Understand why the current housing market is so challenging, how people can afford to buy a home, and what’s next for interest rates.
How are people able to afford to buy a home in the current housing market? When will houses be affordable again? Hosts Anna Helhoski and Tess Vigeland (filling in for Sean) discuss the current state of the housing market with NerdWallet home and mortgages expert Holden Lewis, exploring factors such as high mortgage rates, slow home sales, and high prices. They explore the various factors that have made homebuying so difficult and what potential buyers can do to navigate this tough market.
Then, they break down the latest money headlines, including student loan forgiveness being blocked in two states, the IRS running into customer service issues, and a new California law that will add financial literacy to high school curriculums.
