About this episode
Years of housing market gains could be at risk, and it’s not because of mortgage rates, the Fed, or the US government…it’s because of sellers.
Since 2022, we’ve seen housing inventory rise, home prices stabilize (and fall in many major markets), and affordability slightly improve for buyers (thanks to higher supply and lower demand). But now, a new wave of “delistings” could put the future of the housing market in jeopardy. Sellers are refusing to settle, and they’re walking away at the fastest pace in eight years.
So, what’s next? A housing crash? A continued correction? If the delistings continue, one scenario could come to fruition, and it’s not what buyers want to hear. Dave walks through the new delistings data in this episode and shares some startling statistics on just how bad things are for young Americans. If the next generation can’t buy or rent a home…what happens to the economy?
