Podcasts about housing market

There's a growing belief that Wall Street and institutional buyers are the main reason housing feels unaffordable — and that banning them from buying homes would fix the problem. In this episode, David and Ryan sit down with Or Agassi to zoom out and look at what's really happening in the housing market. We talk about institutional investors, REITs, build-to-rent, housing supply, and why the real issue is more complex than most headlines make it sound. KEY TALKING POINTS:0:00 - The 5-Step Private Money Method0:31 - Step 1: Make Your List2:36 - Step 2: Start The Discussion6:16 - Step 3: Use The 16-Min Audio8:15 - Step 4: Set The Q&A Appointment11:37 - Step 5: Get Verbal Pledge15:14 - Outro LINKS:LinkedIn: Or Agassihttps://www.instagram.com/privatemoneyauthority/ Website: Kaihttps://kai.pro/ Instagram: David Leckohttps://www.instagram.com/dlecko Website: DealMachinehttps://www.dealmachine.com/pod Instagram: Ryan Haywoodhttps://www.instagram.com/heritage_home_investments Website: Heritage Home Investmentshttps://www.heritagehomeinvestments.com/

Many Americans are wondering whether the housing market has finally begun turning a corner—or if uncertainty is still here to stay. After years of elevated mortgage rates, stubbornly low inventory, and affordability concerns, the question feels more relevant than ever.Today, mortgage expert Dale Vermillion, author of Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home, joined the show to weigh in on what the 2026 housing landscape may look like and how today's buyers and sellers can navigate it with wisdom.A More “Normal” Market ReturnsAccording to Vermillion, the extreme swings of recent years may finally be behind us.“It isn't the market of 2020–2021 when rates were in the twos, threes, and fours,” Vermillion explains. “But it's also certainly not 2008. This is a very normal market.”He noted that although many think of today's mortgage rates as high, they are actually below the 30-year average. Inventory is rising, sales are stabilizing, and government attention on housing has increased. Together, these factors point toward a gradual shift into a buyer's market—a welcome change for those who've spent the last few years watching listings disappear before they could schedule a tour.A common frustration remains: if rates have risen, why haven't prices fallen faster?The answer is complex. While price increases largely flattened this year (+0.7%), Vermillion notes that the market remains regional rather than national. Certain areas have softened, but not enough to drive a nationwide price reset.A major reason: the “lock-in effect.” Millions of homeowners refinanced below 3% in 2020–21 and weren't willing to trade those rates for a higher one. But as Vermillion observes, that dynamic is fading. For the first time in years, more loans now exist above 6% than below 3%, allowing inventory to loosen.Why Fed Rate Cuts Don't Equal Lower Mortgage RatesEven though the Federal Reserve has been cutting rates, mortgage rates haven't always followed. That's because mortgage rates are tied more closely to the bond market, inflation data, and job reports—not directly to the Fed's benchmark rate.Another overlooked factor: mortgage-backed securities (MBS). When the government increases MBS purchases, mortgage rates often decline more reliably than when the Fed cuts consumer rates.The emotional side of the housing market can't be ignored. The bidding wars of 2020–21 left many would-be buyers discouraged. But Vermillion believes attitudes are shifting:“Inventory is up from roughly 450,000 units nationally early last year to over a million now. So from a buyer standpoint, it's time to be encouraged again.”With more sellers re-entering the market, buyers have choice again—and choice increases leverage.Vermillion stressed that affordability challenges today are driven as much by property taxes and insurance costs as by mortgage rates. Homeowners in several states have seen insurance premiums and assessments climb dramatically—sometimes outpacing wage growth.For aspiring first-time buyers, budgeting remains the first step. Vermillion's advice: determine what you can afford before visiting a lender, rather than letting a lender tell you what qualifies on paper.For First-Time Buyers: Get Pre-Approved, Not Pre-QualifiedA true pre-approval involves:A full applicationCredit checkIncome verificationDocumentation of debts and assetsThis makes offers more competitive and prevents buyers from shopping at unrealistic price points.During the pandemic boom, paying $20,000–$50,000 above asking price became the norm in many markets. Vermillion notes that this period has largely ended:“Homes today are selling around 94–97% of the listing price in most areas. We're not seeing bidding wars like before.”For buyers, that's stabilizing. For sellers, it simply resets expectations toward reality.Move-Up Buyers: Timing May Be Better Than You ThinkFor homeowners considering a move—whether for space, schools, or lifestyle—Vermillion's advice mirrors that given to first-time buyers: set a realistic budget and lean on wise counsel.Sellers should also invest in preparing their homes to show well, as presentation still drives both speed and price.Vermillion believes 2026 may be a strategic window:“I think this is the year to do it. Rates may come down a little more, but not dramatically. Buyers and sellers who plan well and manage expectations can succeed in this environment.”From a stewardship standpoint, the takeaway is simple: markets change, rates fluctuate, and headlines swing. But Christians are invited to place their confidence not in economic cycles but in the Lord, “who establishes our steps” (Proverbs 16:9).A wise plan, a realistic budget, and sound counsel can go a long way—especially in a year where the housing market is finally beginning to level out.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm looking for a trustworthy and affordable tax preparation service. Are there any organizations I should avoid? And are there any Christian-based or low-cost options—especially for seniors?I'm turning 65 soon, and I'm debt-free.

