On The Market

Is the labor market finally cracking, and what does that mean for the housing market? Dave Meyer distills the latest BLS and ADP payrolls, JOLTS, and unemployment data, from August's 22,000 nonfarm payroll gain and a 4.3% jobless rate to a 900,000 downward revision and a spike in initial claims, to show a clear cooling trend. He explains why a softer labor market raises the odds of Fed cuts yet inflation keeps pressure on interest rates, so mortgage rates may ease only modestly, boosting transaction volume more than home prices or housing prices. You will hear practical plays for real estate investors, including watching local job numbers, prioritizing tenant retention and collections, and considering refinances if you hold 7 to 8 percent loans, plus how markets like Las Vegas and San Francisco may diverge. Dave's housing market prediction and forecast: a soft but functioning market with cautious upside, where housing prices stabilize and conservative underwriting wins until clearer trends emerge.

Is this a housing market correction or a crash? Dave Meyer and ICE's Andy Walden unpack the Mortgage Monitor: nominal home prices are up about 1.1% year over year, but real housing prices are negative; sellers are stepping back, inventory gains are cooling, and demand still tracks mortgage rates and interest rates, which points to a soft but functioning housing market. You'll hear the regional story in Denver, Florida, and Texas, why FHA delinquencies are inching up while 2020 to 2021 loans perform well, and how soaring property insurance is squeezing affordability and debt to income ratios. Plus, a housing market prediction/forecast: if mortgage rates land in the low sixes (around 6.25% by year end), expect firmer home prices rather than a COVID era surge.

Are current market conditions making real estate a risky investment? This episode of "On the Market" with Dave Meyer dives into the recent warnings from the investment icon Ray Dalio, who advises against real estate investments due to factors like interest rate sensitivity, ease of taxation, and illiquidity. Meyer explores the potential implications for real estate investors and unpacks Dalio's unique perspective on the national debt and long-term debt cycles. How might these economic factors shape the housing market and mortgage rates in the coming months, and should real estate still be considered a stable asset amidst uncertainty? Discover the nuances of hedging risks and positioning your portfolio to weather potential economic storms.

Are you worried that real estate investors are skewing the housing market? In this episode of On the Market, host Dave Meyer and guest expert Rick Sharga dive into the complexities behind investor activities in the housing realm. Discover how investor behavior has shaped the current market landscape, influencing housing prices and inventory. Contrary to some beliefs, small investors play a critical role by fueling market liquidity rather than causing housing prices to spike. Listen in as they unravel how mortgage rates, housing market forecasts, and affordability trends will unfold over the next couple of years. As we tread through this transitional period, the housing market could remain lukewarm for a while longer. Are we on the verge of a 'great stall' or just a balanced market correction?

The housing market is already predicted to see price cuts by the end of the year, but is now the time to buy, or should you wait for further price movement? We brought on an investor who has successfully timed the housing market (three times) to give his thoughts on whether we're at the bottom or we have a long way to go. If you've been holding out for lower home prices and less competition, should you take the risk and wait, knowing a rebound could be on the way? Through a combination of genius and a bit of luck, Brian Burke has sold, bought, and sold at the right times repeatedly. He exited the majority of his real estate portfolio in the early 2020s as prices hit all-time highs and competition was fierce. For the last three and a half years, he hadn't bought anything, up until very recently. Is this a signal that now is the time to buy? Today, we're asking Brian whether 2025 is the right time to buy (and for which assets), how to get in “position” to make a profit as home prices decline, the sellers most likely to give you concessions and further price cuts, and signs YOU should sell your headache rental and trade it for something better. The second half of 2025 could be when the scales tip—are you ready to make a move?

Is the “long fizzle” the housing market's next chapter? With mortgage rates still high and interest rates keeping cash parked in T-bills, many buyers are sidelined, pointing to a housing market prediction of flat home prices in nominal terms and falling housing prices after inflation. Dave and analyst Nick Maggiulli connect today's risk-on/risk-off behavior back to housing and outline three paths: melt-up followed by a correction, a long fizzle, or a supply-driven drop that's least likely. Nick also shares a practical playbook so you can position for any housing market forecast, focus on income growth, keep investing steadily, and aim for “doubles” in real estate while protecting your downside.

