Homeownership has been baked into the American Dream for nearly a century. Politicians, parents, and banks all tell you the same thing: “Buy a house as soon as you can. It's your biggest asset.” But as a real estate guy who actually understands how wealth is created… I'm not convinced it makes sense for everyone—especially early in your career. Let me explain. Say you finally start making some real money—maybe you're a doctor fresh out of residency. The cultural script kicks in immediately: Buy a house. Build equity. Feel responsible. But here's the part most people forget: your primary home is not an asset. As Robert Kiyosaki puts it, if something takes money out of your pocket, it's not an asset—it's a liability. According to Bankrate and the Census Bureau, U.S. homeowners spend around $17,000 per year just to maintain and operate their homes—and that's before you make a single mortgage payment. That's property taxes, insurance, utilities, landscaping, repair bills, HOA fees… the list goes on. If your house is worth $1.5M, even the bare-minimum 1% annual maintenance rule hits you with $15,000 a year just to keep the place from deteriorating. Add insurance, taxes, utilities, and everything else, and you're looking at $30,000–$40,000 per year in unavoidable, non-negotiable carrying costs. And that still doesn't cover the roof that fails, the appliances that die, or the curveballs Mother Nature throws at you. None of that feels like an “asset” to me. Now, to be fair, people don't usually buy homes as investments. They buy them for stability, a place to raise kids, a sense of being “settled.” It's emotional. It's psychological. And it's real. But if you're young—and especially if you haven't hit your first million—it's worth asking yourself a tough question: Is buying a home right now the best financial move… or just the most familiar one? Because historically, U.S. home prices appreciate around 4.3% a year (Case-Shiller). Meanwhile, the S&P 500 averages closer to 10%. And if you’re in real estate investing? A solid multifamily value-add deal often targets 16–20% IRR—plus tax advantages your primary home will never give you. So if you're just getting started, it might make sense to delay that home purchase. Invest first. Build your passive income. Let your assets—not your salary—pay for your lifestyle. Then when you do buy a home, you'll be doing it from a position of strength, not strain. The irony is this: waiting often gets you to the dream home faster because your capital compounds instead of being trapped in drywall, windows, and a backyard you barely have time to enjoy. This Week on Wealth Formula Podcast, I interview expert Dr. Ken Johnson, who digs even deeper into this question—and lays out why homeownership isn't the golden ticket people think it is, especially for high earners early in their wealth-building years.

Earlier this week, Realtor.com released its 2026 housing forecast, and there is some good news. Mortgage rates are expected to fall to 6.3% from an average of 6.6%. The survey also predicts modest increases in sales, prices, and inventory, but also declining rents. After a bruising 2025 that saw the housing market sink to 30-year lows, even this modestly improving forecast is welcomed news, especially as Americans grow increasingly concerned about affordability. Realtor.com's Chief Economist Danielle Hale joins FOX Business' Gerri Willis to break down the numbers and explain what to expect in 2026. Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's talk about a 50% housing market crash and context....
In this episode of the Be Wealthy Podcast, Brett Tanner sits down with real estate investor and mortgage expert Josh Mettle to unpack the real truth about building wealth in today's economic environment.Josh shares his journey from buying single-family rentals with little cash flow, to scaling into large multifamily assets, and ultimately becoming a sophisticated investor who understands inflation, risk, and long-term wealth creation.This powerful conversation dives deep into the realities of today's housing market, what actually creates financial freedom, and why many investors get stuck chasing low-return, high-friction strategies. Josh also reveals how he shifted from hustling “for cash flow” to building a portfolio that compounds safely, sustainably, and with far less stress.
Years of housing market gains could be at risk, and it's not because of mortgage rates, the Fed, or the US government…it's because of sellers. Since 2022, we've seen housing inventory rise, home prices stabilize (and fall in many major markets), and affordability slightly improve for buyers (thanks to higher supply and lower demand). But now, a new wave of “delistings” could put the future of the housing market in jeopardy. Sellers are refusing to settle, and they're walking away at the fastest pace in eight years. So, what's next? A housing crash? A continued correction? If the delistings continue, one scenario could come to fruition, and it's not what buyers want to hear. Dave walks through the new delistings data in this episode and shares some startling statistics on just how bad things are for young Americans. If the next generation can't buy or rent a home…what happens to the economy? In This Episode We Cover The “delisting” wave hitting an eight-year high and putting years of affordability gains at risk Correction or crash? Why sellers are far less desperate than most people think Markets with the most delistings and where inventory could start to reverse first Cracks in the US economy and the trouble that young Americans are in Lower rent growth for longer? What happens when college graduates CAN'T get a job (or rent an apartment/house)? And So Much More!

