Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell faces congressional testimony this week amid mounting political pressure from President Trump to cut interest rates. Lawmakers are expected to question Powell on the Fed's cautious stance, Trump's tariff-driven economic uncertainty, and proposals affecting banking regulations and reserve payments. Meanwhile, new data shows U.S. home-price growth slowed to 2.7% in April, the weakest pace since mid-2023, as high mortgage rates and economic concerns cooled buyer demand.

Steve Gruber discusses news and headlines 

The median sale price just hit an all-time high of $396,500, but price growth is slowing and homes are selling below asking. With inventory up 14.5% year-over-year and down payments shrinking, buyers are regaining leverage. FHA and VA loans are on the rise, more homes are sitting on the market, and sellers are increasingly willing to negotiate.

Today, Todd dives into one of the biggest questions in housing today: Why do home prices seem so much higher now compared to the 1970s, and is buying still worth it compared to renting? Todd breaks down how inflation, wages, interest rates, and lifestyle changes all play into the dramatic shift in home values. You might be surprised to learn that it's not just the sticker price that's changed, but also how we finance, use, and think about housing. He'll also walk through the real numbers—what homes actually cost back then versus today, and how monthly mortgage payments stack up against current rent prices. Whether you're a first-time buyer, a renter, or a real estate investor, this episode will help you make sense of the market and what smart financial decisions look like right now.

In this episode, we break down the latest data from Redfin's Home Price Index, which shows U.S. home prices slipped 0.1% in April—the first monthly decline since September 2022. Host Matt Myre unpacks what's behind this shift, from cautious buyers and recession fears to rising inventory and stalled sales. While annual price growth is still up 4.1%, it's the slowest increase in nearly a year. We also explore which metro areas saw the biggest drops—and the surprising markets where prices are still rising. Tune in for a sharp look at what this softening means heading into peak season.

Real estate markets don't just take off by accident — it's a combination of local economic factors, macro-trends, and smart investments between the public and private sector.That's why, after recent trips to Austin, TX and Tampa, FL, JWB Real Estate Capital's co-founder, Gregg Cohen, and show host, Pablo Gonzalez, are bringing you a "boots-on-the-ground" look at how downtowns transform — and what that tells us about Jacksonville's future.They'll break down:- What downtown Austin, Tampa, and Jacksonville feel like today from an investor's lens- How urban design and private investment create real estate booms (and how close Jacksonville is)- Why Tampa's Water Street project is a model for what Pearl Street in Jacksonville could become- The early signals that tell you when home prices are about to skyrocketThis will be a story-driven, experience-based show — not just stats and spreadsheets — to give you insights you can't get anywhere else.If you want to understand what's driving the next wave of real estate growth (and how to get ahead of it), this is the episode for you.Listen NOW!Chapters:00:00 Introduction to Investing Beyond Rental Properties01:35 Welcome to the Not Your Average Investor Show02:10 Big Announcement: JWB's Largest Incentive Package Ever02:54 Understanding the 5% Interest Rate Lock-In05:17 Q&A: Details on the Incentive Package06:40 The Importance of Incentives in High Interest Rate Environments12:06 Gregg Cohen's Family Vacation in Austin15:37 Exploring Downtown Austin: A Vision for Jacksonville19:07 Comparing Austin's Development to Jacksonville's Future23:20 Activating the Waterfront and Cultural Icons25:45 Entrepreneurship and Urban Development28:04 Public-Private Partnerships and Urban Design32:25 The Rise of Austin's Skyscrapers33:12 Historical Preservation in Downtown Austin36:20 The Parking Dilemma in Austin38:47 The Future of Downtown Jacksonville42:09 Investing in the Next Great American Downtown46:10 The Numbers Behind Downtown Investments49:54 Opportunities with JWB in Jacksonville57:58 Final Thoughts and Upcoming EventsStay connected to us! Join our real estate investor community LIVE: https://jwbrealestatecapital.com/nyai/Schedule a Turnkey strategy call: https://jwbrealestatecapital.com/turnkey/ *Get social with us:*Subscribe to our channel  @notyouraverageinvestor  Subscribe to  @JWBRealEstateCompanies  

