Persistent inflation and rising long-term Treasury yields are making it far less certain that we\u2019ll see a swift return to the lower interest rates many buyers and sellers remember. The Federal Reserve is in a tight spot, working to balance inflation risks with signs that economic momentum may be cooling. What does this mean for you as a homebuyer, seller, or investor in Texas?

Uncertainty about rates, ongoing fiscal pressures, and inflation are all shaping how we approach the current market. As someone who\u2019s guided clients through many market cycles and draws on both family and personal investing experience, I always encourage a balanced approach to decision-making in times like these.