In this episode, we sit down with Elly Cummings from New American Funding to break down what the mortgage world might look like in 2026. If you're wondering where interest rates, home prices, and the market are headed, this conversation is for you. Elly shares why a roughly 6% rate in 2026 isn't the doom-and-gloom headline it's made out to be and why focusing on affordability, not chasing the perfect rate, is what actually matters. We also get into inflation, the impact a new Fed chair could have, and which economic clues are worth paying attention to. Thinking about buying instead of renting? Elly explains why waiting could mean paying more later, especially with prices still rising and spring competition heating up. We also talk through tools like temporary buy-downs and how they can help you lock in a payment that fits your life. If you're planning to buy, refinance, or just want to feel more confident heading into 2026, this episode is full of practical insights you can actually use. Let's dive in!

Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com, and it's a cool 55-degree morning here as I cruise at metaphorical 40,000 feet thinking about one of the biggest, nastiest, most rigged disasters in America today: the housing market.
Daryl Fairweather of Redfin is seeing more properties coming off the market because homeowners are asking for more than buyers are willing to pay. Low mortgage rates also make sale alternatives like renting to others appealing. However, it does heavily depend on location, with more homeowners giving up in Florida and Texas. Daryl also compares renting vs buying a condo in the current environment.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

In this episode, Chris and Saied break down one of the strangest weeks in economic news we've ever covered: missing jobs data thanks to the government shutdown, a Fed that suddenly sounds like it forgot what “data-dependent” means, and a housing market showing cracks big enough to drive a mortgage banker through. From Zillow quietly admitting half of America's home values slipped, to builders slashing prices at record levels, to foreclosures quietly creeping up while mortgage lock-ins freeze the market solid — the guys dig into why the “everything is fine” narrative just isn't matching the numbers.➡️ But chaos wasn't limited to housing. Billionaires started bailing on Nvidia like they saw the ending of the AI movie early, Michael Burry essentially rage-quit public filings, and Peter Thiel unloaded his entire stake while VC money keeps ping-ponging between the same five tech giants in the most incestuous loop imaginable. And because this is The Higher Standard, the episode somehow ends with a heated, physics-based debate about whether men should sit or stand when they pee — complete with splash-radius analysis, public-restroom trauma, and a shocking confession about portable butt-gaskets. Peak THS.

"All that this report does is tell them, are they long or are they short? If they're long, they are hoping or betting that the prices will go up. And if they're short, they're hoping or betting that the price will go down. And so what we do then is look at these different types of participants in the market and the report tells us if they are long or if they're short. And it tells us if that position has changed from the prior report. Because if a change, a significant change, like either less long or less short or going from net long to net short, it would be an indication of a change in sentiment. So this segment of the market now believes that prices will go up or this segment of the market now believes that prices will go down. Does that mean they will go up or down? No. It does not. But it's important for you to know and helpful for you to know if the people who basically make their living looking at the market and have skin in the game."

