We’ve been getting monthly updates from the ground floor from Realosophy Realty’s John Pasalis and Oakwyn Realty’s Steve Saretsky, who help make sense of it all, with advice for anyone buying or selling a home.
Saretsky says the economy isn’t ready for higher rates and the debt warnings are all about optics.
