In this episode, Nik is joined by housing analyst Melody Wright to discuss the US residential real estate market. In a sweeping analysis of why the housing market is heading for a very troublesome 2025, Melody details the inventory issues in Texas and Florida due to pocket listings, private equity, and other forms of distressed borrowing arrangements. She also explains what Americans should do in their search for a home, especially in new construction. Also discussed are millennials' investments in Airbnb properties, trends in rents, the Fed's interest rate path, and Freddie Mac's home equity underwriting program.
