Supply, Stalemate, and Strategy: A Data-Centric View on U.S. Housing with Chris Nebenzahl   Locked-In America: The Housing Market's Great Stall The U.S. housing market isn't just tight, it's inert. As Chris Nebenzahl, Housing Economist at John Burns Research and Consulting, puts it, America is experiencing a “lock-in effect” where millions of homeowners, beneficiaries of sub-3% mortgages from a prior era, have no incentive to move. Transactions, both in the for-sale and rental segments, are stalling. Inventory is constrained by economic rationality, not lack of demand. “The housing market thrives on constant moves,” Nebenzahl says. “But right now, across the housing spectrum, people are locked in.”   The result: record-low turnover in single-family and multifamily rentals, with occupancy propped up by immobility rather than expansion. In such a frozen ecosystem, prices remain surprisingly buoyant despite high rates – a divergence from textbook supply-demand dynamics.   The 5.5% Mortgage Threshold: A Reopening Trigger? The most actionable insight from Nebenzahl's research: housing won't truly unfreeze until mortgage rates return to a “magic number” of approximately 5.5%. That's the psychological and financial line at which the lock-in effect starts to meaningfully ease, based on historical demand models and borrower behavior.   With mortgage rates stuck between 6.5% and 7.5%, this still feels a long way off. Until that number is achieved, or until housing prices decline significantly, mobility will remain stifled. Notably, certain regions such as Florida, Texas, Arizona, and Tennessee are already seeing modest price declines, indicating that some pressure is starting to break through.   But Nebenzahl is clear: this isn't a repeat of 2008. “Nationwide, I think we'll see maybe a 1–2% decline in home values. We're nowhere near GFC territory,” he says. The real estate crash of yesteryear was a systemic event; today's stalling is more friction than fissure.   Bifurcation in Geography and Performance The story of U.S. housing is increasingly one of regional divergence. “It's a tale of two markets,” Nebenzahl observes. Northeast, Midwest, parts of the West Coast: Supply remains tight, pricing is stable or even rising, and rent growth is positive particularly in cities like Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco. Sunbelt metros like Austin, Dallas, Denver, Nashville: Facing ongoing rent declines and incentives as a wave of multifamily supply catches up with (and briefly outpaces) demand. What's driving this? In one word: inventory. “Austin, for example, has seen the most supply as a percentage of existing stock. That's softened rents, even though demand remains strong.”   The Quiet Strength of Rentals Despite oversupply in some markets, multifamily is holding up. Rents have stabilized, absorption remains healthy, and rent-to-income ratios are generally favorable. Nationwide, that ratio sits around 25%, well below the 30% threshold for ‘rent burden.' Even in supply-saturated markets like Austin, ratios hover near 20%, laying a foundation for recovery.   Why this resilience? A few reasons: Affordability gap: With for-sale housing out of reach for many due to both price and interest rates, renting becomes the only viable option. Mobility hedge: In uncertain economic times, the flexibility of a 12-month lease is more appealing than a 30-year mortgage. Demographic tailwinds: New household formation, though potentially threatened by labor market softness, is still skewing towards rentals. “The lion's share of household formation is going into rental,” Nebenzahl says. “Because of affordability challenges, and because people are hesitant to make long-term commitments.”   