Real Estate Market is Broken But for How Long

In this episode, we dive deep into the current state of the real estate market, analyzing the latest pending home sales data and discussing the broader economic implications. With interest rates hovering above 7%, we explore how this is impacting buyer behavior and market activity. I share insights on why the move-up buyer segment is essentially frozen and how this stasis is likely to persist. Additionally, we examine the commercial real estate sector, particularly focusing on multifamily properties, and highlight the opportunities for savvy investors in today's market. We also touch on recent corporate earnings and their signals about consumer sentiment and economic health. [00:00] - Introduction and overview of recent pending home sales data.
