Many prospective homebuyers may find themselves locked out of the market again this year. What key signs should buyers watch for in the coming months? In the final episode of our special series, “Buying a Home in 2025: Navigating the Crunch,” host Ariana Aspuru takes a closer look at the ongoing challenges facing the housing market, with Wall Street Journal reporters Veronica Dagher and Nicole Friedman, and Redfin's chief economist, Daryl Fairweather.

#596: Yesterday, the White House rolled out the biggest tariffs in a century, sending markets into their worst decline since the pandemic. While headlines focus on supply chains and inflation, there are important economic stories you're not hearing about. During the first half of this month's First Friday episode, we dig into what nobody's talking about. And in the second half, we grapple with the headlines. Student loan rules just changed again. The government added new limits to Public Service Loan Forgiveness. Right now, 9.2 million people — one in five borrowers — can't keep up with payments. Many folks don't even know payments started again after that four-and-a-half-year break. S&P just dropped a new report that backs what smart money already knows: index funds crush actively managed funds 90 percent of the time. Even with all those tech stocks dominating the market, you still come out ahead with simple indexing. You know who's gobbling up the mortgage market? Rocket Companies. They just bought both Redfin and Mr. Cooper. They'll handle one of every six mortgages in America. They've positioned themselves at every step of the homebuying journey — from when you search for homes on Redfin to financing and monthly payments for the next 30 years. The White House just made a surprising move with Bitcoin. They're setting up a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve to hold coins long-term. They're also creating a separate stockpile for crypto they seize in legal cases. Pretty clear signal that Bitcoin stands apart from other cryptocurrencies. In the second half, we dive into those significant new tariffs making headlines.  The S&P 500 dropped 4.8 percent on Thursday — we haven't seen a drop like that since the pandemic. The new rules put at least a 10 percent tariff on everything coming into the country. Then come the "reciprocal" rates: 20 percent for European goods, 27 percent for items from India, and a combined 65 percent for Chinese imports. We bring in Bob Elliott to make sense of this situation. His credentials are impressive — he spent 13 years at Bridgewater Associates (the world's largest hedge fund), served as head of Ray Dalio's investment team, and graduated magna cum laude from Harvard.  During the 2008 crisis, he directly advised the Treasury, Federal Reserve, and White House.  Bob offers a reality check about bringing back manufacturing jobs: you can't build factories overnight. These investments take years, and companies hesitate to make 30-year commitments when policies change every few months. Bob breaks down four economic forces all hitting at once: tariffs jacking up prices, government cutting spending, tax policies on hold, and the Fed moving like molasses. Put them together? Yikes. He doesn't sugarcoat it — the short-term outlook looks "pretty negative." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In Episode 239 of The Only Real Estate Podcast Worth Listening To, hosts Nick Good and Matt Kelderman break down a massive shift in the real estate landscape — and why agents like you need to be paying attention.Rocket Mortgage is no longer just a lender. With its recent acquisitions of Redfin and Mr. Cooper, it's becoming a vertically integrated powerhouse that could dramatically impact how clients buy, sell, and finance homes — without ever talking to a traditional real estate agent.In this episode, Nick and Matt cover:✅ What Rocket's acquisition of Mr. Cooper really means✅ Why their 83% client recapture rate should scare every lender and agent✅ The real threat of data-driven platforms that offer one-click mortgage and real estate solutions✅ How to future-proof your real estate business with branding, better systems, and client experience✅ What “platformification” means and how it's shaping the industry's next waveWhether you're an agent, lender, team leader, or broker, this is one episode you can't afford to miss.

Send us a textMortgage payments have hit an unprecedented milestone in the housing market, reaching an all-time high of $2,807 during March 2025. This record surge arrives alongside a 3% year-over-year increase in median home sales prices, while mortgage rates hover around 6.67%. Yet amid these challenging affordability conditions, a ray of hope emerges – new home listings have increased by 7.5% compared to last year, offering the most significant inventory expansion we've seen in 2025.The numbers tell a fascinating story of market psychology. Despite more homes becoming available, pending sales have actually decreased by 4.6% year-over-year. This disconnect reveals how economic uncertainty is reshaping buyer behavior across different regions. Washington DC buyers are approaching purchases with heightened caution, many citing concerns about potential layoffs and job stability. Meanwhile, Los Angeles demonstrates an opposite trend, with pending sales rising after five consecutive weeks of decline as affluent buyers re-enter the market.These regional variations highlight why local expertise remains invaluable in today's real estate landscape. Several Midwest neighborhoods are currently experiencing exceptional activity, ranked among Redfin's hottest markets. For sellers, increased inventory means more competition and the need for strategic pricing, while buyers face the paradox of more options coupled with persistent affordability challenges.