Cracks in the Foundation: Where Distress May Surface Still, there are stress points, especially in assets underwritten in the froth of 2021. “I'd be watching older vintage assets in oversupplied markets,” he says. “Many of those were acquired with floating rate debt and pro formas that didn't anticipate interest rates going from 0% to 5.5% overnight.”   These deals are now colliding with debt maturities, declining rents, and underwriting models that assumed permanent appreciation. That said, he does not forecast widespread defaults – more likely, selective distress in marginal players.   Risks on the Horizon: Immigration, Labor, and Fragility Beyond rates and rent rolls, Nebenzahl highlights three structural risks that CRE professionals should monitor closely: Immigration policy: Rental demand and construction labor both depend heavily on immigrant populations. Recent restrictions, including H1-B visa tightening and deportations, have had a measurable cooling effect. “Immigrants rent across the income spectrum,” he notes. “A slowdown hits both the demand side and the build (supply) side.” Aging trades workforce: With fewer young workers entering skilled trades, the industry faces a slow-burning capacity problem. The average age of electricians, plumbers, and roofers is steadily rising, and backfilling this labor pool remains an unsolved challenge. Tariffs and supply chain volatility: Tariffs on building materials could push up construction costs 2–3%, and as Nebenzahl notes, those costs would disproportionately impact steel-heavy high-rise multifamily more than low-rise SFR or garden-style.   Monetary Fog: The Fed, Rates, and Global Perception Much of the future, however, depends on interest rates and here Nebenzahl expresses qualified caution. While he believes we are “above neutral” levels now, he doesn't expect a return to near zero interest rates. “Even in a mild recession, I don't see the 10-year Treasury falling below 3–3.5%,” he says.   But more troubling is what he calls the “qualitative fog”: rising geopolitical tension, politicization of monetary policy, and eroding investor trust in American stability. “We're hearing less ‘there is no alternative' about the U.S.,” he says. “Foreign capital is pausing. Not exiting – but pausing.” That loss of automatic confidence in U.S. housing and Treasuries could ripple through cap rates and investment demand far more than a 25-basis-point Fed decision.   What to Watch: Nebenzahl's Key Indicators For professionals managing exposure in this market, Nebenzahl advises watching: Job growth – Still the most reliable proxy for household formation. Household formation – Where people are forming new households, rentals are likely to benefit. Treasury market confidence – A real-time referendum on U.S. economic credibility.   Final Thoughts: Where He'd Put $1 Million Today Asked how he'd allocate $1M today, Nebenzahl doesn't hesitate: “I'd split it between Midwest and Sunbelt rentals, multifamily and build-to-rent.”   He's not holding cash. He's not forecasting a crash. He's betting on rental fundamentals and long-term demographic logic.   “There's dry powder waiting to be deployed,” he concludes. “And multifamily is still one of the most institutionally resilient plays in U.S. real estate.”   *** In this series, I cut through the noise to examine how shifting macroeconomic forces and rising geopolitical risk are reshaping real estate investing.   With insights from economists, academics, and seasoned professionals, this show helps investors respond to market uncertainty with clarity, discipline, and a focus on downside protection.    Subscribe to my free newsletter for timely updates, insights, and tools to help you navigate today's volatile real estate landscape.

