Everyone's stunned that mortgage rates just broke above 7.3%. You shouldn't be.

The Fed didn't cut rates this month - it hiked them, unanimously, to 3.75%-4.00% on September 16th, because inflation is still running hot despite solid growth. Now the 10-year Treasury yield has surged past 5.19%, the highest since 2007, and mortgage rates followed it straight up.

Here's what the crowd is missing: economist Mohamed El-Erian says this yield spike isn't a surprise at all. The drivers - heavy government borrowing and massive tech-company debt issuance - have been building for months, telegraphed in plain sight.

Meanwhile in Florida, a quieter win: regulators just approved another round of homeowner insurance rate cuts this week, and Citizens Property Insurance's policy count has shrunk from 1.4 million to under 267,000 since 2023.

And right here in Sarasota, single-family listings are down over 20% year-over-year, with sellers now getting 94.7% of asking price, up from 92.3% a year ago.

Rate shock or buying opportunity?

🚨 SCAM OF THE WEEK: Worth Its Weight in Scams 🚨

Imagine your computer screen suddenly locks up with a pop-up message. The alert warns you that cybercriminals have attacked your device and instructs you to call a number right away to connect with law enforcement.

You call, and a "helpful official" asks for remote access to fix your computer and catch the hackers. But this official is actually a scammer. 🛑

Once inside your computer, they quietly steal your financial information. Then, they claim your money is no longer safe in your bank accounts. Their solution? Withdraw it all, buy physical gold bars, and hand them over to a courier they send to your house for "safekeeping."

In reality, the courier is just another scammer, and your savings are gone for good. 💸

🛡️ Follow these tips to protect your savings:
• Spot the Red Flags: Real security software will never lock your screen and demand you call a number to fix it.
• Stop and Think: Never give remote access to your computer to someone who contacts you unexpectedly—even if they claim to be law enforcement.
• Gold is a Trap: No real law enforcement official or bank will ever tell you to withdraw your savings and convert them into gold, cash, or gift cards.
• Verify Directly: If you have questions about your money, hang up and call your bank directly using the number on the back of your card, or check their official app.
Be safe, stay vigilant, and share this to protect your friends and family! 👥

It's been a strange week for mortgage rates - and a good one.

30-year fixed rates have gently eased all week, down to 6.92% this morning. Not what most expected after the Fed raised its benchmark rate to 3.75%-4% on September 16, its first hike under new Chair Kevin Warsh.

The secret: mortgage rates follow the 10-year Treasury yield, not the Fed's overnight rate. Investors read the hike as the Fed finally getting serious about inflation, which calmed bonds instead of spooking them. A tech-fueled rally and easing US-China/US-Iran tensions added to the pull lower.

Nationally, housing inventory just hit its highest level since 2019, handing buyers leverage. Sarasota tells a different story: RASM's August data shows single-family homes here moving in 47 days at a median $470,000, sellers keeping 94.7% of list price, inventory tightening to 3.7 months. Locally, sellers still have the edge.

Waiting for a "sign," or making your move while everyone else hesitates?
