The U.S. housing market is flashing new signs of slowdown—multifamily construction is plummeting, and the spring homebuying season is off to one of its weakest starts in years. In today’s episode, we break down Redfin’s latest analysis showing a 27% drop in new multifamily permits compared to the pandemic boom, with many metros like Stockton, CA and Colorado Springs seeing construction nearly grind to a halt. At the same time, sky-high monthly payments and economic jitters are keeping buyers on the sidelines, even as inventory ticks up. We’ll explore which metros are still building, where demand is drying up, and what it all means for the future of housing supply and pricing power.

Home sellers are stuck in the past—and buyers aren’t having it. In today’s episode, we break down the growing gap between what sellers are asking and what buyers are actually paying, with the typical home now listed 9% higher than its final sale price. We’ll explain why the disconnect is widening, where the biggest gaps are happening, and what it means for negotiations in today’s market. Plus, we’ll cover the Trump administration’s new push to open up federal land for housing development—a move that could reshape inventory in key western states but faces major infrastructure and environmental hurdles.

The housing market in 2024 and 2025 is standing on much stronger footing than it was during the frenzy of the pandemic years. Despite some headlines claiming demand is crashing, the data tells a different story. Existing home sales are holding steady, purchase applications are rising year-over-year, inventory is growing, and price growth is cooling to healthier levels. In this episode, we break down why the market’s reset is good news for the future — and why resilience, not collapse, is the real theme of today’s housing economy.