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast… Joining Mallory today is Jill Vorndran, a fundraiser at Covenant House. She held a variety of leadership roles within the organization for 26 years and contributed to the movement's effort to grow support, financial stability, and brand awareness. She joined us today to talk about the importance of relationship-based fundraising.  In an era where inboxes are full but the attention is overextended, relationship-based fundraising stands out as both a grounding force and a powerful stimulus for impact. When fundraisers have the space to lead with genuine connection, they create an environment where the donors feel seen, valued, and invited to become a part of something meaningful. In a moment of uncertainty, this approach becomes vital because it represents trust, consistency, and care.  In this episode, you will be able to: - Learn about the impact of stress and fear responses in fundraising practices. - Discover the importance of staying connected to donors in challenging times. - Learn about the importance of self-care as a leader. - Learn how fear-based fundraising environments lead to short-term thinking and emotional burnout.  Get all the resources from today's episode here.  Support for this show is brought to you by Donor Perfect.

Sadiqa, my guest's mother, was fifteen years old when she became a mother for the first time as part of an arranged marriage in Baghdad, Iraq in 1955. She was a wonderful mother but Sairan thought a bit too cautious which is very common for a teenager to think. Having a more conservative husband, Sadiqa loved all of her children equally and would often do anything for them. She was more lenient that her husband. My guest was one of seven children, safely nestled in the middle of the large group of children.With no formal education, she never did any professional training, she was beautiful, had a wonderful sense of humor and did everything for her children as her husband travelled frequently for business. In Sairan's mind, her mother "had seven PHD's because she raised seven wonderful children, each one unique.Unfortunately, Sadiqua died unexpectedly at fifty-eight years old and Sairan wasn't able to introduce her first child to her mother in person.Sairan is a Business Strategist and Engineer but she also is helping people unpack their hidden gem. Often, we think we are happy-working, taking care of the family, seeing friends, etc. But, Sairan, who was born in Bagdad and now an Iraqi American citizen, learned many life lessons at 26 years old  when she came to the United States with her big American dreams. Today, she's a mom, entrepreneur and very successful engineer, but she's come to appreciate the belif of making and impact in the workd and that obstacles can be overcome. "Voices of Truth" is a compilation of engaging speakers sharing their stories of impact. Sairan is on the the contributing authors.As one can expect, being so far away from family, at such a young age, had it's challenges and heartbreak. And it was such an honor to hear Sairan share stories of her mother. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned back in 2002 but I'm grateful that Sairan felt comfortable opening up to me.My guest has launched another career where she's helping middle aged women and men take their next steps in life to figure out who they are, what they want to do with their lives and what kind of impact they want to have on the world.I received wonderful emails from Sairan including these wonderful tidbits about her mother. She wrote "my relationship with my mother has been both foundational and transformative. She was a woman of quiet strength and resilience, and while our bond wasn't always expressed through words, her actions taught me the value of perseverance, integrity, and grace under pressure. She laid the groundwork for the woman I've become—both as an engineer and a business strategist—by modeling the power of showing up fully, even when the odds are stacked against you.I was drawn to your podcast because I believe these stories matter. The influence of our mothers or female role models often shapes our identity in powerful, often subtle, ways. I wanted to share insights on how that influence—especially in midlife—can become a springboard for reinvention. For many women, midlife feels like a cross roads. But with the right mindset, it can be a launch pad.  That's a message I hope will inspire your audience to reflect on their own journeys and the women who helped shape them."There are many wonderful stories that Sairan shared with me. I hope you enjoy this episode. And take a part of  Saduqa with you where ever you go. SOCIAL MEDIA:LINKEDIN: Sairan Aqrawi, M.Sc.INSTAGRAM: sairanaqrawiEngineering Innovator | Leadership Strategist | Transformational Team Lead | Communication Specialist | Team Performance ExpertWashington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA)The George Washington University - School of Engineering & Applied ScienceWashington DC-Baltimore Area Contact infoLet's Set Up a Meeting    T AN IMPACT IN THE WORLD / AND THAT  “OBSTACLES CAN BE OVERCOME”.

The key to a successful and joy-filled marriage is learning to put your husband's needs above your own. This isn't about being overlooked—it's about choosing love through humility. A submissive wife doesn't live to compete with her husband, but to support him, serve him, and honor his leadership. By prioritizing his needs daily, she fosters peace, stability, and deep connection within the home. This practice of submission, far from being weakness, is actually a quiet strength—and it's one of the best-kept secrets to a thriving, lasting marriage.

Let us explore the often-overlooked power of silence, particularly in the context of introverted communication. Just how often so many around us assume that being verbose equates to value and influence; however, I share my perspective on how intentional quiet can actually be a profound demonstration of confidence. Introverts frequently face pressure to adopt extraverted behaviours just to blend in. It only leads to frustration and burnout. How about we celebrate our natural rhythm, often 'think, say, think' for we introverts, which I believe is the key.  I unpack strategies that help reclaim confidence through measured silence.    ** Key Points ** Embrace Natural Rhythm Power Through Silence Intentional Communication   #PowerOfSilence #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

Setting a boundary can be one of the most loving things we do for ourselves—and also one of the hardest. Even when we know it's right, the act of saying no or asking for space can stir up fear, guilt, doubt, or grief. It can feel messy. Our voice might shake.

