We're diving into the real reasons the Portland real estate market feels stuck, and spoiler alert, it's not just interest rates or a lack of buyers. In this episode, Steve Nassar and Joe Fistolo of the Portland Real Estate Podcast tackle the state of the market as of May 21st, 2025, revealing the hidden forces at play and what it means for you. Steve and Joe break down why certain segments are struggling more than others (we're looking at you, downtown condos!), and the surprising factors driving high-income earners out of Multnomah County. From the impact of "cash for keys" and tax burdens to the complexities of HOA issues and insurance woes, they share practical insights on why the market has been a story of "fits and starts" for the past three years. You'll hear about the SDC moratorium and why it's not enough to solve the core housing crisis, and how subtle shifts in buyer behavior are creating a nervous, indecisive environment. This episode is about clarity, strategy, and understanding the nuances of a challenging market. If you're serious about navigating Portland's real estate landscape, this conversation is your next move. Listen in for a real, relatable, and energizing discussion on what it takes to thrive in today's unpredictable market. Key Takeaways The Q1 and early Q2 real estate market was weak due to economic volatility, 7% interest rates, and increased inventory. The detached home market saw brief improvement, but condos and townhomes continue to struggle with high HOA fees and insurance issues. The market has experienced "fits and starts" for the past three years, with a particularly slow spring season. Buyers are nervous, making and quickly retracting offers due to economic uncertainty and news. Multnomah County's high-end market has lower appreciation due to high property and other taxes. A three-year SDC moratorium in Multnomah County is seen as insufficient to address core housing development issues. Multnomah County's "cash for keys" tenant rights make it unattractive for rental property investors. Realtors should strongly recommend buyers hire an HOA consultant to review HOA documents. Insurance companies are scrutinizing homeownership details, leading to denied coverage for certain piping types. NAR commission changes have had little negative impact on agents, but have reduced buyer spontaneity. In the current market, price reductions are more effective than concessions for attracting buyers. AI tools like ChatGPT can help tighten listing remarks but aren't a magical solution for poor performance.

Jason talks about the current state of the housing market, emphasizing that there is no housing crash due to the low number of financially distressed homeowners. He shared updated statistics from the US Census Bureau, indicating that 39.8% of homeowners have no mortgage, and 65% have mortgages at or below 4%. Jason also highlighted the oversupply in the high-end market and encouraged potential buyers to reach out to his investment counselors for opportunities. Jason then finishes his talk with Vince of RE social as they discuss the advantages of single-family homes, highlighting their accessibility and historical stability. While scaling can seem challenging with multiple mortgages, blanket loans exist. Institutional investors demonstrate the scalability of single-family rentals. Diversification across 3-5 markets is recommended for single-family homes, offering a balance between wealth creation through concentration and preservation via diversification. Viewing tenants as "subscribers" in a sticky business model and leveraging financing and tax benefits further solidify single-family income property as a top asset class. #RealEstateInvesting #SingleFamilyHomes #IncomeProperty #RentalProperty #RealEstateTips #InvestmentStrategy #WealthBuilding #PassiveIncome #REI #RealEstateMarket #Diversification #SubscriptionBusiness #TaxBenefits #1031Exchange #HousingMarket #RealEstateExpert #InvestmentProperties #FinancialFreedom #RealEstateForBeginners #MultifamilyInvesting Key Takeaways: Jason's editorial 2:32 Why there is housing crash YET 9:17 Join our FREE MASTERCLASS EVERY 2nd Wednesday of the month JasonHartman.com/Wednesday Jason's interview with Vince Rodriguez of RE Social part 2 10:11 Diversity 12:22 The best subscription model in the world 13:32 Share of income, income property and taxes 17:55 Buy or rent? 20:22 Market dynamics and unemployment insurance 28:53 "Everyone has a right to a home"- and you're renting it out!

My guest today is Cliff Sosin. Cliff is the founder of CAS Investment Partners, a fund he started with $5 million in 2012 and has grown to $1.7 billion as of the last reported numbers at the end of 2024. At the time, CAS had only four positions. This conversation is different to our typical episodes. We start by talking about Cliff's investing philosophy but the bulk of this long discussion is a case study into his remarkable investment in Carvana. Cliff is one of the biggest investors in the business, which had a market cap over $60 billion in 2021, then fell 99%, survived, and now has a market cap approaching $50 billion again. While I hosted Carvana's CEO, Ernie Garcia, last year to get the inside perspective on managing through such turbulence, today we hear the investor's side of this extraordinary story. It is a singular episode and there are so many lessons in this rare opportunity to hear a major investor describe his decision-making process at every stage of the journey. Please enjoy my great conversation with Cliff Sosin.

Most people run from stress. The world's highest performers run toward it. Sébastien Page manages over $500 billion in global assets. He's the CIO of one of the world's largest investment firms, and he wrote The Psychology of Leadership while living under relentless pressure. His secret? He doesn't avoid stress—he uses it as a tool for performance, clarity, and control. But here's the twist: this isn't just about boardrooms or billion-dollar trades. Whether you're running a company, chasing a deadline, or just trying to stop procrastinating on your goals—this conversation will flip what you think you know about pressure, performance, and productivity. You'll learn why trying to “relax your way to success” doesn't work—and how to harness discomfort to create better decisions, higher output, and more resilience in every part of life. What You'll Learn in This Episode: • The psychology of stress and why zero stress leads to burnout • How procrastination can boost creative performance • What astronauts, athletes, and leaders have in common • Why the key to better decisions is strategic patience, not speed • The stress-performance curve no one taught you in school • Why losing is the real path to mastery (and what Roger Federer can teach you) • The difference between being nice vs. being kind—and why it matters It's time to start turning stress into strategy.
