Quick takeaways
- The housing market is expected to thaw with sellers starting to list their homes and buyers adjusting to higher mortgage rates.
- The closure of the IPO window and increased interest rates have made fundraising more challenging for startups, but it is also a good time to start a company due to the current malaise in big tech companies, which makes it easier to recruit talent.

Expectations of Thawing Housing Market and IPOs in 2024
Analysts predict a potential thawing in the housing market and the market for initial public offerings (IPOs) in 2024. This is dependent on the stock market's bullish momentum and falling mortgage rates. In the last year, both the housing market and IPOs experienced a slowdown, with IPOs in 2022 raising the lowest amount of money on record. However, the stock market has shown some upward movement, indicating possible uncertainty. Spencer Raskoff, co-founder of Zillow, discusses the current situation in the markets and highlights the importance of platform shifts for new players to emerge in the real estate industry.