We're often bombarded with messages equating success with rapid achievement and instant gratification. Today we are diving into "slow hope," a sustainable form of hope that doesn't rush outcomes but allows time for healing and growth. Unlike traditional hope tied to quick results, slow hope builds resilience over time. Many feel hopeless amid life's challenges or cling desperately to change. Slow hope shifts this perspective by embracing patience and gradual progress. It encourages us not only to focus on end goals but also appreciate the journey itself. Slow hope isn't about instant fixes; it's about steady optimism through small steps toward big goals without burnout or frustration from unmet expectations. Embracing slow hope transforms how we handle uncertainty—building inner strength against setbacks—and fosters long-term personal growth free from constant stressors demanding quick solutions at every turn in our fast-paced world today! Let's break it down… Key Points: Understanding Slow Hope Unlike traditional hope that is tied to specific outcomes or quick resolutions—a mindset that can lead to burnout when things don't go as planned—slow hope is about fostering resilience through patience and trust in life's process. It encourages individuals not just to focus on immediate results but also on gradual progress over time. The Problem with Rapid Progress Our society's obsession with speed can create unrealistic expectations leading many people into cycles of stress or feeling inadequate when they don't achieve their goals quickly enough. By embracing slow hope instead: You release yourself from unnecessary pressures. You open up space for genuine healing. You cultivate an enduring sense of optimism even amidst uncertainty. The Concept of Hope Common perceptions of hope in moments of uncertainty Distinction between traditional hope and slow hope The introduction of 'slow hope'—a sustainable form of optimism Understanding Slow Hope Definition and characteristics of slow hope How slow hope differs from traditional hope Importance and benefits of slow hope in personal growth The Role of Slow Hope in Modern Life Challenges in modern life related to instant gratification and quick fixes The pressure of achieving rapid outcomes How slow hope provides a counterbalance to the fast-paced lifestyle Cultivating Slow Hope Step-by-step guide on how to develop a mindset of slow hope Techniques such as self-reflection, patience cultivation, and mindful progression Importance of breaking down big goals into smaller, manageable steps Embracing Uncertainty and Building Resilience Learning to embrace life's uncertainties through slow hope Building resilience by accepting life's ups and downs How a long-term perspective fosters growth and patience Changing Your Mindset with Slow Hope Shifting focus from immediate outcomes to the process of growth The impact of slow hope on reducing anxiety and stress Enhancing self-esteem and cultivating gratitude for small wins To practice slow hope: 1. Acknowledge where you are. 2. Release pressure for immediate results. 3. Break large goals into manageable steps. 4. Cultivate patience through reflection. 5. Celebrate small wins along the way. This approach reduces anxiety by focusing less on perfectionism or rapid achievements while fostering gratitude for everyday victories. The Power of Patience and Gratitude The crucial role of patience in slow hope Celebrating small victories and maintaining motivation over time Transforming daily life through the practice of gratitude The Quiet Strength of Slow Hope The quiet, persistent nature of slow hope as a force for change Understanding transformation as a journey, not a race Encouragement to embrace slow hope for personal empowerment Conclusion: By incorporating these strategies into everyday life practices consistently overtime will inevitably result increased levels satisfaction derived purely living authentically aligned values held dear personally speaking too importantly so much else besides merely achieving tangible milestones alone… Have you checked out the GYLTG Empowerment Hub on Apple?

Are you feeling the pressure to make quick decisions as the new year approaches? As we step into 2025, this episode promises to change your perspective on the virtue of patience and the significance of waiting on God's perfect timing. Explore the contrast between the peaceful assurance of a shepherd's voice versus the anxiety-provoking roar of a lion, as we discuss the importance of discerning divine guidance in our fast-paced world. Learn how the often-overlooked virtue of endurance can prevent fear-driven decisions and help cultivate spiritual fruit. This episode also emphasizes aligning our actions with God's timing rather than rushing into plans and seeking divine approval afterward. Through relatable anecdotes like travel delays, we highlight how life's timing challenges can test our faith and patience. Using the metaphor of a horse and its rider, we explore the importance of waiting for God's direction before taking steps forward. Trusting in a God who operates beyond time requires submission to His plan, which in turn fosters perseverance, steadfastness, and peace amidst frustration and setbacks. Finally, reflect on the dangers of forgetfulness as we revisit stories from Exodus and Jeremiah, which illustrate the consequences of acting outside of God's guidance. These narratives remind us of the importance of continuously engaging with spiritual truths. As we look forward to the new year, I offer encouragement and guidance to help embrace these insights.

Perfection is enchanting—but it promises an end destination that doesn't exist. Yoga, if you listen carefully, asks us to turn inward, embracing tapas - disciplined effort - not as a demand for perfection but as a gentle guide through life's ups and downs.  Let's be humbled by the reminder that yoga is not a performance after all. It's a daily ritual that meets us exactly where we are. It's a letting go of comparisons, whether to others or our past selves. And through the heat of disciplined practice, we burn away our inner obstacles, confront our inertia, and find solace in the simple act of standing on the mat with breath, body, and mind. So without perfection, what does success look like in our practice? It's through tapas we discover the quiet strength that lies within. This is the heart of yoga—a transformative journey that asks us to meet ourselves every single day.   Start the journey now with your free 30-day membership on Omstars.com. Use code: PODCAST.