The average home price in Canada has officially dropped 18% since the 2022 peak—but that's only half the story.In this week's episode, we unpack April 2025's national real estate data, and explore a far more revealing trend: What prices looked like 5 years ago versus today. Because while home values are down nearly 20% from peak levels, they're still up 31% over 5 years.We also take a closer look at the man now in charge of Canadian housing—former Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, newly appointed as Canada's Housing Minister. His stance? Home prices don't need to go down—instead, he's promising more supply and more affordability. But how do you make homes more affordable without lowering their price?It's a nearly impossible challenge—and we'll explain why it may never happen, especially when the majority of voters, politicians, and Canada's wealthiest citizens are all homeowners with a vested interest in protecting property values. Trudeau said it last year, and Robertson is echoing the sentiment again today: “Housing needs to retain its value.”We'll show you a possible model for government-built housing at cost—no developer profit, reduced DCCs, and resell restrictions to inflation-only increases—but question if that kind of execution is realistic in today's bureaucratic system.Meanwhile, the labour market is softening. Canada's unemployment rate climbed to 6.9%, the highest in 8 years outside of COVID. BC saw a slight increase to 6.2%, even as job creation remained steady. Wage growth continues, but a weakening economy and global trade volatility (especially with the US tariffs) may push the Bank of Canada toward another rate cut.The presale market continues to unravel. Boffo Developments just cancelled their 1,200-unit Burnaby project “Bassano” after selling only 44 of the first 318 units in 6 months. They've returned deposits and hit pause—indefinitely. Even Vancouver's largest presale marketing firm, Rennie, has laid off 25% of staff, with insiders predicting the market won't stabilize for at least two more years.On the rental side, Toronto saw its first uptick in rents in over a year, with 1-bed unfurnished units rising $22 to $2,148/month in May. But that's still well below last year's levels. Alberta rents are sliding too, with Calgary down 7% and Edmonton down 6% in the past 6 months.Lastly, let's talk about the Renewal Cliff Myth. The Bank of Canada's latest Financial Stability Report shows that rising mortgage payments won't be nearly as painful as expected. Thanks to moderating rate expectations, payment increases on renewal will be 4–5 points lower than forecast—which means a much softer landing for borrowers than many feared.So, are we at the bottom of the market? The CREA's national data shows home sales in April were virtually flat month-over-month, suggesting the 2025 sales slump may be stabilizing. But prices in BC and Ontario—Canada's two biggest markets—continue to drag the national average down. And until there's a true shift in supply, policy, or buyer confidence, expect more of the same in the months ahead.Drop your thoughts in the comments—Is this the bottom? Will the new Housing Minister make a difference? Or is Canada's real estate market in for more pain ahead? _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

A groundbreaking new study from the University of Cincinnati reveals that police funding can significantly impact home prices—but the effect depends on the income level of the community. In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down economist David Brasington's findings, which show that increasing police budgets raises home values by 13% in low-income areas, while decreasing them by at least 14% in high-income neighborhoods. Tune in to learn why these opposing trends had been hidden in previous research, and what this means for investors, homeowners, and policymakers navigating the evolving landscape of public safety and property values.

Home sellers are stuck in the past—and buyers aren't having it. In today's episode, we break down the growing gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are actually paying, with the typical home now listed 9% higher than its final sale price. We'll explain why the disconnect is widening, where the biggest gaps are happening, and what it means for negotiations in today's market. Plus, we'll cover the Trump administration's new push to open up federal land for housing development—a move that could reshape inventory in key western states but faces major infrastructure and environmental hurdles.

Send us a textThe landscape of real estate is shifting beneath our feet. In this market update, we uncover the surprising trend of falling home prices across 11 major metropolitan areas—the largest drop we've seen in nearly two years. Cities like San Antonio, Oakland, and Jacksonville are feeling the squeeze most acutely, while national prices continue to rise, albeit at their slowest pace since last summer.Drawing from my own investing experience, I share the eye-opening reality of today's market: a $299,000 property in St. Petersburg received just two showings in three weeks before finally going under contract at $288,000. This isn't happening in luxury markets—this is the supposedly affordable range where most Americans shop. The perfect storm of high mortgage rates (now averaging 6.83%), economic uncertainty, stock market volatility, and tariff concerns has created a climate where "buyers are scarce and afraid."Despite inventory climbing by nearly 10% compared to last year, buyer urgency has evaporated. As a seasoned real estate investor, I'm adapting my strategy accordingly—pressing pause on flipping properties while doubling down on buy-and-hold multifamily investments for long-term growth.
