The people, companies and trends shaping the global economy. Watch Carol and Tim LIVE every day on YouTube: http://bit.ly/3vTiACF.

The K-shaped economy has frozen homeowners in place, as middle-income buyers can afford only 21% of homes on the market (down from 50% pre-pandemic). Homeowners are sitting on historic 3% to 4% mortgages that they absolutely refuse to surrender. Because inventory is virtually nonexistent, moving simply isn't an option for most. Since they can't move, we see them choosing to reinvest in their current homes instead. They can't buy up. They can't move. So they're renovating.