Chapter 1What is SolitudeOnce upon a time, there was a book called "Solitude" by Anthony Storr. In this intriguing tale, Storr explores the importance of solitude in our lives. He delves deep into the idea that spending time alone can actually enhance our creativity, self-reflection, and overall well-being.Through captivating stories and thought-provoking insights, Storr uncovers the various ways in which solitude can be a source of strength and inspiration. Whether it's taking a quiet walk in nature or simply enjoying a moment of silence, Storr reminds us that solitude is not something to be feared, but rather embraced.So, dear reader, next time you find yourself craving some alone time, remember the wise words of Storr and allow yourself the gift of solitude. Who knows what wonders it may bring into your life.Chapter 2 Meet the Writer of SolitudeAnthony Storr adeptly employs his writing skills and language style to convey the complex emotions and meanings of solitude in his work. Through vivid descriptions, evocative language, and introspective reflections, Storr is able to capture the depth and significance of solitary experiences. His use of precise and impactful language helps to evoke the feeling of being alone, the introspection that can come with solitude, and the potential for both introspection and growth that solitude can provide. Storr's writing style effectively conveys the nuances and complexities of solitude, offering readers a deep and reflective exploration of this often misunderstood experience.Chapter 3 Deeper Understanding of SolitudeSolitude has played a significant role in shaping literature, culture, and society throughout history. Many writers and artists have turned to solitude as a source of inspiration and creativity, using the quiet and reflection that comes with being alone to produce some of their most profound works.One of the most notable examples of the influence of solitude on literature is the Romantic poets, who celebrated the individual and the natural world in their works. Poets such as Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Shelley wrote about the beauty and power of solitary experiences in nature, often reflecting on the profound insights and emotions that can arise from being alone.Solitude has also had a significant impact on culture, particularly in the realm of spirituality and religious practice. Many religious traditions emphasize the importance of solitude for deepening one's connection to a higher power or achieving spiritual enlightenment. Practices such as meditation, prayer, and retreats often involve periods of solitude and silence as a means of fostering inner peace and self-discovery.In modern society, the concept of solitude has taken on new meaning in the context of digital technology and constant connectivity. Many people now view solitude as a rare and precious commodity, a chance to unplug from the noise and distractions of daily life and focus on self-care and introspection. The rise of movements such as mindfulness and digital detoxing reflects a growing recognition of the importance of solitude in maintaining mental health and well-being.Overall, solitude has the power to change people's ways of thinking by providing space for reflection, creativity, and personal growth. It has had a significant impact on various fields, from literature and art to spirituality and mental health, shaping how individuals engage with themselves and the world around them.Chapter 4 Other Accessible Resources1.

Join us as read through Luke ch. 9:46-62.As we navigate the tumultuous seas of pride and selfishness, Reflections, drawn from the humbling lessons of Luke 9:46-56, shine a light on the shadowy corners of our own egos. It's a candid journey through the tricky terrain of personal achievements and the seductive pull of group identities that often lead us astray. Together, we dissect these moments of weakness, not with scorn, but with the shared understanding that growth is rooted in the acknowledgment of our faults.Strolling through the 'Neighborhood of Self,' we visit houses that harbor various forms of pride. From the deceptive comfort of our abilities to the fierce loyalty to our tribes, we examine how these facets of identity intertwine with fear and anxiety, ultimately obstructing our trust in God's plan. The scriptures from Proverbs, Matthew, and James serve as our map, guiding us to recognize the divine values that stand in stark contrast to our prideful inclinations. It's a call to introspection, to unearth and address the pride dwelling within us, so we may walk humbly alongside Jesus.In the final strides of our episode, the power of humility and service takes center stage, inspired by the humble essence of Jesus' message. Embracing the freedom found in thinking of ourselves less often, we celebrate the intrinsic value of every individual, created in the image of God. As Memorial Day weekend approaches, we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice and the joy that blooms from diminishing in our own eyes to magnify God's presence in our lives. Join us for a soulful discussion on the pursuit of gospel humility, the joy it brings, and the bold faith it nurtures within us.

Introverted leaders are often overlooked, but they have a unique set of strengths that can be incredibly valuable in the workplace. In this video, we'll discuss the strengths of introverted leaders, how they lead, the challenges they face, and how to overcome them. Introverted leaders are often good listeners, deep thinkers, and highly empathetic. They are also detail-oriented and enjoy digging deep into problems to find well-considered solutions. These strengths can make them incredibly valuable in leadership roles, where they can use their ability to listen, think, and empathize to build strong relationships with their team members, make sound decisions, and solve problems effectively. However, introverted leaders also face some challenges. They may be misunderstood by their colleagues, who may see them as aloof or lacking in dynamism.