Are property taxes actually illegal theft from homeowners? This episode dives deep into the growing chorus of Americans claiming property taxes violate constitutional property rights, examining two main legal arguments: the "no true ownership" theory, and possible Fifth Amendment violations. These arguments are gaining steam in several states, but are they legally valid? On The Market host Dave Meyer explores that question, plus how rising home prices are driving property tax reform movements across states like Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, potentially reshaping the housing market by reducing ownership costs and affecting home prices, mortgage affordability, and regional migration patterns.

In this episode of On the Market, expert investors Dave Meyer, Kathy Fettke, James Dainard, and Henry Washington reveal four game-changing housing market trends they're seeing right now.

Is chasing hot markets like Austin and Nashville actually hurting your long-term wealth building? In this episode, Dave Meyer and Kathy Fettke dive deep into a heated BiggerPockets forums debate about whether low-appreciation, high-cashflow markets like Cleveland and Memphis can grow your net worth faster than trendy appreciation markets. They reveal why the "slow and steady" approach might not be the wealth-building winner you think it is, sharing real examples from Kathy's 30 years of investing across both market types. Dave and Kathy discuss the hidden costs of cashflow markets, why timing matters more than market type, and how to find the perfect hybrid markets that offer both appreciation potential and solid returns in today's challenging housing market conditions.

With housing market conditions shifting dramatically from a seller's to buyer's market, real estate investors are facing a critical decision: should you buy more properties now, pay down existing mortgages, or wait for even better deals? In this episode, On The Market host Dave Meyer and expert panelists Kathy Fettke, James Dainard, and Henry Washington dive deep into current market opportunities, sharing specific examples of deals that weren't available just months ago and debating whether declining home prices and falling mortgage rates create the perfect storm for investors.

Are we witnessing the beginning of a housing market crash, or is this just a healthy correction? With 42% of homes on the market having taken price reductions — the highest level in 12 years — host Dave Meyer sits down with Mike Simonsen, Chief Economist at Compass, to decode what these dramatic inventory changes really mean for investors and homebuyers. This episode reveals why rising inventory and falling prices don't automatically signal a market crash, and how current market dynamics are creating unprecedented buyer negotiating power for the first time in years.

Could President Trump's battle with Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve over interest rates actually lead to higher mortgage rates instead of the lower rates Trump is pushing for? On The Market host Dave Meyer explores how Trump's challenge to Fed independence might backfire (hint: bond investors don't like it) and the economy-wide implications for uncertain rates in the near future.

Why are home prices finally falling? And how deep will the correction go? The number of large housing markets experiencing falling home prices has tripled since January 2025. ResiClub editor-in-chief Lance Lambert joins On The Market host Dave Meyer to break down why this widespread softening is happening now, how price dynamics are pushing more buyers toward new construction, and whether we've reached the bottom of the softening cycle.

Dave Meyer and Kathy Fettke reveal their current real estate investment strategies, including the assets and markets they think will have the best values for the rest of 2025. Dave and Kathy emphasize the importance of securing fixed-rate financing in today's volatile interest rate environment, warning that commercial loans may be risky with uncertainty around the future of Fed independence and the rising national debt. Later in the episode, Dave explains why hard assets like real estate remain excellent hedges against potential currency devaluation, and how properties can turn inflationary environments into advantages for investors.

Successfully navigating today's housing market requires understanding the trends creating both opportunities and risks for investors. But what if varying data points in different directions? While the national average home price hit a new record high, prices in more than one third of major U.S. housing markets are now declining, particularly in Florida and Texas where some areas face crash-level drops. Meanwhile, new construction starts are slowing as builder confidence erodes and contract cancellations have reached 15%, signaling a shift toward buyer leverage. Host Dave Meyer breaks down what these mixed housing market signals mean for real estate investors on this episode of On The Market.

