Today, Jason discusses an article about Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored entity, which reported a significant profit increase and expects a 3.9% rise in home prices despite a looming recession. He emphasizes the resilience of the housing market and how first-time homebuyers are still active despite rising home prices and decreased affordability. The low delinquency rate, high credit scores, and significant down payments reflect the strong state of the housing market. Jason also teases upcoming content on rental income trends.

Then Jason finishes his interview with John Williams. They discuss various economic and real estate trends, including the impact of regulations on housing markets. They also touch on central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and their potential surveillance implications. The conversation delves into the inflationary environment and how it might affect property owners and investors. The hosts emphasize the importance of having options and diversification in the face of changing economic landscapes. Additionally, they mention the potential conversion of office buildings into homeless shelters, which could impact downtown property values and businesses negatively. Overall, Jason and John provide insights into the current economic climate and offers advice on how to navigate the challenges ahead.
