Jason and Michael offers a critical analysis of Melody Wright, a real estate commentator accused of spreading unsubstantiated "doomer" narratives regarding the housing market. They specifically debunk her claims of widespread mortgage fraud, explaining that modern banking regulations and randomized appraisal processes make such conspiracies nearly impossible to execute. They emphasize that inflating property values for "cash-out refis" would require a criminal RICO conspiracy involving multiple parties, which is highly unlikely in today's strict lending environment. Ultimately, Jason and Michael argue that Wright's predictions of a housing market collapse are factually incorrect and designed primarily to generate social media engagement. The conversation concludes by highlighting the high transaction costs and legal risks that serve as natural deterrents to the fraudulent schemes Wright describes.

Melody Wright returns to unpack a housing market collapse accelerating faster than 2008. Foreclosure referrals are spiking 150% month over month, FHA delinquencies are climbing past 12%, and multifamily real estate securitizations are showing signs of fraud, mismarked debt, and vanishing capital. Wright and Marty dig into United Wholesale Mortgage's balance sheet troubles, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac exposure, private credit stress, commercial real estate maturity walls, and why Bitcoin remains the hedge against a monetary system built on unchecked credit creation.

Housing analyst Melody Wright expects home prices to start notably softening later this year.Why?Because a wave of distressed sellers looks very likely to hit the housing market by then.So far, sellers have largely tried to resist lowering prices. "Rage delisting has become a trend where, rather than bring down their price, sellers are just taking their real estate off of the market.But they can't do that forever. And growing percentage of them are becoming delinquent on their mortgage payments.To learn why Melody expects a substantial number of distressed sellers to start throwing in the towel later this year, watch this video.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Jason and Michael Zuber criticize economic doomers like Melody Wright, who they mockingly call "Melody Wrong" for her repeated, failed predictions of a 50% housing market crash. They argue that these pundits suffer from PTSD related to the 2008 financial crisis and rely on sensationalism to generate clicks rather than analyzing current supply and demand data. They also react to YouTuber Graham Stephan's claims that rental properties are not worth the effort, noting that his struggles stemmed from investing in landlord-unfriendly markets like Los Angeles. They contend that while real estate might not be worth the time for high-earning "unicorns" like Stephan, it remains the most reliable path to wealth for average investors. Ultimately, Jason and Michael warns viewers against consuming "mental junk food" and emphasizes that cash flow and asset ownership are superior to speculating on market crashes.

New 2026 housing market forecasts have changed…dramatically. A major downgrade for home sales from NAR, a home price forecast revision from Zillow, and a new mortgage rate range from Fannie Mae. The industry is quickly growing much more anxious. At the start of the year, the consensus was for modest price growth, lower mortgage rates, and improved home sale numbers—that's not where we're at right now. Between inflation fears resurfacing, interest rates climbing again, and major geopolitical earthquakes, just months into the year, real estate forecasters are changing course. Today, we're going through all the top forecasts for home prices, mortgage rates, and home sales from Fannie Mae, JP Morgan, NAR, and Zillow. But what about Dave's 2026 forecast? How has it held up through wars, oil price spikes, and a changing Federal Reserve? Dave reviews his exact 2026 housing market forecast and whether he would change it now. In This Episode We Cover Updated home sales, home price, and mortgage rate predictions from major players in real estate Zillow's latest home price downgrade and why we're inching toward falling home values NAR slashes their home sales forecast significantly, but what do they say it'll do to prices? Housing crash consensus?

Melody Wright, author of M3 Melody Substack, returns to the show for an in-person episode to discuss the frozen spring selling season and reveals disturbing signs of distress bubbling beneath the surface, including mortgage delinquencies rising at the exact time of year they should be falling. She exposes the "rage delisting" phenomenon where stubborn sellers refuse price cuts despite a massive inventory buildup, explains why the housing shortage narrative is a myth perpetuated by builders seeking a bailout, and warns that prime mortgages are now showing weakness for the first time. Melody argues that a 35-50% price correction is needed for median household income to afford median home prices, with the first wave of 10-12% likely over the next couple years. She reveals a massive shadow inventory wave from boomers that could add 20% more homes each year for the next decade, discusses how investors are fire selling (one investor dumping 300 rentals in a single market), and predicts the back half of 2026 could be "really ugly" as forbearance programs expire. Her advice: sellers should cut prices quickly to avoid cutting further, while buyers should stay patient because "the supply is coming."Links:YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@m3_melodyX: https://x.com/m3_melodySubstack: https://m3melody.substack.com/Timestamps0:00 Introduction - Melody Wright returns, spring selling season1:59 Housing market assessment - "Take three of another year frozen"5:28 Distress bubbling under the surface8:15 Why the shortage narrative is so pervasive11:46 Tracking 86 markets now 15:05 Most worrisome areas - The delusional northeast16:11 Boomer stubbornness and shadow inventory wave16:38 How big is the shadow inventory? 20% increase for next 10 years18:22 How far do prices need to correct? 35% to 50%20:42 Warning signals24:25 Most important thing overlooked27:36 Base case - 35% to 50% correction over significant time28:46 Spring season warning 29:54 Back half of year could be really ugly30:17 Shortage of affordable homes because they're mispriced30:58 Advice for sellers - Get real appraisal, cut quickly32:36 Advice for buyers - Stay stubborn, wait for math to work33:04 How does this feel different from 2008?36:45 Who's buying now if institutionals are fire selling?37:57 Parting words - Patience for buyers, supply is coming
A perfect storm is in the process of hitting the US housing market.Cost of ownership has made homes the most unaffordable on record.And mortgage rates are rising again, making things even worse.But beyond that, housing analyst Melody Wright predicts a flood of foreclosures to swell as 2026 progresses, adding even more excess inventory and pushing prices down.To understand why, watch this video.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