Will mortgage rates finally fall in the second half of 2025? Host Dave Meyer predicted rates in the mid-6's back in December, which has proved accurate halfway through this year. Now, Dave is providing his outlook for the rest of 2025, and a long-term mortgage rate forecast for the next several years.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, America's largest bank, just issued a major economic warning. In Dimon's eyes, the economy has falsely recovered from the tariffs imposed on Liberation Day, with investors exhibiting an extraordinary amount of “complacency” in the face of mounting economic risks. If the country's biggest bank is saying this, why aren't Americans listening, and what should you do with your investments right now to protect yourself from more risks to come? The Liberation Day tariffs tanked the stock market and raised serious inflation concerns almost overnight. While the stock market has recovered, inflation fears are still peaking, economic sentiment has deflated, and consumer debt is rising. Is now the time to sell and move into cash in case a recession or more serious economic downturn arrives? Dave is breaking down the most significant economic risks we face right now, which have the biggest effects on real estate, and how he is personally managing his money to protect himself from economic risks that most investors aren't prepared for. But what should you be doing now? Dave is sharing his “capital preservation” checklist. In This Episode We Cover Jamie Dimon's major warning for the U.S. economy and the threat of “complacency” The biggest risks facing the economy today and whether or not they can be mitigated Why the state of the U.S. consumer is starting to seriously worry economists (and Dave) How to protect your investments (and your wealth) during economic downturns Why you MUST switch to “capital preservation” mode when economic cracks begin to form And So Much More!

Warren Buffett just dropped a blunt take on why real estate may not deliver the same upside as stocks. Is he onto something—or overlooking key factors that still make the housing market a smart bet? We're breaking it all down on today's headlines episode!   Meanwhile, a huge wave of properties is quietly changing hands. Boomers are passing down homes, but are Millennials ready for the keys? For many heirs, this transfer of wealth is proving to be much more than they bargained for. Sky-high renovation costs, large mortgage balances, and rising taxes and insurance premiums can make inheriting a home feel more like a burden than a blessing. What's more, without proper estate planning, families could face unexpected capital gains taxes or get stuck in probate court.   Our panel of experts unpacks these challenges and what every family should know before passing down property. Plus, we're tracking new issues like falling vacation home demand, rising Treasury yields, and their potential impact on the housing market. Are new real estate investing opportunities hiding in plain sight? Let's get into it! In This Episode We Cover Why Warren Buffett sees more upside in stocks than real estate (and what he's missing) Boomers are transferring $19 trillion in real estate (and why millennials aren't ready) Why falling demand for vacation homes opens the door for short-term rental opportunities How rising Treasury yields and US deficit concerns affect real estate investors How smart investors tweak their strategies and stay one step ahead as markets shift And So Much More!

Rent growth has slowed significantly since the massive hikes of 2020-2023, but could we be close to another major rebound? A surge in multifamily supply has led many apartments to offer discounted rents, move-in and renewal concessions, and other perks to attract renters. Renters currently have the upper hand, but what happens when the supply-demand balance shifts—and less than half the usual new supply comes online? Dave is answering that question in this May 2025 rent update. We'll walk through which cities have rising rents, which are seeing declines, multifamily vs. single-family rents, and a new (optimistic) 2025–2026 rent forecast that could change everything for landlords. Single-family rentals are already in decent demand, so what happens when those cheaper multifamily apartments reach maximum occupancy? This could be great news for landlords and real estate investors, but the general public is NOT paying attention. If rental demand stays steady but supply drops off a cliff, you could stand to benefit. We're getting into that, and more, in this episode! In This Episode We Cover New May 2025 rent growth update and single-family vs. multifamily numbers The huge investor opportunity for 2026 as multifamily supply dries up Cities with rising rents that very few investors would have predicted An optimistic rent growth forecast (and whether Dave believes it) Surprisingly expensive markets that are seeing rents grow EVEN more And So Much More!

