How do global conflicts and shifts at the Federal Reserve actually impact the U.S. housing market? In this video, we move past the clickbait headlines to look at 25 years of historical data. We analyze how mortgage rates and home prices responded during the Gulf War, the War in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War to determine if 2026 is the right time for you to buy or sell.
While news cycles are volatile, the data during global crises is surprisingly consistent. We also discuss the upcoming transition at the Federal Reserve, the reality of wartime inflation, and why personal life events—not just interest rates—should drive your real estate decisions.
In this video, you will learn:
1. How mortgage rates historically drop at the start of major conflicts as investors seek safety in government-backed securities.
2. The specific data from 1991, 2001, and 2003 show that home prices remained stable or increased despite global instability.
3. What the 2026 Fed Chair transition from Jerome Powell to Kevin Warsh could mean for your borrowing power this summer.
4. The relationship between rising inflation, energy prices, and the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage.
5 . Why The Great Stay is beginning to thaw and how to evaluate your own job stability and family needs against market trends.
6. The long-term trajectory of real estate values and why waiting for a 3% rate might not be the best financial move for your specific situation.
