• However, President Trump seems to honor all of his campaign promises
• We have record unemployment numbers, low-interest rates, historic record stock prices, and a growing economy

Inflation is low and there is no fear of a recession in the near future.

What Experts Say

Alex Carlucci of Gustan Cho Associates said the following:

There’s been a lot over the last year. It’s a continuing narrative of uncertainty. Right now there’s nothing to suggest [impeachment] is providing additional uncertainty. Nor will it be shocking people into changing their behavior. The proceedings are unlikely to change how the majority of people across the U.S. approach their real estate acquisitions or sales. People are going to move based on life changes: having kids, marriages, retiring. Those are the drivers. Most evidence that we can look at for how things like this have an effect on the market show it’s usually pretty small if any.

How Political Chaos Affect Mortgage Rates And Housing Market

Mortgage rates are very volatile during times of political unrest. However, as long as the economy continues to be strong, it will not affect the housing market. Mortgage rates are at a 3-year low. Refinances are at record levels. The housing market is on fire with no signs of any slowdown. Inflation is at historic lows. There is no fear of inflation. Consumer confidence levels are at its highest level since 2011. Many are expecting further rate cuts by the Feds. There are certain states like New Jersey, California, Illinois with housing weakness due to high taxes and high cost of living. This is a developing story.
