On The Market
Outro
Closing remarks, thanks to listeners, and final sponsor reminders and sign-offs.
The housing market is seeing a (surprisingly) positive trend. Yes, even with all those YouTube channels showing you “empty” houses, it seems that homebuyers, especially millennials, are getting back into the game. This is excellent news for agents, lenders, title companies, sellers, and flippers. So, what’s the “positive” trend we’re seeing?
We’re back with another headline episode to get you up to date on the housing market in just around half an hour. First, new data points to housing demand increasing as mortgage rates stay away from their 7%+ highs. Is there a path to 5% interest rates in the near future? Yes, but the road to it won’t be pretty. Here’s what would have to happen for us to get there.
Can you guess the top 10 cities with the largest price drops in the US? We’re sharing the complete list in this episode, with some surprising cities near the top. Finally, we’ll discuss the massive layoffs from tech, including Amazon’s recent firing of over 10,000 well-paid employees. If you live in an area where these layoffs are happening, the market could see a noticeable shift.