New builds are popping up everywhere. But some markets have a lot more new homes on the way. This could be risky for real estate investors in these areas, as steady demand and growing supply could put downward pressure on home and rent prices. Where are builders the most and least bullish in 2025, and which markets have so much supply that investors might want to steer clear? Today, we're giving you a housing supply and inventory update. Austin Wolff joins us again to share findings from the latest builder sentiment survey—how confident builders are in today's housing market—and which markets they're building the most (and least) in. This is crucial as an investor, whether you rent or flip, since supply is one factor investors can't control. Builder sentiment has seen a quick reversal from the 2020 - 2022 highs, but why are there still so many new development projects if builders are bearish? With permits finally getting approved, many builders are forced to complete projects, even during weaker market conditions, leading to lower prices for new build buyers and some dangerous “spillover” effects for investors in the market. In This Episode We Cover Why builder confidence has dropped so much, and why they can't stop building (even with less profit) Markets seeing the most new construction and potential downward pressure on home prices Why now may be a great time to pick up a new build as developers give concessions The simple formula you can use to see if your market has too much supply for demand Could pessimistic builder conditions be better for appreciation in the long run?   And So Much More!

Price cuts are hitting the housing market fast, and Wall Street is paying close attention.

Price cuts surge across the housing market as inventory bounces back in a big way. The “healthier” housing market is starting to show, and the “gap” between buyers and sellers is shrinking. Zillow's Orphe Divounguy is back to give a sneak peek at their latest housing market data, which shows encouraging signs for buyers, agents, lenders, and anyone who wants the housing market to get back in action! After Zillow recently forecasted a home price decline in 2025, many saw this as a bearish signal for housing. But Orphe, Senior Economist at Zillow, says that this is instead a good sign for the market. With inventory rising, sellers are getting more realistic, meaning lower prices and more choice for buyers. But what about mortgage rates—could they also drop and fuel even greater affordability? Orphe is sharing his mortgage rate prediction as well. How will trade wars and tariffs affect the housing market with so many Americans on the financial edge? Could higher inflation and a potential recession breed big trouble for the housing market? We're getting Orphe's refreshingly data-backed (and surprisingly optimistic) take on what's to come in the rest of 2025. In This Episode We Cover Zillow's latest May 2025 housing market update (and GOOD news for buyers) Record price cuts: why sellers are starting to get realistic Housing markets seeing the most pain, and which to think twice about before investing How trade wars and tariffs could hit housing, and Orphe's take on inflation Is a recession really coming?

Economic risk is growing, and protecting/building your wealth could get more challenging. Stocks are overvalued, mortgage rates are high, and many Americans feel stuck without a good option. What's BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench doing with his money to protect his wealth from inflation, recessions, and easy-money policies? Today, Scott shares his exact plan (and new investments!). Scott went on record a few months ago to talk about his big move—cashing out of much of his index fund portfolio. What, in hindsight, looked like perfect market timing was instead a defensive move to protect himself from growing irrational exuberance. Where did he put the cash he got from the sale? Right into real estate, and so far, it's working out quite well. Today, Scott talks about the exact property types he's buying, the best investing move for a beginner to make given today's challenging economic landscape, and the significant economic risks that could be coming in 2025 and 2026. Scott's putting his money where his mouth is, and, so far, he's been spot on. Would you take the same approach to protect your wealth? In This Episode We Cover What BiggerPockets CEO Scott Trench is investing in while stocks remain overvalued and economic risk grows The best real estate investments for someone starting in today's economic environment Growing economic risks from tariffs, a new Fed chair, and what's sparking new inflation fears Want lower interest rates?

The US economy is shrinking, with GDP declining this quarter. We're getting closer to recession territory, so why aren't mortgage rates dropping? We'll explain how one crucial part of the economy is staying strong—keeping the Fed from cutting and delaying the typical rate-drop that comes with a recession. What's stopping us from going back to sub-6% mortgage rates? We'll break it down in this episode. The economy is changing—fast. The US saw its GDP turn negative last quarter as many Americans braced for the impact of tariffs. But even with the overall economy lagging, labor data remains strong. Jobs are still being created, unemployment is relatively low, and Americans are going to work. This may be the single factor keeping the Fed in limbo, unable to cut rates any further. So, what happens if the labor market breaks? Home builders were already anxious over the past year, and now they're getting even more hesitant to build. With tariffs pushing up prices for materials, building (and buying) a house could get much more expensive. And with builders already dropping prices, could this lead to a broader decline in home prices across the nation? In This Episode We Cover A worrying sign for the US economy and whether it could trigger lower mortgage rates The one thing standing in the way of the Fed finally cutting rates again Tariff effects on GDP and the first signs of what they could do to our economy New labor market numbers and why jobs are being added as the economy shrinks Are we in a recession? And does it even matter if we are? And So Much More!

