   Mortgage Rates Are Up. How Are Buyers Making It Work?

   Mortgage rates are climbing again, buyers are looking at adjustable-rate mortgages, and some first-time buyers are getting creative about where their down payment comes from. What does all of that look like in an actual housing market? This week on From the Rooftops, I'm digging into the housing headlines that caught my attention, including rising mortgage rates and renewed interest in ARMs, couples using wedding registries to help build a down payment, and the insurance coverage gaps that can leave homeowners far more exposed than they realize. Then we're taking the conversation to Nashville. Lila McCann, Managing Broker of MW Real Estate at City Heights and a member of the @GreaterNashRealtors Board of Directors, is joining me to talk about what she's seeing on the ground in the Greater Nashville housing market. I want to know what buyers are doing when affordability gets tight, what REALTORS® are hearing from clients and which national housing headlines actually look different when you get down to the local level. I'll also get into my latest Bricks and Grit, "When the ATM Is Out of Order." I'm talking about HELOC resets, what can happen when the interest-only draw period ends, and why homeowners need to know what's coming before that new payment shows up. For REALTORS®, this is the bigger conversation. Our clients are trying to make housing decisions while mortgage costs, household finances and insurance expenses keep changing around them. Understanding the headline is useful. Understanding what it means at the kitchen table is where we earn our keep. Join us Thursday at 9:00 AM ET for From the Rooftops.

Who Really Controls Your Home's Data? | AI, Appraisals & Real Estate

Published 16 Oct 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] Well, according to the information from the appraiser, it's supposed to be confidential. It shouldn't be shared or accessed beyond the homeowner's original transaction. Okay. So if you're the realtor, who do you think should have access to the inspection of work? Well, I would say that as a buyer's broker, I should have access to it because I want to intelligently talk to my buyer about it. I ask permission of my buyers to share it with the seller. That's even in our North Carolina forms, because if we're going to ask the seller to make any adjustments, do some repairs, providing credits, I want them to see the report so they can see what the professional inspector said.
