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.

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.

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.

Should you invest in gold for the long term? Gold has been a great asset to hold over the last year, but I remain a skeptic of investing in gold long term. I personally don't own any gold nor would I recommend buying gold at this point in time. While the recent gains in the price of gold look attractive, given the fact it is up over 20% so far this year in a difficult market, the long-term results aren't enticing. There are periods of time where gold has been a strong performer, but trying to guess those periods is extremely difficult. If we look at January 1980 gold reached $850 per ounce, but the important number here is that the inflation adjusted price was $3,486 per ounce. This means it was not until recently when gold hit $3,500 per ounce, we see an all-time high on an inflation adjusted basis and essentially you made no real gain for over 45 years. At the end of the day gold is just a piece of metal worth only what the next person will pay for it. It has no earnings, no interest, no rents. This makes it extremely difficult to value and given the added expenses for trading and holding gold, it just does not make sense to me. I will continue to invest in good strong businesses at fair prices as I believe that is the best strategy for long term wealth creation. Why is the government supporting universities with large endowments? I've never really thought about this before. I have known that some big universities have multibillion dollar endowment funds, but I did not realize that 658 institutions have approximately $874 billion, which is nearly $1trillion in endowment funds. When I dug a little bit deeper, I discovered that in addition to these universities receiving money from the federal government via grants, some pay little or no income tax and also get a waiver on property taxes. If you're starting to get a little bit irritated at this point because your hard-working dollars are going to universities like Harvard that has a $53 billion endowment or Yale with a $41 billion endowment, you might be like me and think it's time that things change. The cost of tuition at Harvard is $57,000 per year and the President makes about $1.3 million a year. The president of San Diego State University has a salary of $531,000 and the cost for one year of tuition is about $8700. I'm sure the students at Harvard do receive a more prestigious education than at San Diego State University, but is it 6 1/2 times better? Do the students that graduate from Harvard make a salary that's 600% more than a graduate from San Diego State University? I don't think so. I wondered where money from these endowments goes and basically 48.1% of endowment distributions go to fund student financial aid, 17.7% goes to academic programs and research, 10.8% is used for endowment faculty positions and nearly 17% of the endowment funds are used for other purposes. Wouldn't it be nice to know what those purposes are? I think we need to take a hard look at what universities have in their endowment funds, their tax benefits and grants, and let's have more students here in the United States benefit from those billions of dollars to get a good education as opposed to the fat cats in the Ivy League towers of the universities. One other point I found interesting was the investing philosophy for these endowment funds. The goal is to earn around 8% per year and pay out 4.5% to 5% to fund those various expenses. This should then allow the endowment fund to continue growing. A big problem is many have not been able to achieve that goal with only 25% of 152 schools that were surveyed being able to meet the 8% return over the last 10 years. The other concern is if they can't cut expenses if there is a lack of grants, many endowments are not liquid. Harvard for example had 39% in private equity, 32% in hedge funds, 5% in real estate, 3% in real assets, and just 3% in cash. With all this said I really believe this system should be reviewed to better the entire country, rather than just the Ivy League system. Could the trade wars hurt home prices? We are starting to see some cracks in the housing market, such as the delinquency rate on FHA mortgages, which cater to the high-risk borrowers who can't qualify for a conventional mortgage because they either have a small down payment or weak credit. The delinquency rate for FHA currently stands at 11% according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, it has not been at this level for 12 years. Unfortunately, and we warned against it, but many people have stretched themselves too far financially to get into a home over the last few years. Because it's only been two or three years since they bought their home, after fees and commissions they may not have much if any equity built up in that home. Another area of weakness that is being seen is with the homebuilders who have really increased their incentives because they have more completed but unsold homes. The builders are getting a little bit worried because they have not seen this many homes sitting on their lots with no buyers since 2009. The average incentives for homebuilders is usually around 5% of the total value of the home, but we are starting to see some incentives around 13% from big builders like Lennar. The volatility of the 10-year treasury, which mortgages generally trade off of, has not been helpful because it has had a wide trading range lately. This then makes it difficult for homebuyers to lock in a good rate. At this point in time, I think I would be waiting to buy a home until maybe late summer. I think there should be some good deals at that point in time as the tariff war should continue to progress and we should have a clearer picture of the economy by that time. Financial Planning: Why converting 100% of pretax is bad Roth conversions can be a powerful tax planning tool, but like any tool, using it the wrong way can do more harm than good. One of the most common mistakes we see is the idea that you should convert all of your pre-tax retirement savings, like a traditional IRA or 401(k), to a Roth account. Everyone loves the idea of a tax-free retirement. When you convert money from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you're moving it from a pre-tax account to a tax-free account, but there's a price, the converted amount is considered income and you must pay ordinary income tax in the year of the conversion. Once converted funds grow tax-free. The best way to think about money in a pre-tax account is that it is deferred income. It will be taxed, it's just a matter of when. When you make contributions to a pre-tax account, you are not receiving a tax deduction, you are deferring income to a future year. When performing a Roth conversion, you are voluntarily deciding to pay tax on that income, even though you don't have to yet. This only makes sense if you are able to convert at a lower tax rate than you would otherwise be subject to if you did not convert. This most commonly happens between the beginning of retirement, typically in your 60's, and the beginning of your required distributions at age 75. During that period taxable income is generally lower which means conversions may be done at a lower tax rate than when required distributions begin at 75. Required distributions can be a problem because if you have too much in pre-tax accounts, your required taxable distributions may push you into a higher tax bracket and trigger IRMAA. Roth conversions help this by shifting funds from pre-tax to tax-free, therefore reducing the level of taxable distributions beginning at 75. However there is an efficient amount that should be converted for every person. Converting 100% of pre-tax funds means you will likely be in a lower tax bracket after the conversions, and will potentially not have any tax liability at all. This doesn't sound bad, but it means you likely paid too much in tax to convert the funds in the first place. Again, money in a pre-tax account is deferred income that will be taxed. The goal is to have that income taxed at the lowest rate possible. If you convert too aggressively you may be settling for a higher tax rate on the money coming out and not receive enough tax-free income from the Roth to justify it. Instead, structuring withdrawals and conversions to keep your taxable income consistently low all through retirement will result in a higher level of after-tax income.

