It’s no secret that the property market has been out of the ordinary, but how far from the norm have things actually deviated? While a quick scan of recent headlines may lead to the assumption that the U.S. is facing a brewing housing bubble, the reality of the country’s economics and the future of the property market is far more complex.

In this episode, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with CoreLogic Principal Economist Molly Boesel about the top three myths that are currently circulating within the property market, which of these claims are false and which ones have grown from a grain of truth into urban legend.

At CoreLogic, one of the areas we keep close tabs on is

how weather and climate affect property as this can directly affect not only

homeowners but also insurers. While the CoreLogic Hazard HQ team keeps tabs on

an assortment of catastrophic weather events, one of the costliest but least

talked about is hail. And spring is hail season here in the U.S.

Host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with meteorologist

and Senior Leader Curtis McDonald to answer some questions such as how much

damage does hail inflict and how is this damage measured? How rampant is

insurance fraud resulting from hailstorms? What can we expect from this year’s

hail season?

Natural disasters can have long-term effects on a community. As noted in our 2021 Hurricane Report, lower-income homeowners are left with few options when homes are destroyed. When affected homes are deemed unsuitable for habitation, displaced people may resort to living at motels and similar, creating added expenses. Natural catastrophes can result in financial hardship as people struggle with additional expenses.

In this episode, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with Amy Gromowski, senior leader of science and analytics at CoreLogic, to discuss financial implications as a result of natural disasters.

Real properties have a jumble of identifiers rather than a single standardized number that clearly defines each piece of property. Often, these overlapping and incomplete data sets of property information can result in a mess that takes hours to unravel before the property data is clean enough to use.

In this episode, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith sits down with Sachin Rajpal, head of enterprise data at CoreLogic, about this issue and the impactful ways that CoreLogic is solving it.