Another MLS lawsuit is making waves—this time aiming to remove unfair listing rules and help both buyers and agents. Experts say we're in a “healthy” housing market, but does it feel that way? A high-demand, often-overlooked “cash cow” rental strategy is exploding in 2025, and we talk about everyone's favorite state to hate: California. Is investing in Los Angeles actually worth it? All that, and more, in today's show! Experts from HousingWire are calling today's housing market “healthier” as buyers gain leverage, inventory rises, and pending sales increase. If you're a hesitant investor, it may be time to get in the game, but flippers and sellers must be careful. James and Henry share how they're still (profitably) selling deals in today's market. Want to make WAY more cash flow? This rental strategy's demand is surging, and there's not enough supply! We'll describe the strategy and why it's become a “cash cow” with even better future potential. Is the appreciation worth investing in America's hardest housing market—California? Finally, a new MLS lawsuit makes waves as a key brokerage challenges strict selling standards that could be hurting buyers, sellers, and agents. What happens if they win? In This Episode We Cover The new MLS lawsuit that may trigger a “domino” effect leading to the end of the MLS A cash-flowing rental strategy with growing demand in 2025 and where it works Why experts say the housing market is “healthy” again—but why it still feels off Does it ever make sense to invest in California?

What the heck is happening with the US economy? Stocks are down, now they're up, mortgage rates are dropping—wait, scratch that—they're back up again, the Fed could have a new chair, and if they cut rates, interest rates could…rise? A “technical” recession is on the way, but will it have the same effects as the last one? We need some backup to explain the state of the US economy, and J Scott is here to do just that. J wrote the book on Recession-Proof Real Estate Investing and is known as one of the most economically aware real estate investors. Today, we're diving into it all: mortgage rates, recession chances, inflation rates, tariffs, trade wars, future home price predictions, and what J plans to do with his money. Home prices are already unstable, but could a recession, combined with high inventory and low demand, push us over the edge? This may not be another 2008, for many reasons, but the psychological effect of a recession can be severe—especially on homebuyers and sellers. We're giving you J's complete overview of the economy today. In This Episode We Cover Whether or not home prices are at risk as we enter a “technical” recession J's investment plan for 2025 and the assets he's most bullish on The massive undersupply problem that's propping up the housing market Inflation forecasts and the unexpected tariff side effects that could cost Americans Why “just buy American” won't stop you from feeling inflation How the Fed cutting rates could…raise rates?

Stagflation: the combination of two of the worst economic conditions—inflation and slow/no growth. With stagflation, prices rise, asset growth shrinks, unemployment increases, consumer confidence drops, and economic pain spreads. This is the first time in almost fifty years that the US has had to deal with what is an extremely rare economic scare. And with the Fed already under immense pressure to lower rates, is the US economy out of escape routes? Today, we're talking about stagflation—a trend that has worried major economists for months. Economic “warning signs” are already flashing as recession and inflation risks grow. But if we get hit with stagflation, how bad will it be, how long will it last, and how will it affect real estate? I'm explaining it all today. We'll walk through what happened during the 1970s stagflation crisis, how home and rent prices were affected, what's causing today's stagflation risk, and whether the Fed has any power left to mitigate the worst consequences of it. This could affect every American and anyone investing in American real estate, but have my investing plans changed? I'll tell you what I'm doing next.  In This Episode We Cover Stagflation explained and why it's becoming a greater risk in 2025 Why the Fed may be out of options to fight stagflation and what's causing it Reviewing the 1970s stagflation crisis and what happened to real estate prices then Inflation forecasts for 2025 and how much more prices could rise My current investing plan and how I'm looking at real estate if stagflation strikes And So Much More!

