Shelter includes rent, insurance, hotels, and personal residences. Powell discussed whether cuts can come while housing inflation is still elevated and hinted at only one rate cut this year.

It took a while for these rates to come up, and it's going to take a while for them to come back down. Tune in to this episode to gain a deeper understanding of the current market dynamics and discover how you can better support your clients in achieving their homeownership dreams.