Despite the drumbeat of crash talk, the numbers tell a more nuanced story. Today's housing market isn't in freefall; it's recalibrating. Cara Lavender, senior research manager at John Burns Research and Consulting, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to discuss where the housing market stands today and what builders and developers should expect as 2026 progresses. A Housing Market in Recalibration, Not Crisis Despite ongoing headlines predicting a housing crash, recent data tells a very different story. The current market environment is highly segmented, with affordability continuing to shape outcomes. First-time buyers remain constrained, while move-up and luxury segments are seeing more consistent activity. Rising inventory and softening prices reflect a recalibration, not systemic weakness. “We're still in a slow market, but we're seeing stabilization in a lot of areas,” Lavender said. “In no sense of the word are we seeing that we're on the verge of a “crash” when we look at all the data.” John Burns Research and Consulting forecasts average mortgage rates at around 6.6%, driven by normalization in the spread between the 10-year Treasury and the 30-year mortgage rate. While builders have been able to offset higher rates through aggressive buydowns, easing rates should provide more upside on the resale side, where demand has been more sensitive to borrowing costs. Nationally, the housing market remains structurally undersupplied by approximately 1.1 million homes, even as near-term supply has loosened across both new and resale markets. In metro Atlanta, resale supply currently sits around 4.3 months, a range traditionally considered healthy. How Affordability Is Shaping Buyer Behavior Affordability is a key factor in current market conditions, particularly as taxes and insurance continue to add pressure to monthly payments. Entry-level buyers remain highly payment-sensitive, while move-up buyers are increasingly returning to the market. “This is not a build-it-and-they-will-come market anymore,” she said. “Success is going to come from tightly refined offerings and really understanding who the buyer is in your market.” As resale sellers adjust pricing expectations, many move-up buyers—often sitting on significant equity—are finally able to make their next move. Buyers are making trade-offs, prioritizing efficiency and functionality over excess space, mirroring builders' efforts to value-engineer floor plans and control costs. Why Move-In-Ready Homes Are Winning Buyer preference for move-in-ready homes remains strong. According to John Burns’ research surveys, nearly 40% of resale listings require significant repairs or updates. “People don't want to put a new roof on. They don't want to redo flooring or kitchens,” Lavender said. “If sellers aren't willing to bring the price down, they're going to have to offer repairs or credits.” Homes that are well-located, competitively priced and turnkey continue to attract strong demand, while properties requiring work face longer marketing times and tougher negotiations. Build-to-Rent & the Changing Path to Homeownership As affordability challenges continue to delay first-time homeownership, build-to-rent (BTR) communities are playing an increasingly important role in the Atlanta housing market. These communities provide a longer-term rental solution for households that want the benefits of single-family living but are not yet ready or able to buy. Build-to-rent offers access to detached homes, private outdoor space and community amenities at a more attainable monthly cost, effectively bridging the gap between traditional apartments and homeownership. A “Boring” 2026 Outlook Looking ahead, John Burns Research and Consulting forecasts a gradual recovery in 2026, following several years of volatility across both new home and resale markets. While production levels and pricing are still expected to soften modestly in the near term, those declines are projected to be less severe than what the industry experienced throughout 2025. Lavender said, “Our 2026 forecast is kind of boring—and that's a good thing.” Tune in to the full episode to hear data-driven insights on today's housing market, affordability trends and what builders and developers can expect in 2026.

