In this episode of the Real Estate Takeoff Podcast, hosts Mike Tighe and Shawn DiMartile engage in a lively discussion about the future of interest rates. They present contrasting viewpoints on whether interest rates will decrease, remain the same, or increase in the coming years. Shawn argues that interest rates will come down due to factors such as the Federal Reserve's intention to cut rates, the impact of high interest rates on the national debt, and the need to address the shortage of housing. On the other hand, Mike presents data that suggests interest rates may remain stable or even increase based on metrics such as CPI inflation, PPI inflation, and PCE inflation. The hosts explore the potential consequences of different interest rate scenarios and discuss the implications for the economy and real estate market.