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. The market demands this pivot, and those who recognize and respond to these shifts will find opportunities even in challenging conditions.Ready to transform your approach to wealth building?

The housing market is shifting, and we've got the latest data to break it all down. Home prices are still rising—but at the slowest pace in months, and in some cities, they're starting to fall. We'll cover where prices are dropping the most (hint: Florida and Texas are leading the way), why more homes are sitting on the market, and what Zillow's 2025 forecast means for buyers, sellers, and renters. Plus, with mortgage rates still high, will the housing market stay sluggish or is a rebound coming? Let's dive into the numbers and what they mean for the future of real estate.

More homes are up for sale this year, but home prices remain very high throughout Nevada. The median price of a home now is about $485,000, an all-time high.
The trends are clear, in many western countries around the world, home prices have been rising, and in recent years rising fast. The underlying drivers are the freeing up of mortgage markets, and lower interest rates, allowing more people to borrow more, which is why debt has been rising too. As you know I have … Continue reading "Are Investors The Reason Home Prices Are Rising Into Unaffordability?"
The housing market is splitting into two distinct realities. In some regions, buyers are finally gaining leverage, securing price cuts, and seeing inventory levels rise above pre-pandemic norms. In others, housing supply remains critically low, keeping prices high and competition fierce. Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!

Only two months into 2025, Zillow has significantly changed its original housing market prediction. With rising inventory, suppressed buyer demand from high mortgage rates, and sluggish market sentiment, Zillow's home price forecast has been downgraded. Why the change, and what data is leading Zillow to project little or no home price growth this year? Orphe Divounguy, Senior Economist at Zillow, is on to share. With a downgraded forecast, the question becomes: is the housing market leveling off, or could we be in store for home price dips? How will rent prices be affected with the massive wave of multifamily construction finally starting to taper off? With less supply coming online, will these units get absorbed, resulting in higher rents for single-family homes? Have we finally reached the supply-demand equilibrium, putting the housing market on pause? What's the one thing that could reignite buyer demand and lead to home price appreciation? Or, is this the new normal, and with little interest rate relief in sight, are we headed for years of a stagnant housing market? We're getting Orphe's expert take! In This Episode We Cover Zillow's new February 2025 housing market forecast (and the sizable home price forecast downgrade) Why home prices are stagnating, and the one crucial factor causing this Mortgage rate predictions and whether we'll see some real rate relief this year Single-family and multifamily rent price predictions for 2025 (which will see the most growth?)

There's one key housing market factor that leads to home price growth. It doesn't have to do with interest rates, property taxes, or weather. This single metric is the strongest predictor of your home price rising, staying stagnant, or falling. If you know where this metric is peaking, you can follow a data-driven trail to housing markets that will soon have higher home prices and get in before the masses. What's the secret metric we're talking about? Well, it's not so much of a secret. This metric is easy to find online and can help you pinpoint markets with the highest potential for price growth. So, if it's so easy to find, why isn't every real estate investor using it? Mainly because most investors don't know how important this metric is. But today, we're showing you exactly how to track where home prices could rise, how to pinpoint the neighborhoods within your market that could experience high price growth, and why this easily available predictive metric may change as the economy shifts. In This Episode We Cover The number one way of predicting whether home prices will grow in an area How this metric strongly influences migration and brings more demand to cities Where to find this data for free and the easy way to predict home price growth Trends to start watching now that could foretell which cities will rise (and shrink) How to find the fast-growing (and stable) neighborhoods to invest in within your city And So Much More!