Melissa Cohn thinks buyers have backed off a little as mortgage rates rose again, and there's a lot of uncertainty about their path forward. It's “pretty clear” the Fed won't cut rates this week, and Melissa says the tone of Powell's speech is what to watch. There's a lot of pent-up demand in the housing market that could be unleashed with favorable policies and interest rates below 5.5%. However, affordability remains a complex and difficult concern.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

It's a bill—mortgage interest, property taxes, maintenance, and upkeep. A place to live, raise kids, and make memories—not a wealth plan.If your wealth is tied up in your house, that's risky. Build wealth outside your home. And no—Trump can't simply crash the real estate market.

Are UK house prices really taking off — or is something else at play? On this week’s personal finance edition of Merryn Talks Money, Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek dig into the latest eye-catching figures and reveal why the “surge” may not be quite what it seems. From the powerful role of location in driving valuations to why houses are leaving flats behind as investments, the conversation cuts through the headlines to what’s really happening in the property market.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our co-heads of Securitized Products Jay Bacow and James Egan explain why recent U.S. government measures won't change much the outlook for mortgage rates, home prices and sales this year.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Jay Bacow: Jim Egan, I see you sitting across from me wearing a quarter zip. As old things become new again, my teenager would think that is trendy. James Egan: I think this is one of, if not the first, times in my life that a teenager has thought I was trendy, including back when I was a teenager. Jay Bacow: Well, as captain of the chess team in high school, I was never trendy. But Jim… Welcome to Thoughts on the Market. I'm Jay Bacow, co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley. James Egan: And I'm Jim Egan, the other co-head of Securitized Products Research at Morgan Stanley. Today, we're here to talk about some of the programs that are being announced and their implications for the mortgage and U.S. housing markets. It's Tuesday, January 20th at 10am in New York. Now, Jay, there have been a lot of announcements from this administration. Some of them focused on affordability, some of them focused on the mortgage market, some of them focused on the housing market. But I think one of them that had the biggest impact, at least in terms of trading sessions immediately following, was a $200 billion buy program from the GSEs. Can you talk to us a little bit about that program? Jay Bacow: Sure. As you mentioned, President Trump announced that there would be a $200 billion purchase of mortgages, which later was confirmed by FHFA director Bill Pulte, to be purchased by Fannie and Freddie. Now, we would highlight putting this $200 billion number in context. The market was probably expecting the GSEs to buy about a hundred billion dollars of mortgages this year. So, this is maybe an incremental a hundred billion dollars more. The mortgage market round numbers is a $10 trillion market, so in the scope of the size of the market, it's not huge. However, we're only forecasting about [$]175 billion of growth in the mortgage market this year, so this is the GSEs buying more than net issuance. It's also similar in size to the Fed balance sheet runoff, which is something that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant mentioned in his comments last week. And so, the initial impact of this announcement was reasonably meaningful. Mortgage spreads tightened about 15 basis points and headline mortgage rates rallied to below 6 precent for the first time since 2022 on some mortgage measures. James Egan: Alright, so we had a 15 basis point rally almost immediately upon announcement of this program. That took us, I believe, through your bull case for agency mortgages in our 2026 outlook. So, what's next here? Jay Bacow: Well, we have a lot of questions about what is next. There's a lot of things that we're still waiting information on. But we think the initial move has sort of been fully priced in. We don't know the pace of the buying. We don't know if the purchases are going to be outright – like the Fed's purchase programs were. Or purchased and hedging the duration – like historically, the GSEs portfolios have been managed. We don't know how the $200 billion of mortgages will be funded. The way we're kind of thinking about this is if the program is just – and this is a podcast, not a video cast but I'm putting air quotes around just – $200 billion, it is probably priced in and then maybe and then some. However, if the purchases are front loaded or the purchases are increased, or maybe this purchase program indicates possible changes to the composition of the Fed's balance sheet, then there could be further moves in spreads and in mortgage rates.But Jim, what does this mean to