The housing market may be at greater risk than many of us thought. An economic trifecta is forming. If all three conditions hit at once, it could spell serious problems for anyone in the real estate industry. We may be close to a time when high home prices, high mortgage rates, and a recession all meet, causing a significant slowdown with effects that could hurt everyone who buys, sells, or helps transact on homes. But how likely is this to happen? The past month has been a wild ride for the economy. Mortgage rates fell dramatically but are now shooting back up. Inflation and unemployment fears are peaking as consumer confidence drops to unprecedented levels. And now, new tariffs could drive costs even higher. This could change everything, weakening the US dollar and making buying a house even harder. Every real estate investor, agent, lender, or professional should understand these risks because the effects could be severe. In this episode, we're breaking down all the latest economic changes and how they affect the housing market. In This Episode We Cover New risks to the housing market that could cause big changes for buyers and sellers Why interest rates are starting to reverse, shooting back up EVEN with high recession risk The trifecta of bad news for the housing market and what investors must know now What a weakening dollar means for mortgage rates and the US economy as a whole Transaction volume forecasts and whether we'll still see a hot spring homebuying season And So Much More!

What if you could predict how a housing market performs before buying there? This would allow you to invest only in the best areas across the US, putting money down where you know it will multiply and letting you get leagues ahead of the other investors. This is MORE than possible, but you'll need to know which metrics mean the most to an investing market. Neal Bawa has been doing this for years, building a huge real estate investing empire simply by looking at the data others often ignore. Today, he's giving you his exact strategy. Why should you NOT invest in your backyard? It may seem like the easiest place to start, but Neal says you could miss out on a massive upside by sticking to what is comfortable. As a data scientist, he puts the numbers before the hype, ditching cities that investors are flocking to and investing in those that only have the most solid fundamentals. He mentions one metric that makes a housing market grow or slow in rent prices, but which metric is it? Today, Neal is sharing the best markets across the US to invest in, why renters prefer one type of housing over others (it's not what you'd think), what Neal is buying NOW even with high interest rates and still (relatively) stubborn sellers, and why his six-metric formula is the key to predicting which markets will boom. In This Episode We Cover How to predict rent growth and home price growth in ANY market in America Multifamily vs. single-family rentals and why one hybrid is beating both Neal's top 2025 markets to invest in using his six-metric market formula Why Neal stopped making offers on apartments and started buying THIS instead Is local real estate investing hurting your returns?

Consumer confidence collapses, China flashes its “nuclear option,” Zillow goes after secret listings, and uh oh, renovations could get even pricier—what does it all mean for your investments? Americans are dealing with severe trade war whiplash, and it's starting to show. Consumer sentiment has fallen off a cliff in the most recent reading, with many Americans fearful that inflation will spike back up, the economy will slow way down, and we'll be stuck in economic quicksand. How close is this to reality, and if average Americans are panicking, what should investors do to keep their sanity and portfolios stable? It's been quite a week, so we're bringing you the biggest headlines from the housing market and more! Zillow fights to unlock some of the “gated” listings agents and brokers have been using to curate their clientele selectively. Don't know what secret listings we're talking about? There's a good chance they were hidden from you, too! China holds the “nuclear option” that could end the trade war, but will they use it, knowing that it could quickly send a shockwave across the shore and straight into China's own economy? Plus, are things really that bad? According to Americans…yes. Consumer sentiment is now hovering around ten-year lows. Flipper confidence could be next, as construction costs may rise due to tariffs. How do you protect your deals, no matter what's coming down the pipeline? In This Episode We Cover China's secret weapon against high tariffs (and whether they'll actually use it) New consumer sentiment numbers that show just how bad Americans think the economy will get  Inflation expectations and why many Americans are prepared for a return to constantly rising prices Zillow's move to end listing gatekeeping and open up more housing options for ALL buyers James' time-tested advice to take NOW if you're renovating or flipping a home And So Much More!

Large multifamily, for the most part, has been an “uninvestable” asset for the past few years. Tons of new inventory hitting the market, short-term loans coming due, rising expenses, and stagnant rent growth are just a few reasons investors have avoided this asset like the plague. Even veteran multifamily investor Brian Burke sold off a majority of his portfolio when prices were sky-high. Now, the oracle of multifamily has come back to share why he thinks we have two years until this reverses. Brian believes there's a strong “signal” that sellers are about to get real, buyers will have more control, and rent prices will grow again. Could this be the bottoming out of the multifamily real estate market, or are we still years away from any recovery? What about small “sweet spot” multifamily rentals or single-family homes? Are they worth investing in right now? Brian shares exactly which assets have the most (and least) potential and the recession indicators to watch that could throw the real estate market out of whack. In This Episode We Cover The state of large multifamily in 2025: Is it finally time to get back in the game? The “sweet spot” multifamily properties small investors should be buying now Why 2027 could be the year that the multifamily market reverses Is residential real estate (single-family rentals) still a worthwhile buy in this housing market?

