Mortgage rates are the single most important financial metric you must know as an adult. Why? Because if you don’t understand them, you can’t truly forecast the overall health of the economy or how consumers feel about spending, saving, and investing.

In this episode, Sharran breaks down the fundamentals of mortgage rates and why they matter far beyond real estate. He explains what a mortgage actually is, how interest rates are calculated, and the three biggest factors keeping rates higher than expected.

He also shares practical insights for anyone looking to buy a home right now, as well as what smart buyers can do to navigate today’s tough lending environment.

Whether you’re a homeowner, investor, or just trying to understand the financial landscape, this episode will help you see how mortgage rates shape everything–from housing demand to economic confidence.

Tune in now to learn how mortgage rates really work and what they reveal about the future of the economy.

“When things feel risky, everything gets expensive.”
