This Flashback Friday is from episode 312 published last April 10, 2013. Professor Richard Epstein, pioneering Libertarian legal scholar, joins Jason Hartman to explain how income inequality is good for society, but is very dependent on the methods used to produce the best outcome. The current methods our government are attempting to use are causing job losses, it blocks gains in trade, the need for further public assistance increases, which in turn increases taxes, “yet another implicit drain on voluntary transactions,” Richard illustrates. He provides examples to demonstrate the consequences of equality by egalitarian efforts of our government versus voluntary redistribution.  Listen for more details at:  www.JasonHartman.com.    Richard A. Epstein is the inaugural Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law. He has authored several books, including Design for Liberty: Private Property, Public Administration and the Rule of Law, The Case Against the Employee Free Choice Act, Supreme Neglect: How to Revive the Constitutional Protection of Property Rights, and many more. Richard has written numerous articles on a wide range of legal and interdisciplinary subjects.

Investors made their way back into the housing market in the first three months of this year, according to a new report by Corelogic, at the same time the proportion of first home buyers has dropped slightly. CoreLogic chief property economist Kelvin Davidson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Jason announced changes to the podcast schedule and discussed economic trends, particularly in the housing market. He emphasized the importance of adapting to market realities and taking calculated risks in real estate investment. He also covered various aspects of the current economic landscape, including inflation's impact on housing, mortgage market stability, and the potential for future market shifts. Despite persistent interest rates and prices, some homebuyers are entering the market due to life events, realizing they "can't pause their life." This signals buyer capitulation and acceptance of current market realities. While sales volume initially dropped, it has rebounded as people adjust expectations. Younger buyers are increasingly looking at more affordable metros. Low loan-to-value ratios (47% average) provide a significant equity cushion, mitigating risks of a housing crash. Rising construction costs and potential labor shortages due to immigration policies may further impact housing prices. Investing in real estate remains a historically proven and tax-advantaged strategy amidst a long-term housing shortage.

The Australian government and opposition party have both announced policies to address the country's housing crisis, with young people in particular priced out of the market. Labor say they want to drop deposits for mortgages to buy a home to five per cent, while the Coalition want to make mortgage repayments tax deductable. In an early release episode, Brendan Coates, who is the Grattan Institute's housing and economic security program director, talks through these policies and which could boost housing supply and home ownership.Subscribe to The Age & SMH: https://subscribe.smh.com.au/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Josh Brockman, Atlanta division manager with Fischer Homes, joins host Carol Morgan on this week's Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio episode. In this podcast episode, Brockman discusses Fischer Homes' flexible layouts and the coveted Paxton floorplan. Flexible home plans are important because they can meet a variety of needs, save money, and increase resale value. Homebuyers today increasingly seek flexible floor plans that can evolve with their needs. Flexibility in a home's layout offers both practical benefits and emotional appeal. It means a house isn't just a static set of rooms, but a living space that can be reconfigured as life changes. Recent trends show that buyers want homes which accommodate everything from remote work to multi-generational living. Choose Your Layout Fischer Homes specializes in what Brockman calls “to-be-built homes,” which means that it delivers homes with various options in comparison to market homes. Whether it's transforming a study into a guest suite or adding on a pantry, there are plenty of opportunities for home shoppers. Brockman said, “It also allows our customers to control their price, as opposed to us building a speculative home and always just attaching that price to it, so our buyers can decide what's most important to them in the home that aligns with whatever their financial situation is.” Along with flexible layouts, Fischer Homes also offers designer home collections, each featuring eight to 10 floor plans. Brockman highlights that most plans are spacious, typically featuring three to six bedrooms and ranging in size from 1,500 to 3,000 square feet. The builder offers potential buyers luxurious cabinets, countertops and flooring while introducing add-on options such as generational suites and basements to extend the living space. The Paxton Plan Seeking an expansive plan at an affordable price? The Paxton is a popular choice among homebuyers, known for its five-level split style with four to six bedrooms and up to five bathrooms, spanning 4,069 to 4,204 square feet. As you step into the Paxton, a cozy dining room awaits. Down the hall, explore an open-concept layout that creates seamless transitions between the kitchen and family room. A two-story fireplace accentuates the plan's unique, multi-level design. Take the stairs down to unwind and relax in the recreation room, or venture upward to discover three bedrooms, a full bath and a spacious loft area. The owner's suite features its own staircase located on the upper level. Accommodating Move-Up and Active Adult Buyers Utilizing open-concept floor plans and large gathering spaces, Fischer Homes is highly successful in designing homes that meet the needs of move-up buyers. Brockman says that the openness of its floorplans allows parents to keep an eye on their children while also encouraging togetherness. Brockman said, “We're also seeing a demand for lofts and rec rooms, which a lot of those come included in our floor plans today, to accomplish the kids having a place to go to watch movies or be with their friends while also having a separate area for the parents or the folks wanting to enjoy free time for themselves too.” Active adult homebuyers can find comfortable living at Fischer Homes' new 55+-only communities in Dallas – Laurel Farms and Easton Park. The communities offer low-maintenance living, coupled with larger floor plans that make staying active easy for residents. Available at Cresswind Georgia at Twin Lakes, the Pearson plan offers a sizeable generational suite with a separate entrance, private bathroom and small kitchen. Brockman said, “If it's a grandparent that has moved into the home or is just staying there for an extended time to help out with the kids, they can kind of come and go as they please in the home.” Listen to the full episode to find out more about Fischer Homes, or visit https://www.fischerhomes.com/.