Last week's tariff announcement from the Trump administration put the stock market in a freefall. Major indexes are now past correction territory and on their way to crash status. But one silver lining for real estate investors? Mortgage rates. Economic fear is pushing more investors to buy bonds, lowering yields and mortgage rates. How long will suppressed mortgage rates last, and could rates fall even more? The Trump administration's latest round of tariffs may be the most significant change in economic policy in 50 years. This affects not just Americans but the entire world, as President Trump purposefully pursues a “deglobalization” strategy. This could force us to form new allies, break ties with old ones, and see a shift to much less reliance on foreign trade partners. What does that mean for real estate investors? Well, you could see certain costs go up—significantly. We'll discuss exactly which costs will rise, and by how much, and what investors should do to protect themselves—not panic—in this highly volatile time.  In This Episode We Cover Trump's latest tariff announcement explained and the countries that will be hit hardest Why Canada and Mexico were excluded from the new round of tariffs How economic fear affects interest rates, and whether these low(er) rates will last One MASSIVE risk that could hurt all Americans if it comes to fruition What Dave is doing right now to protect (and grow) his portfolio during downturns And So Much More!

Mortgage delinquencies are up…or are they? One chart that's been circulating on social media would have you believe that a growing number of homeowners are on the brink of foreclosure, driving us toward another 2008-style collapse. Is the panic justified or unfounded? We'll dig into the data in today's episode! A Freddie Mac chart has been doing the rounds recently, showing a massive jump in delinquencies, but what the data really reveals is a spike in another type of real estate delinquency—a trend that should come as no surprise, given how rising interest rates impact adjustable-rate loans. But what about residential real estate? Are regular homeowners now suddenly missing mortgage payments to 2008 levels? There's no denying that we're entering a buyer's market. While a 2008-style housing market crash is unlikely, inventory is growing, and home prices could decline another 2%-3%. Whether you're a regular homebuyer or real estate investor, this means you have an unusual amount of negotiating leverage. We'll share a strategy you can use to insulate yourself from a potential dip and capitalize on an eventual surge in home prices! In This Episode We Cover How mortgage delinquency rates impact the housing market overall Why real estate is historically less volatile than stocks and other markets The “canary in the coal mine” that could signal trouble for the housing industry Why we're seeing an (expected) surge in these mortgage delinquencies Taking advantage of a buyer's market and a potential “dip” in home prices And So Much More!

Home prices are falling fast in some prime real estate markets across the country while others remain stubbornly stuck. What's the defining factor between a stable housing market and one where sellers are actively cutting prices? Housing inventory! This metric defined the 2020 - 2022 run-up in home prices, but the rubber band of demand is snapping back as buyer power grows, housing inventory rises, and investors get even better buying opportunities. Remember when people said, “I'll buy when prices drop”? Well, now might be the time. ResiClub's Lance Lambert joins us to provide a holistic view of housing inventory, prices, demand, and emerging opportunities. Lance walks through the most up-to-date data on where housing inventory is rising fast, where prices are quickly declining, and which markets are holding on as sellers remain in control. We'll also talk about why homebuilding costs are about to JUMP and the reason Warren Buffett sold his homebuilding stocks shortly after buying them. Will construction slow down, limiting new inventory and leading us back into ultra-low supply? If so, this could push home prices higher, creating a prime opportunity for real estate investors. In This Episode We Cover US real estate markets seeing the most and least new inventory, and where prices are falling  Is spiking inventory a worrying sign for the housing market, or are we merely normalizing? What to look at in your housing market to forecast whether prices will rise or fall  Why are homebuilding costs about to JUMP, and could this lead to even more inventory problems? The new housing trend: Older renters, but could this mean more demand for rentals? And So Much More!
