About this episode
Brian and David Wickert dive into August’s surprisingly weak jobs report and what it means for homebuyers and those looking to refinance. With only 22,000 jobs added versus the expected 75,000, mortgage rates responded favorably - giving borrowers some much-needed relief.
**“Every month you wait, you’re wasting money. Why would you voluntarily be paying more?”** They challenge listeners stuck in the “waiting for rates to drop more” mindset, sharing real client stories about the costs of hesitation.
The duo explores Milwaukee area housing data, revealing a subsurface trend: while August home sales stayed flat compared to last year, new listings last month dropped 12% - creating an even tighter seller’s market with just 2.15 months of supply.
Hear fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from the trenches, including a client who lost their job right after getting an accepted offer (**“Can I qualify using my severance?”**) and how creative mortgage solutions saved the day.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or refinancing, this episode delivers practical insights.
