economy and why official narratives often miss early warning signs, this is an important conversation to hear.