Traditionally, there have only been two ways for a REALTOR® to list a home for sale - either exclusively to their company or openly on the MLS and internet. But the National Association of REALTORS® this past week announced a third way that they are going to allow homes to be listed - on MLS but without the listing being immediately syndicated out to other websites (like Zillow, homes.com, realtor.com, Redfin, etc.).  Why would a seller want their home listed this way? Well, there are actually several scenarios where it could make sense, but I'm more interested in the big picture potential outcomes of this new policy. The aforementioned websites that rely heavily on MLS listings being syndicated to them would suffer badly if even 10% of listings didn't show up on their platforms. So in doing this, was the NAR shooting a "shot across the bow" at those websites, potentially threatening to end their reign atop the real estate information food chain? It's an interesting possibility and one we have to consider quite seriously.  As always, if you have any questions or comments (or, of course, need a realtor), feel free to reach out to Stan McCune directly by phone/text at (973) 479-1267 or by email at smccune@cdanjoyner.com.

This Week in Real Estate (tWiRE) Episode 311 unpacks a wild week of housing headlines—from legal showdowns to market shakeups. We're covering everything agents, buyers, and investors need to know:

Rocket — the company behind Rocket Mortgage — has struck a $9.5 billion deal to buy Mr. Cooper, a company that focuses mainly on collecting mortgage payments. That comes less than a month after Rocket bought online real estate brokerage Redfin. What’s behind the buying binge? Then, as part of our ongoing Tricks to the Trade series, we hear tips and reflections from flower purveyors at London’s New Covent Garden Market.

It's no secret that real estate commissions have been in the danger zone for a while now. And with moves like Rocket Mortgage snatching up Redfin, it's clear that real estate professionals need to fight fire with fire. Well thanks to a new dual-licensing program, we might just have the ultimate weapon to turn up the volume on our production!  Most real estate agents have to pass their clients off to a mortgage officer and watch them take a piece of the pie. What if you could handle the whole process yourself, and keep more of the money…all with one simple link?  Here's the thing: real estate pros who understand the money behind the transaction are way more valuable. By adding loan origination to your toolkit, not only are you protecting your income, but you're also setting yourself up to earn way more per transaction.  What is the program and how do you get into it? In this episode, I'm joined by Teresa Grobecker, an absolute rockstar in real estate, fintech and proptech. She shares all the details on how to jump on this dual-licensing train, and how it makes us more valuable.    Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Capture the whole process  Most real estate agents have to refer their buyers to a mortgage officer. What if you controlled the entire process?  Understand the finances  Why are agents who don't understand the money side of buying/selling homes at a huge disadvantage?  Just another tool in your value-add toolkit  The more skills and competencies we have, the more valuable we are. How do we put ourselves in a position to service more people and earn more money per transaction?    Guest Bio Teresa Grobecker is a recognized innovator in the real estate, fintech, and proptech sectors.

  Highlights * Rocket Mortgage has officially acquired Redfin, aiming to create a fully digital real estate ecosystem.* Concerns arise over the long-term impacts of removing human roles like loan officers and agents.* Experts emphasize the need for accurate, realistic market analysis as predictions continue to fall short.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens is joined by Jay Kinder and Andrew Lafountain for a no-holds-barred deep dive into what's happening right now in the real estate industry—and where it's all heading. From Rocket's acquisition of Redfin to leadership shifts at top brokerages, the guys unpack the chaos, opportunities, and strategy agents need to understand if they want to stay ahead in 2025 and beyond. This episode is part market analysis, part future forecasting, and 100% real talk from top industry leaders who've seen it all—and are still leading from the front. Key Topics Covered Redfin, Rocket & the Race to the Bottom Why Rocket acquired Redfin—and what they're really after (hint: not the agents). Redfin's failed bet on low-fee, low-skill agent models. Why consumers ultimately don't want cheap—they want value. What this move signals about the future of real estate portals and tech platforms. The Legacy Brokerage Shakeup Why franchise models (KW, Anywhere, Berkshire) are struggling to evolve. Lawsuits, territorial issues, and brand dilution. The difference between iconic brands and actual value propositions in today's market. Why the agent—not the company—is the brand now. Cloud-Based Brokerages: Who's Winning & Why How eXp navigated 20K–80K agent growth profitably—a feat unmatched in the industry. The co-sponsorship game-changer and what it unlocks for agent partnerships. Why most “me-too” cloud brokerages will fail (and some already are). What sets eXp's leadership apart: Leo Pareja and Glenn Sanford's agility, vision, and agent-first focus. Real's Leadership Shift & What It Reveals The abrupt exit of Sharran Srivatsaa from day-to-day operations. Why losing a charismatic visionary can signal deeper cracks. Why copycat models without culture or core values can't scale sustainably. The hard truth: Without operational excellence, fast growth leads to faster breakdowns. Actionable Takeaways Don't be seduced by legacy brands—they don't control the customer experience you do. As a cloud brokerage, operational excellence at scale is the new battleground. Align yourself with a platform that evolves fast, values agents, and puts your growth first. Pay attention to leadership exits—it's often a signal of turbulence ahead. If you've been sitting on the sidelines, now is the time to move—before the next wave explodes. Resources Mentioned eXp Realty – The platform powering agent-first success.

