For years, two-year fixes were the mortgage of choice for most homeowners - but borrowers piled into five-year deals in 2022 and 2023 in a bid to lock in super-low rates. Now, UK Finance figures show shorter fixed deals are once again back in vogue. Does that mean people think rates are heading down - and what do you need to think about when choosing yours? This is Money's Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss. Elsewhere in the property market, TSB data reveals that the average first-time buyer is now past their 30th birthday in all but one region of Britain. Perhaps more surprisingly, though, the amount people borrowed from family to get on the property ladder went down last year. The team ask why that is, and tips for saving a house deposit. Donald Trump's tariffs have continued to dominate the headlines this week, causing a whirlwind on the global markets. Is this going to bring down savings rates for good, and what can people do with their money instead? On the bright side, though, it means there might be a very short window in which you can buy a cheap TV. We are also running a listener survey, to get your thoughts on what you like about the podcast and what we can improve.

Send us a textDan Knott's return to The Mortgage Broker podcast reveals the extraordinary resilience required to maintain a thriving mortgage practice while facing life-altering personal challenges. As a specialist in helping first-time buyers navigate homeownership, Dan's business was flourishing until 2024 delivered multiple simultaneous crises - renovating his late grandmother's home, welcoming a sleep-resistant newborn, and receiving a devastating blood cancer diagnosis.What unfolds is a masterclass in controlling what's controllable. Rather than allowing circumstances to derail his business completely, Dan leveraged years of evergreen content to maintain visibility when creating new material became impossible. His philosophy that "it doesn't have to be done perfectly, but it does have to be done" guided him through months of uncertainty while awaiting final diagnosis results.The podcast explores the unique strength of Dan's client-focused business model, where clients specifically choose him rather than being referred, creating foundations of trust that withstood service interruptions during his health crisis. Now cancer-free, Dan shares how his experience transformed protection conversations with clients: "My immediate concern was just, although all the cover was there for myself, it never seems enough."Looking forward, Dan reveals his plans to launch "Let's Buy a Home" - a podcast helping people navigate both purchasing and early homeownership - along with creating a brand ecosystem spanning mortgages, content creation, community-building, and speaking engagements. His alternative vision challenges the assumption that broker success must follow a traditional expansion model.For anyone facing business challenges while navigating personal crises, this conversation offers both practical strategies and emotional reassurance that recovery is possible. Whether you're a mortgage professional or entrepreneur in any field, Dan's journey demonstrates that resilience isn't about avoiding difficulties, but developing the capacity to navigate through them while maintaining your professional identity.The Mortgage Broker Broadcast on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxXEaYQYmRFg4as3o6uafzq6WP3-omp4N Apple https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/mortgage-broker-broadcast/id1560964722 Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/3xmMdDcgmYh4A74wxeXnCV?si=cbc8f8b024fc4c98 Looking for one to one mentoring, visit my website to see how it works craigskelton.co.uk #mortgagebroker #mortgagebrokers #mortgagebrokeruk #mortgagebrokercoaching #coaching #mortgagebrokerage #mortgagebrokerbusiness #mortgagebrokermarketing ...

The housing market is slowing, with homes taking nearly two months to sell—the slowest pace in five years. Meanwhile, a shift in commissions is unfolding, with rates rising slightly for affordable homes and dipping for high-end properties since the NAR settlement took effect. As affordability improves, experts predict 2025 will be a renter's market, creating new opportunities for those looking to lease rather than buy. Compass is making a major tech play with the launch of “Compass One,” a client portal designed to streamline transactions, while NAR continues its media push with the fifth season of First-Time Buyer. The MLS landscape may be on the verge of transformation, with talks of a national network gaining traction. In other headlines, climate change is reshaping real estate, putting $1.5 trillion in property value at risk, and homebuilders are anxiously awaiting tariff details from Canada and Mexico that could impact costs. Plus, new homes are shrinking—are buyers really looking for less space? And in a wild twist, two wealthy Florida real estate moguls have been denied bail as a judge exposes their fraudulent empire. Tune in for expert insights, bold takes, and everything you need to know about the real estate world this week!

In this episode of The Horizon with John Chang, John interviews economist John E. Silvia to discuss economic outlook and housing market trends. Silvia shares insights on consumer sentiment improvement and housing affordability challenges, particularly in coastal markets. They explore how high interest rates, construction costs, and labor shortages are impacting housing supply, with Silvia noting significant regional disparities in affordability. The conversation covers rental housing trends, with particular focus on Sun Belt markets experiencing high supply growth but strong absorption. They discuss the emergence of build-to-rent models and alternative housing options like townhouses and condos as solutions to housing shortages. Silvia predicts continued strong housing demand over the next 5-10 years but expects construction to remain in "second gear" relative to historical levels, maintaining the current housing shortage of 3-5 million units.

It's time to learn to be resourceful." - Matt Beaudreau Key Takeaways: Unearth your core values and let them guide your personal and professional life, transforming challenges into opportunities for growth and purpose. Embrace resourcefulness as a lifelong skill, actively seeking knowledge and experiences that fuel personal and professional development.

Today's case study is a lesson in using customer feedback to evolve your brand. Despite uniquely positioning themselves as frameless prints for 15 years, Fracture recently made a surprising move. When Meredith English, who led teams at well-known consumer brands like Crocs and Daily Harvest, became the new CEO of Fracture, she recognized the customer demand for a framed option of their signature frameless glass photo prints, and took a calculated risk to roll out this product add-on. Introducing this add-on to their checkout resulted in a 20% increase in their average order value, improved their customer acquisition costs, and finally converted fence-sitters who had been sitting for ages on their email list into paying customers. Here's exactly how Fracture made this decision and launched this add-on, and when it's smart to adapt your business to grow alongside your customers' evolving preferences.
