In this episode of Real Estate Jerky Daily , Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down a hotter-than-expected Producer Price Index report, falling mortgage application volume, and what those numbers could mean for rates in the weeks ahead. They also unpack a strong jump in pending sales in Stanislaus County , discuss what that may signal for March closings, and touch on the growing pressure homeowners are feeling from insurance, fees, and overall affordability.
