Is the housing shortage actually a myth? A new report from Zelman and Associates argues the real crisis isn't a quantity shortage — it's an affordability shortage concentrated in starter homes, while deficit estimates from the White House, Realtor.com, and Harvard vary wildly. In this week's Market Trends podcast episode, Matt Lombardi and Steve Kaempf break down the data, plus a strong August jobs report (162,000 jobs added), mortgage rates holding at 6.7% as buyers get squeezed, institutional investors pulling back sharply after new housing legislation, Chicago's revised renter protection ordinance, and September's realtor safety month with key tips for agents in the field.New episodes of Market Trends drop every week — subscribe so you don't miss the next one.#HousingShortage #MortgageRates #HousingMarket2026 #RealEstateNews #MarketTrends #JobsReport #RealEstateInvesting #ChicagoRealEstate #RealtorLife #FederalReserve #peoplenottitles Full episodes available at www.peoplenottitles.comPeople, Not Titles podcast is hosted by Steve Kaempf and is dedicated to lifting up professionals in the real estate and business community.

Rocket is again getting ahead of FHFA by raising conforming loan limits early, potentially to around $853,400, giving lenders a competitive opportunity to capture incremental agency volume and pull borrowers from jumbo financing while weighing the funding, hedging, and basis risk of holding those loans until the new limits become officially deliverable. Robbie interviews Curinos' Ken Flaherty and Rich Martin on the growing home-equity opportunity, using speed as a competitive advantage, reaching the next generation of borrowers, and tracking key mortgage-market trends over the next year. And specified payups have compressed in the selloff as weaker MBS valuations, higher volatility, and reduced liquidity diminish the value investors place on prepayment protection, making it important for lenders to use more conservative payup assumptions and avoid relying on historical premiums when pricing and hedging specified production.This week's podcasts are sponsored by NFTYDoor, the white-label HELOC platform for banks, credit unions, and  brokers.

I'm super excited to introduce you all to Jeff Campbell. Jeff is a digital marketing veteran and e-commerce entrepreneur and professor at Wake Forest University. His strategic vision and operational approach have led multiple successful business acquisitions and exits. Jeff currently leads AI Commerce, a global digital agency focused on marketplaces and e-commerce, which he co-founded in 2020. So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Jeff.Jeff 00:00:31  Thanks for having me, Josh. I'm excited.Josh 00:00:32  What is there anything that you've done with your agency or with previous experience to really start turning a business that the average order for? I guess the average number of orders per customer, instead of it being one, you start increasing it to 2 to 3 because that's where you start to get this flywheel of, all right, I can spend I could even spend more to acquire this customer that it's not even break even. I'm losing money on the front end, but I make it up in the long in the long run. So are there any strategies or advice you would share to our listeners in order to help get those second, third, fourth sales and repeat purchases?Jeff 00:01:14  Yeah, I can't stress enough how important first party data is, specifically email addresses.Jeff 00:01:19  So if you can get them to your website to somehow register a product or an, you know, there's some rules with Amazon, you know how how you can get information, what you can stick in the box, etc. but, figure that out because I think that first party data is going to be so crucial for brand owners in the future for targeting as as privacy laws will hopefully come out soon. And, and, and the data sharing of of the platforms are probably going to stay heavily with the platform. So, here and now, rant over about one p data. You know, Amazon and most of these platforms have some sort of retargeting, right. So if you know that you're you're hawking air filters and they go out every three months and you need a replacement. Use your email database if you have it, use some of the the first party data of your platforms. Be it Amazon or Walmart. A lot of that does take some DSP work, which comes with a higher price tag. But retargeting is one strong, strong way to to remind people about the previous purchase and time to to repurchase.Jeff 00:02:24  I think that's probably the big one. Again, the email relationship and again, having first party data to be able to do that and then from there create and lookalike models. Right. So understanding the behaviors of those folks and starting to target people, to make maybe their first purchase because they look a lot, a lot like or they act and behave like, past purchasers of yours too. Works really well for that initial. And then you can retarget them as well.Josh 00:02:49  Yeah, it makes great sense. I love that now, Jeff. I would love to dive in further into these profitability or just overall metrics that people should be tracking that become those mile markers that lead to scale. And let's dive deep into what each of those, you know, metrics mean and how, you know, let's say take an an Amazon e-commerce seller today, how they should be tracking them now, and maybe some of the tools they should be using to make sure that they're setting up the correct foundation.Jeff 00:03:20  Sure, sure.Jeff 00:03:22  so, you know, I, I'd really look at making sure you are tracking the standard, you know, impressions, clicks, click through rate, you know, cost, CPC, etc.. we always want to look at that variability as CPC. That's really important. some, some of the other ones, the new to brand metrics where you can get them, the cost per orders and kind of go into that customer acquisition cost and LTV. so CPO cost per order is, is important. and then as we as we know, especially with Amazon and some of the other marketplaces are starting to do this. The reliance and relationship between paid and organic. The more you pay to get some keyword wins, the more you're going to see yourself organic. So you have to compile some of those sales from both paid and organic channels against the cost of the advertising, because there is a relationship there. So looking at that total Roas or that total ACOs or tacos, as the hungry people like to say is important as well.Jeff 00:04...

Are you so focused on what's happening today that you've lost sight of where you're headed tomorrow? In this episode, Jim Fox shares a simple but powerful idea: retirement planning is a lot like using a telescope and a microscope. You need to keep an eye on your long-term goals while paying attention to the decisions you're making right now. Jim explains how income, Social Security, taxes, risk, and spending all work together, and why a personalized plan matters far more than chasing the latest financial product.

He explains that, despite a number of well-publicized challenges facing the housing sector, the market is actually healthier than many people realize. Logan points to several positive indicators, including a gradual increase in available housing inventory, a noticeable slowdown in the rate of home price appreciation, and continued growth in wages, all of which are contributing to improved affordability for buyers. Logan delves into the topic of mortgage rate spreads, offering insights into how these spreads are impacting both buyers and sellers in the current environment. He also highlights the significant role that millennial demographic demand is playing in shaping the housing market, noting that this large cohort of potential homebuyers will continue to drive demand for years to come. Additionally, Logan addresses the frequently discussed concept of the "silver tsunami," which refers to the anticipated wave of baby boomer homeowners selling their properties. He reassures listeners that this phenomenon remains a distant concern and is unlikely to disrupt the market in the near future. Throughout the episode, Logan offers practical advice tailored to different segments of the market. He encourages buyers to negotiate assertively in order to secure the best possible deals, and he urges sellers to set realistic prices that reflect current market conditions. For loan originators, Logan suggests that this period of lower competition presents a valuable opportunity to focus on building relationships, refining their skills, and strengthening their businesses in preparation for the next phase of market growth. By taking these steps, industry professionals can position themselves for long-term success as the housing market continues to evolve. TLOP's Originator Coaching:

HOA foreclosures are surging nationwide, and most homeowners don't realize their HOA can place a lien — and in about 20 states, legally foreclose — even if their mortgage is completely paid off.In this week's market trends podcast episode, Matt Lombardi and Steve Kaempf break down the "super-priority" laws behind this, why HOA-related foreclosures jumped 40% over two years, and why rising insurance and repair costs are forcing associations to skip grace periods and move straight to legal action.Also this week: Zillow lays off 500 employees just before earnings, continuing a pattern of AI-driven cuts. The Fed holds rates steady at its July meeting under new chair Kevin Warsh, despite a surprisingly split committee — and mortgage rates have surged to a one-year high as a result, now hovering around 6.7%.