the mortgage market writ large? James Egan: Right. So, when we think about what you're talking about, a 15 basis point move in mortgage rates, and we take that into the housing market, the first order implication is on affordability. And this is a move in the right direction, but it is small from a magnitude perspective. You mentioned mortgage rates getting below 6 percent for the first time since 2022. When we think about this in the context of our expectations for 2026, we already had the mortgage rate getting to about 5.75 in the back half of this year. This would take that forecast down to about 5.6 percent. That has a very modest upward implication for our purchase volume forecast, but I want to emphasize the modest piece. We're talking about [$]4.23 million was our original existing home sales forecast. This could take it to [$] 4.25 [million], maybe as high as [$]4.3 [million] with some media effect layered in. But any growth in demand, when we think about the home price side of the equation, we think we'll be met with additional listings. So, it really doesn't change our home price forecast for 2026, which was plus 2 percent. So very modest, slightly upward risk to some of our forecasts. And as we've been saying, when we think about U.S. housing in 2026, the risk to our modest growth forecasts, 3 percent growth in sales, 2 percent growth in home prices. The risk has always been to the upside. That could be because demand responds more to a 5 percent handle in mortgage rates than we're expecting. Or because you get more and more of these programs from the administration. So, on that note, Jay, what else do we think can be done here? Jay Bacow: I mean, there are a lot of potential things that could be done, which could be helpful on the margin or not, depending on how far they are willing to think about the possibilities. Some of the easier changes to make would be changes to the loan level pricing adjustments and the guaranteed fees, and mortgage insurance premiums, which would lower the cost in the roughly 10 to 15 basis points. There are some other changes that could be put through which we think from a legal side which would be much more difficult to make retroactive. That would be either allowing you to take your mortgage with you to the next house, which is what we call portability. Or allowing you to transfer your mortgage to the new home buyer, which is what we call assumability. We think it's extremely difficult to make that retroactive, but that could have some larger impacts, if that were to go through. Now, Jim, speaking of other impacts, mortgages spreads have tightened 15 basis points. What does that do to some of the other sectors that you cover? James Egan: Right. We do think there is a portfolio channel effect here that could be good for risk assets broader than just the agency mortgage space, even though that is clearly the primary impact of that $200 billion buying program. Securitized credit, we think is one of the clear beneficiaries of that tightening, given the relationships it has to agency mortgages. The non-QM mortgage market in particular – one that we're looking at for positive tailwinds as a result of this. Jay Bacow: All right, so we got a big announcement. We got a pretty quick market move after that, and now we're waiting to see what the next steps are. Likely going to have a marginal impact on housing activity, but we got to keep our ears and our eyes open to see what else might come. Jim, always great talking to you.

Zillow released its new 2026 housing market predictions and…I'm not sure I agree with them. From home price to mortgage rate predictions, “kidfluence” steering decisions, and the rise of the lifestyle renter, I'm going through all 10 of Zillow's predictions and sharing which I agree with, which I'm confused by, and which made me laugh. Even with a few very interesting predictions, I do think some core forecasts will actually play out in 2026. When's the last time you asked your kid, “Hey buddy, where do YOU want to live?” and rented based on their answer? Well, Zillow believes that your toddler does have a serious influence on your next home. But that's not all. In 2026, renting could become cool again as more “lifestyle renters” plan NOT to buy, even if mortgage rates drop. This could be a good sign for investors looking to keep long-term tenants, but you'll need the right type of property. We'll also touch on Zillow's home price prediction (and why they're more positive than Dave), the floor for mortgage rates in 2026 (will we break into the 5s?), and why buying a new-build could get even better. In This Episode We Cover Zillow's 2026 housing market predictions (prices, rates, rents, and more!) Why housing demand could bounce back (but by how much?) The “kidfluence” and why your seven-year-old really calls the shots when house hunting  One prediction that Dave audibly started laughing at (does anyone believe this?) The rise of “lifestyle” renters and a good trend for real estate investors  Will AI find your next home? Why Zillow is betting on a breakthrough  And So Much More!