A “structural shift” is happening in the housing market—one that will permanently change how home prices appreciate. We could be experiencing the last era of steady, rising home prices as we enter into a new reality—a reality without Baby Boomers owning real estate. For years, a “silver tsunami” has been predicted to “crash” the housing market. With Baby Boomers downsizing, aging in place, and passing away, the inevitable wave of inventory was supposed to hit the housing market with fury—but it hasn't happened, at least not yet. With the average Baby Boomer now in their 70s, surely we should start to see inventory fly on the market…right? Today, we're getting into when (and if) the silver tsunami will hit, why the end of the Baby Boomer generation could change the home price growth trajectory permanently, and what will unfold in the 2030s (and beyond) that could cause serious headwinds in the housing market. But if it all comes true, investors will have the opportunity of a lifetime to get something many have assumed is gone—cash flow. In This Episode We Cover The “silver tsunami” explained, and why it hasn't crashed the housing market Inheritance begins to peak—how many heirs will keep vs. sell their parents' homes? The “structural shift” that could change home price appreciation forever Just how much of the housing market Baby Boomers own (it's a LOT) The return of cash flow? Why real estate investors will get another opportunity to buy And So Much More!

A housing price correction “worse than 2008”? That's the headline of Melody Wright's widely-cited Newsweek interview, but today, she's giving her full, honest take on what she really meant. Melody got into the mortgage industry in 2006, riding the subprime wave up until it popped two years later. The lender she worked for went bankrupt in 2012, as Melody witnessed the fallout firsthand. From there, her new job became analyzing housing data to ensure this never happened again. And looking at the data—delinquencies rising, inventory spiking, a quiet “credit crisis” rarely talked about—Melody believes we could be on the verge of another serious correction. Today, we're getting her detailed opinion on whether we should expect a housing crash, correction, or a slow, stable return to affordability. We talk at length about the rising delinquency rates (much of which is not public) signaling serious trouble for the housing market and borrowers, and the “credit crisis” brewing behind the scenes that could upend the market (especially for investors). This is what Melody Wright really thinks will happen next. In This Episode We Cover Melody's real opinion on the “Worse Than 2008” claim Why Melody believes home prices could correct up to 50% in some markets The “credit crisis” brewing that uncovers a very weak homebuyer pool Delayed delinquency? Why more borrowers are beginning to inch closer to losing their homes The white-collar recession that will have serious effects on pricey real estate markets And So Much More!

Marty sits down with Melody Wright, housing market analyst and investigative researcher, to discuss the deepening cracks beneath the surface of the U.S. housing and labor markets — from record-low home sales and rising mortgage delinquencies to corrupted government data, municipal fiscal collapse, and the broader consumer credit stress that mainstream financial media continues to ignore.

Trump delivered a major economic speech yesterday, in which he advocated for all the policies that created inflation, fake wealth, and the K-shaped economy to begin with. He wants endless near-zero interest rates and more juicing of the housing and stock-market bubbles. Also, everything he is doing is executive actions with no plan to codify them in Congress. Next, I explain how Bibi Netanyahu is pushing for a phaseout of aid to his country, while Trump shockingly opposes it. Our main discussion today is about letting the housing bubble deflate on its own. We're joined by Melody Wright, a mortgage finance and housing policy expert, who explains how prices are already coming down. There will be a crash, but on balance, that is a good thing. The problem is that everything the government is doing will lead to price increases. Trump is also misdiagnosing the problem as one of interest rates and supply. In fact, developers have overbuilt in most parts of the country. Rather than treating the delayed symptom of corporate ownership, the time has come to treat the cause, which is government ownership of housing. Let the bubble pop! Learn more about your ad choices.

