It's the season for housing market predictions, and we know who to call! Altos Research and HousingWire's Mike Simonsen joins the show to share where his team thinks mortgage rates, home prices, housing inventory, and buyer demand will be in 2025. Every year, the HousingWire team puts together a phenomenal housing market forecast, touching on the topics investors, agents, lenders, and housing nerds care about while recapping the wildest surprises of the year prior. Will mortgage rates finally fall below six percent in 2025? Will home prices dip with housing inventory up a substantial percentage year-over-year? And could agents and lenders finally get some relief with home sales, or will we still see sluggish purchasing and buyer activity? Not to spoil it, but Mike is optimistic about the 2025 housing market and what will come over the next twelve months. Mike breaks down each prediction and what could affect YOU the most, whether you're buying or selling homes. Plus, he shares the one metric his team is watching carefully to see which direction the 2025 housing market is headed. In This Episode We Cover: HousingWire's 2025 housing market forecast and 2024 housing market recap The mortgage rate range you can expect over the next twelve months Home price growth and exactly how much the HousingWire team expects in 2025 Why housing inventory is starting to climb again (and whether it will continue in 2025) One metric Mike and his team are paying very close attention to in 2025 The market's reaction to the 2024 election and President-Elect Trump's win And So Much More!

Jason welcomes Mike Simonsen of Altos Research. Mike discusses real estate trends, noting increased inventory leading to higher sales. Despite higher mortgage rates, demand persists, with 2.8 to 7.7 million more buyers qualifying as rates drop. This surge could strain inventory, creating a competitive market. Simonsen emphasizes the need for sustained higher rates to restore pre-pandemic inventory levels. Jason Hartman underscores the market's importance for the broader economy, highlighting the stimulus from home purchases. Both foresee continued demand, especially if rates decrease, but caution about potential supply shortages amid heightened buyer interest. https://www.altosresearch.com/ Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class: Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com

Skyrocketing rates, shrinking affordability: The U.S. housing market is a mess. It's also a bit of a mystery. Why are prices still sky-high, even though many measures of demand are weak? If the supply of new homes is nearing a historic high, how come the inventory for existing homes is close to a historic low? Today's guests agree that this is one of the weirdest housing markets in recent history. Mike Simonsen, president founder of Altos Research, and Lance Lambert, cofounder and editor-in-chief of Residential Club, join to talk about the state of the U.S. housing market—what makes it ugly, what makes it weird, and what would have to happen to make it better.

Housing inventory has shot up over twenty percent year-over-year. So, are our low inventory struggles finally behind us? During the low interest rate days, housing inventory couldn't keep up with demand. Within days of posting a listing, properties had already gone under contract, and buyers could no longer bid. But now, with higher interest rates, we're finally starting to see a return to “normal,” but a rate cut could take us back to scarce inventory in an instant. So, is now the time to buy? Mike Simonsen from Altos Research joins us on this BiggerNews episode to give an update on housing inventory. Mike's team tracks every home for sale in the country every single week and has been doing so for almost two decades. Today, he gives us the most recent data on homes for sale, why inventory is rising, the states that are seeing the most inventory hit the market, and whether or not we can expect to return to pre-pandemic inventory levels. Plus, for those debating waiting it out for lower mortgage rates, Mike shares exactly how rates will affect housing inventory and why waiting could throw you back into the bidding wars once rates drop again. Mike even discusses the data behind price cuts and when you can expect sellers to start accepting lower bids. In This Episode We Cover: A housing inventory update and why more inventory is finally starting to hit the market What happens to housing inventory if interest rates fall or rise Florida, Texas, and other southern states that are seeing a surge in housing inventory Why most investors are wrong about price cuts What must happen if we're to see inventory rise back to pre-pandemic levels The one thing buyers and sellers should know if they're waiting for rates to fall And So Much More!
