Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American Financial Corp., says the big news on Wednesday was not that the Federal Reserve started a rate-cutting cycle, but that it appears that there could be additional, aggressive rate cuts that could take an additional 1.5 percentage points off rates over the next 15 months. That rate cutting, Fleming says, reduces the risk  of a deep recession, and the strength of the labor market also limits the possibility of a big decline. As a result, a year from now he expects to see a "lower mortgage rate, lower cost-of-credit rate environment -- with a relatively healthy economy, if not running at trend -- and low inflation," which he says would be a return to "normal." Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, looks at a fund saddled with keywords -- the WisdomTree International Hedged Quality Dividend Growth Fund -- and tells us which of those traits are so important now that the fund deserves to be ETF of the Week. Plus, in the Market Call, Dave Sekera, chief U.S. market strategist at Morningstar, talks fair-value investing and gives his take on how stocks will respond to the rate-cut environment.

We're diving deeper into the 2024 housing market forecast with the latest data on inventory, prices, rents, and a possible recession. But remember, the most important factor is still LOW INVENTORY! So, are you ready to stop waiting and start acting?Highlights:"Unlike back in the 2008 Great Recession period, it is not a question of lacking buyers. We still have multiple offers. And it's also not a question about massive supply where it's leading to home prices plunging. We don't have enough supply, so we are hitting record high home prices." - Lawrence Yun, NAR Economist (Uncle Larry)"While inventory nationally and in most markets is higher than one year ago, it remains low from a historical perspective." - Mark Fleming, First American Chief Economist"Expert forecasts lean towards a moderation in home price growth over the next five years. This translate to a slower and more sustainable pace of appreciation compared to the breakout speed witnessed in recent years, rather than a free fall in prices." - Marco Santarelli, Founder of Norada Real Estate Investments"Since 2020, rents have gone up 30%... Have you gotten a 28% pay raise since 2020? If you haven't, then rents suck." - David Sidoni"In every recession since the 1980s, housing has gone up during the recession, just like the bond market is...opposed to the stock market...owning property is your best hedge against inflation when times get tough." - David SidoniReferenced Episodes:Episode 198 & 216: Learn about Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI) and why it's not the devil.Episode 69 & 106: David Sidoni discusses Dave Ramsey and the math behind homeownership decisions.General Overview:In this episode, David Sidoni delves deeper into the 2024 housing market, emphasizing the ongoing inventory crisis as the key factor influencing prices and affordability.

Send us a Text Message.Is the southern housing market on the brink of another meltdown? This week, we tackle this pressing question with none other than Nick Gurley, CEO of RE Venture Consulting. As mortgage applications show a slight uptick from last week but remain significantly lower than last year, we dissect the surge in home searches and what it means for potential buyers and sellers. The median home price has reached an unprecedented $397,582, with new listings up by 7.3% from last year. Despite these numbers, homes are sitting on the market longer and fewer contracts are being signed, signaling a notable shift from the pandemic-era frenzy.Nick Gurley warns of a possible housing bubble, comparing current conditions in states like Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida to those before the 2008 crash. However, not everyone is sounding the alarm. Mark Fleming from First American Financial Corporation and David Linger from REMAX provide a counterpoint, arguing that the supply-demand imbalance and potential demand surge when mortgage rates drop make a significant price dip unlikely. We also explore the broader economic implications for the southern states, particularly those reliant on construction and tourism.

Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American, expects the housing market to be better in 2024, and while it won't be as hot as it was during the pandemic nor as cold as it was after that run, "it's not quite right yet either, just better." He says the Federal Reserve's actions -- and he expects three or four rate cuts this year -- will determine just how strong the economy and the housing market are this year. Still, he thinks a downturn for the broad economy could actually help the real estate market. Bryan Armour, director of passive strategies research at Morningstar, discusses last week's Securities and Exchange Commission approval of spot bitcoin ETFs, and how investors should size up the resulting boom of new cryptocurrency funds. In the Market Call, Michael Campagna, senior investment analyst at Moerus Capital Management talks about global deep-value investing.

Home sales have been falling fast since interest rates rose last year. After a spree of house shopping and record-low mortgage rates, homeowners sit comfortably in 2023. They've got affordable monthly payments, a home that is (probably) bigger or better than their last one, and expect a potential recession sometime soon. So why would today's homeowners give up all that security to buy in a hazardous market? Mark Fleming from First American has been trying to uncover the answer. Mark serves as Chief Economist for First American, one of the United State's leading title companies. Mark's job is to predict and forecast the housing market, home sales, and buyer activity. And in 2023's topsy-turvy economy, this is becoming a little more difficult. Mark has built a model to help predict home sales, looking at key factors like household formation, affordability, current mortgage rates, demographics, and more. And he's got some interesting findings to share. The days of low interest rates and property upgrading may be over. Homeowners are now staying in their houses for twice as long, holding off on buying their next home until favorable conditions arise. But, this creates a “prisoner's dilemma” for home sellers and buyers. With most of the United State's potential property inventory sitting in the hands of those who refuse to sell, we're answering, “What happens next?” in this episode. In This Episode We Cover Home sales predictions and what happens when there is NO available inventory  Loose monetary policy and how low interest rates caused an affordability spike  Two critical factors that drive the market to soar or slump  Home turnover and why today's homeowner is “locked-in” and refusing to move The “prisoner's dilemma” that's caused the housing market to stagnate  A return to the “new normal” and what future homebuying could look like  And So Much More!

David Trainer, president of New Constructs, says that while Robinhood Markets is down about 80 percent from its 52-week high and that it has room to go a lot lower, having burned through $3.5 billion in cash in the last 12 months, with just more than that amount left in cash on the books. Trainer put the company back into The Danger Zone, saying "We're really not sure what is going to prop this zombie stock up much longer ... '' even as "it is priced as if it is going to go to the moon." Also on the show, Mark Fleming, chief economist at First American Financial Corp., discusses the state of the housing market, noting that homeowners with fixed-rate mortgages aren't feeling the pinch of inflation, while homebuyers are being squeezed hard by it and home-sellers are watching markets change rapidly. Fleming thinks mortgage rates have "mostly found their new normal," noting that current levels of between 5 and 6 percent are in line with historic norms even if they are dramatically higher than consumers have been used to for the last decade or more. Chuck answers a listener's question about what to do with some cash now, and portfolio manager Jeff Muhlenkamp of the Muhlenkamp Fund makes his debut on the show, talking stocks in the Market Call.