What market is poised to outpace even the mighty New York? This week the global Head of Research at Knight Frank, Liam Bailey, is joined by President & CEO of Miller Samuel, Jonathan Miller. Jonathan is a legendary New York housing market expert whose insights shape understanding of luxury real estate trends nationwide.Using fresh data from the Knight Frank Global Super-Prime Intelligence Report, Liam and Jonathan explore how billionaires and centi-millionaires are reshaping global housing markets, and what the latest quarter's slowdown really means.Across 12 leading global hubs, 474 residential sales above $10 million took place in Q3 2025, totalling $8.5 billion. But with volumes down 21% and values down 29% on Q2, the big question is: what's driving the shift?Jonathan describes a market in rude health: despite a slowdown in Q3 sales, Wall Street continues to fuel the luxury sector, and Q4 is shaping up to be a bumper season in the city.Meanwhile, in Miami and Palm Beach, demand remains strong but low inventory is holding back transactions. Liam draws parallels with London, where, spoiler alert, wealth taxes are not helping super-prime volumes, and with Dubai, where, as in Miami, limited stock is constraining sales.Looking ahead to 2026, New York appears set for a strong run. But one market in particular is poised to outpace even the Big Apple… tune in to find out which.For more global wealth and property insight: Subscribe to Liam's twice-weekly Global Property Briefing here: https://preferences.knightfrank.com/subscribe-to-global-property-briefing Hosted on Acast.

The realities of a housing market correction are setting in. This could be the turning point for real estate that investors (and homebuyers) have been waiting for. Are you ready? We're back with our November housing market update, giving you the latest data on home prices, housing inventory, days on market, affordability, and where (and what) are the best opportunities for investors. Sellers are growing increasingly desperate as the buyer's market shifts further toward the investor's side. And, with the seasonally slow winter months coming up, this could be the perfect moment to strike a deal. There's even better news to come. New affordability measurements are showing what most Americans thought impossible: an improvement in housing affordability. Could this set us on a trend where buying a home (at least temporarily) becomes affordable, and makes deals more profitable for investors? Dave lays it all out in today's show! In This Episode We Cover Home price updates and signs sellers are getting increasingly desperate More choices for investors as housing inventory growth hits a recent record The areas where homes are sitting on the market for the longest (multiple months!) Dave's pick for the best strategy in this buyer-controlled market Affordability for Americans? A major (positive!) shift we cannot ignore And So Much More!

He explores what's driving the shift—from affordability crises to shifting priorities—and examines new proposals like 50-year mortgages and portable home loans. Plus, how America's housing shortage ties into mental health, generational trends, and global comparisons.

The Empire State Building took 110 days to build—today, changing a window would take two years. Alex Rampell (a16z) and Varun Krishna (Rocket CEO) expose how asset inflation turned housing from the American Dream into a wealth transfer machine where the median homebuyer age jumped from 30 to 38 in just fourteen years. While Silicon Valley burns billions on products people use daily but never pay for, Rocket quietly assembled a $10 billion profit engine and is now buying up the entire housing funnel—from Redfin's 50 million monthly searchers to one in six US mortgages—betting they can crack the code everyone else gave up on: turning a once-in-a-lifetime transaction into an everyday relationship.

In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, host Nate Thurston discusses the current housing affordability crisis and former President Trump's proposal for 50-year mortgages. Nate examines the complexities and potential downsides of longer mortgage terms, emphasizing that the root problem lies in the supply and demand imbalance in the housing market. He suggests that government regulations, state and local zoning laws, and various economic factors are contributing to the housing shortage. Nate also touches upon the role of institutional investors, immigration, and tariffs on building materials in exacerbating the crisis.

#658: An unusual First Friday episode because we don't have a jobs report. However, we do know that in October, U.S. companies announced more job cuts in a single month than they have over any single month of the last 20 years. In other words, October was peak job cut month. By contrast, private payrolls, as reported by ADP, rose by 42,000 in October, so we have a little bit of conflicting data. Some pessimistic, some optimistic. We're going to take a deeper look at that in today's episode.
