In this episode of the Real Estate Education and Investing Podcast, Erin Spradlin and James Carlson, chat about something pretty surprising – how recessions actually affect the housing market in ways you might not expect. They break down the weird pattern that happens: home sales usually dip when a recession hits, but then they often pick up steam midway through and at the end as interest rates drop. The hosts share some eye-opening stats from Housing Wire's economist showing that despite 2023-2024 having historically low sales, more people are submitting purchase applications, suggesting buyers are getting ready to jump back in. They also discuss the new Colorado law that's shaking things up for short-term rental owners – now unincorporated counties can bump their lodging tax from a measly 2% all the way up to 6%, just like cities can. If you've got a vacation rental in the mountains or rural areas, this is definitely something to watch! James, who works with short-term rental investors across the country, explains how these taxes show up on the guest side through platforms like Airbnb, which automatically handles all the local tax stuff. Airbnb is programmed to know all the different Airbnb laws in each area – it won't even let you list a short-term stay in places with minimum-night requirements. Throughout their conversation, they provide tons of practical insights for anyone thinking about real estate investment during economic uncertainty or jumping into the short-term rental market. Enjoy this crash course in navigating the housing market during weird economic times!

The housing market in 2024 and 2025 is standing on much stronger footing than it was during the frenzy of the pandemic years. Despite some headlines claiming demand is crashing, the data tells a different story. Existing home sales are holding steady, purchase applications are rising year-over-year, inventory is growing, and price growth is cooling to healthier levels. In this episode, we break down why the market's reset is good news for the future — and why resilience, not collapse, is the real theme of today's housing economy.
