Homebuilder sentiment is down for the ninth consecutive month.

This episode is sponsored by Nexo.io, Chainalysis and FTX US. 

On today’s episode, NLW looks at the housing market, which has shifted dramatically in the last six months. Mortgages today cost more than double what they did last year – the biggest year-over-year jump since those numbers started being recorded in 1975. Homebuilder sentiment is down for the ninth consecutive month – the first time that’s happened since 1985. All in all, the picture being painted isn’t pretty. Is it a “housing recession?”