Buyers are finally funneling back to the housing market thanks to recently lower mortgage rates. But, we've still got a BIG housing problem to fix—undersupply. What's President Trump's plan to put more houses on the map? Freedom cities! By turning federal lands into high-tech hubs for workers, we may be able to solve our housing shortage. Is this possible, or are “freedom cities” just a far-off developer dream? We're getting into this headline and all the others filling your newsfeed in today's episode! Home prices are about to PLUMMET…says one article for a select few property types. While much of this might be clickbait, James does think it's time to scoop up some sweet property deals on second homes in hot vacation markets. With good value, economic weakness putting pressure on sellers, and long-term upside, this could be a solid move to make! Want to pay even LESS to a real estate agent? That's what everyone says, but it doesn't seem like that's what everyone wants as Redfin gets bought out by Rocket Companies. Is the low-cost real estate agent model finally about to bite the dust, or could Rocket turn things around, bringing buyers a whole new suite of low-cost services? Stick around; we're sharing our thoughts! In This Episode We Cover Trump's plan to trade federal lands for “freedom cities” that could increase housing inventory Fed rate cut update: Should we still expect rate cuts sometime in 2025? Great news for real estate agents and lenders as sales accelerate thanks to lower interest rates  One type of rental property that could be a killer deal in 2025 (in SOME markets) The end (or beginning) of Redfin as Rocket Companies buys out the low-cost-agent brokerage And So Much More!

Send us a textRentership rates across the United States have climbed to a nine-year high of 36% according to fresh Redfin data, marking a significant shift in the housing landscape as we move through 2025. This growing preference—or necessity—for renting over homeownership tells a compelling story about affordability challenges that continue to shape real estate markets nationwide.Major metropolitan areas like Austin, San Francisco, and Miami are experiencing skyrocketing rents, yet the demand shows no signs of slowing down. This trend is creating substantial opportunities for real estate investors focused on multifamily properties, while simultaneously reshaping population distribution as people seek more affordable living options. The paradox of rising rents alongside unattainable homeownership is pushing more Americans toward long-term renting situations that were once considered temporary.Despite these affordability hurdles, February 2025 home prices increased to a median of $403,000—up 2.7% year over year. What's particularly fascinating is where this growth is happening: smaller suburban markets are seeing appreciation while larger urban centers like Los Angeles and New York are experiencing noticeable price declines. This geographic divergence highlights a migration pattern driven by value-seeking buyers who want more space for their money. Meanwhile, mortgage rates continue their volatile journey, currently sitting around 6.9% for 30-year fixed loans after fluctuating with the 10-year Treasury yield. For prospective buyers, the timing question becomes increasingly critical as rates threaten to climb higher.Want to navigate these complex market conditions and build wealth through real estate?

In this episode of Industry Relations, Rob and Greg break down three major real estate bombshells—the rumored Compass acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS), the Redfin-Rocket merger, and the potential shake-up of NAR's Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP). They discuss whether Compass is actually in talks with BHHS or if this is just Wall Street speculation, how Redfin and Rocket could disrupt the brokerage model, and why NAR might be making CCP optional to dodge legal liability.  Key Takeaways • Compass x BHHS Rumors: Wall Street Journal reported that Compass was acquiring BHHS—but BHHS CEO Gino Blefari strongly denied it. So what's the truth? • The Redfin-Rocket Power Move: Why Rocket's mortgage empire could turn Redfin into Zillow's biggest competitor—and how Respa exemptions give them an edge. • NAR's CCP Shake-Up: Is NAR making CCP optional just to shift legal liability onto MLSs? Rob and Greg debate whether this is NAR's “race to irrelevance.” • Does Warren Buffett Want Out of Real Estate?: If BHHS is actually up for sale, what does that say about the future of traditional brokerages? • How the MLS Landscape Could Change: If MLSs get to decide CCP for themselves, will we see regional MLS battles over compliance and cooperation?   Be the first to see the new app, Tuesday!