Melody Wright explains why lower mortgage rates won't save housing, why inventory is piling up, and why foreclosures could surge into 2026. If you're buying, waiting, or investing.#housingmarket #mortgage #federalreserve -------------------
Melody Wright is sounding the alarm on the US economy, and the picture she paints is far more dire than the mainstream media or the government would have you believe. Melody unpacks why the housing market is a disaster, the rampant fraud and abuse perpetrated by both sides of the political aisle, why AI has hit a mania phase that is set to hit a brick wall, and much more.Get Your 'Stack Silver Not Fiat' Shirt: https://commodity-culture-shop.fourthwall.com/products/stack-silver-not-fiat-t-shirtM3_Melody Substack: https://m3melody.substack.comFollow Melody on X: https://x.com/m3_melodyMelody's Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@m3_melodyFollow Jesse Day on X: https://x.com/jessebdayCommodity Culture on Youtube: https://youtube.com/c/CommodityCulture

Housing Expert @m3_melody from Housing Wire joins this episode of the Real Estate Notes Show. They dive deep into one of the strangest, most unpredictable housing environments we've seen in years. Melody is an industry expert who pulls back the curtain on the conflicting data, rising risks, and hidden market shifts that are catching both lenders and investors off guard.Melody exposes the quiet forces distorting today's housing numbers, from unreported forbearance deferrals to skyrocketing insurance costs, false rental demand, and the surge of off-MLS distressed sales. She explains why delinquencies appear contradictory, why non-bank lenders are quietly vulnerable, and why local boots-on-the-ground intelligence matters more now than any national headline.Most importantly: Melody breaks down where the cracks are forming, which markets are softening first, and what note investors and seller-finance creators must prepare for in the next 12 months.To obtain this week's Real Estate Notes Show guest Melody Wright's information, use this link https://bit.ly/4rrlZAM**Never Miss a Live Show**, Add our Calendar to yours!

We begin by showing how Democrats will win in the long run on the government shutdown, even though it looks like they are capitulating this week. Plus, the Supreme Court's refusal to overturn Obergefell shows that even the GOP appointees are hopelessly political. Next, we're joined by mortgage finance expert Melody Wright, who explains why Trump's plan to create a 50-year mortgage not only is debt slavery but will continue to fuel the housing crisis. In fact, Wright explains how the entire history of the 30-year mortgage was a folly. We actually need to return to the exact opposite dynamic: shorter mortgages, less debt, and less government involvement, which will allow home ownership to become affordable for the median income with shorter-term debt. She also warns that the AI data-center bubble is not only unsustainable but a ruse to prop up the economy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We all railed against the artificially created asset bubbles that have destroyed affordability and upward mobility. Yet every policy Republicans seem to pursue has doubled down on those same factors. I do a quick roundup of economic news and news on data centers to show how we are pouring lighter fluid on a raging dumpster fire of an economy that Republicans claim is a “golden era.” We're joined by Melody Wright, a housing and mortgage expert, who is warning of the imminent collapse of the housing market. She explains unequivocally how the housing crisis is absolutely not the result of a supply issue, and in fact, the opposite is true. It was created by debt slavery induced by government incentives and interventions. We also tie in the housing crisis to the AI data centers to show how they continue to inflate bubbles and crush landowners rather than allowing the economy to reset. Learn more about your ad choices.

Here is a 300-word summary of the podcast transcript: The podcast features an in-depth discussion with Melody Holt, an expert in housing and mortgage markets, exploring the complex dynamics of the current US housing landscape. Holt's background in macro economics and mortgage lending provides her with a unique perspective on the housing market's evolution and potential risks. Holt argues that the housing market has fundamentally transformed since the late 1980s, shifting from a focus on first-time homebuyers to an investment-driven ecosystem. The average household size has dramatically decreased to 2.5 people, reflecting significant demographic changes. She highlights how the market has become increasingly dominated by investors, short-term rentals, and speculation, rather than serving traditional family housing needs. A critical concern is the rise of non-bank lenders, which now comprise 85% of mortgage lending. These institutions lack the financial cushioning of traditional banks and are potentially vulnerable to economic shifts. Holt warns that the current housing market is facing multiple challenges, including overbuilding, misallocated inventory, and declining affordability for younger generations. Demographics present another significant challenge. The United States is not maintaining population replacement rates, with an aging population of baby boomers who own the majority of homes. Holt predicts a potential significant market correction, potentially as dramatic as the 2008 financial crisis, where home prices could realign more closely with median household incomes. The discussion emphasizes the complexity of the housing market, pointing out systematic issues like securitization, government intervention, and misleading data reporting. Holt advises consumers to be cautious about taking on debt and to conduct thorough personal research before making significant housing decisions. Ultimately, Holt suggests the housing market may be heading toward a period of correction, where prices could dramatically realign with economic fundamentals. She recommends skepticism toward mainstream narratives and encourages individuals to carefully evaluate their personal financial circumstances before committing to major housing investments.
Housing analyst Melody Wright sees prices headed downwards nationally this year as inventory continues to explode higher in more and more markets.WORRIED ABOUT THE MARKET?

Meghan interviews housing market analyst Melody Wright about why purchasing a home has reached historic levels of unaffordability. A rising star on YouTube, Melody was on the front lines of the mortgage implosion during the Great Financial Crisis and has devoted the last few years to scratching beneath the surface of the affordability crisis in housing. Though low inventory remains a problem in many regions, you might be surprised to learn that in many parts of the country, new construction has saturated the marketplace and countless homes are sitting empty. Melody talks about how this happened, why the media doesn't report more on it, and where she sees similarities to the run-up to the housing market crash in 2008. Plus, fun fact: did you know that the word mortgage is derived from the very old French legal term “death pledge?” ABOUT THE GUEST Follow Melody on Substack. Melody on YouTube. Follow her on X.