Watch 'The Venezuela Operation' here: https://ept.ms/49I2LA3The United States is facing a housing crisis, and part of this ties into large investors buying up single family homes. President Donald Trump just said this trend is now coming to an end, and he announced that he is now working to stop investment firms from buying more single-family homes.In other news, American now has a new food pyramid, with meat at the top, and with a focus on “real food.”We'll discuss these topics and others, in this episode of Crossroads.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and guests, and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

Housing expert Rick Sharga joins Kathy Fettke to share a data-driven 2026 housing market outlook based on the latest investor sentiment survey. They break down where home prices, mortgage rates, and investor activity may be headed, why more investors are shifting from fix-and-flips to rentals, and whether fears of a housing crash are supported by the data. A realistic, no-hype look at what real estate investors should expect in 2026.

2026 is finally here! And if you can still read this sentence without seeing double, you've made it!  But this year, things are going to be a little… different. We usually talk about the best places or strategies for buying rentals, but we're going on a bit of a detour to start the year by discussing our real estate resolutions, all of which will actively help us retire early. Want to retire with rentals, too? This is the episode for you, and we're sharing the strategies we're using in 2026 to get there.  Kathy Fettke shares a new way she's optimizing her real estate portfolio, with the goal to increase cash flow by 10% on her current portfolio (not buying more rentals!). Henry takes an opposite approach to most investors, opting not to scale his portfolio and instead doing something much safer. Dave details his “End Game”—the ultimate real estate portfolio for early retirement.  You can copy these experts' strategies in 2026 to retire with rentals, too! In This Episode We Cover How to use AI to optimize your portfolio and find the cash flow blind spots where you're losing potential profits  Stop scaling?

The housing market is showing modest improvement, with pending home sales rising over 3% in November and prices growing just 1.2% year over year. Rising inventory and falling mortgage rates mean affordability is improving, though rates likely need to dip below 6% for demand to really pick up.

The housing market correction is well underway, but the story looks very different depending on where you invest. Some markets are cooling gently, others are slipping faster, and a few affordability outliers are still holding up. With new Zillow data in hand, Dave breaks down the major regional patterns, why price growth is slowing almost everywhere, and what today's shifts actually mean for investors buying at the end of 2025 and into 2026. He also looks at markets that may be “oversold” despite strong fundamentals, the places where buyers suddenly have serious leverage, and how rents are diverging sharply from home prices in some metros. We'll even take a look at the data to see where corrections may continue. So, where should you buy? If you want killer deals, are these “oversold” markets prime places for rental property investing, or could they fall even further?   In This Episode We Cover Zillow's newest list of best and worst housing markets of 2026  Where buyers have strong leverage and where demand still holds Markets that have strong fundamentals but major concerns from buyers  What rising or falling rents actually signal for investors Will hot, affordable markets keep their flame burning or freeze like the rest of the US?  And So Much More!

This could be the most encouraging sign for the housing market in years. It's the final month of 2025, and the housing market has flipped from this time last year. Real prices are down, mortgage rates are near a percent lower, inventory is stabilizing, and affordability…it's actually improving. But hints at a wave of underwater mortgages are making people nervous. With the number rising, is this the “distress” signal many have been waiting for? Welcome to our last housing market update of 2025. We're getting into it all: home price, mortgage rate, and inventory updates, plus a new seller trend that is causing serious confusion, and could be the final nail in the “housing market crash” coffin. With sellers doing what nobody expects, next year could get interesting. More homeowners are falling “underwater” on their mortgages. Is this a 2008 repeat or just a blip on the real estate radar? Some economists are worried about rising delinquencies, but a high-level view of the data could point to an entirely different conclusion.
