2024 was expected to be the year of relief for current & future homeowners. Rates were expected to come down, prices were supposed to be more favorable, and overall availability was supposed to rise. But things haven't progressed much in that way. Recent numbers from Redfin tell a different story and the NAR lawsuit is expected to not do much for first-time buyers. What other parts of the story are we missing, and what can we predict for the future?

Welcome back to the Real Estate Rundown! A theory popped up on TikTok from user @dylanjpalladino stating that the economy isn't crashing because of the little treats we give ourselves. One little drink or snack here or there on your credit card. It doesn't seem like too much, but it is enough to stimulate enough growth in our economy. But with credit card debt being at an all-time high, is this growth just being propped up by debt and not actual cash? And does this uncertain spending influence the random spikes and declines in interest rates? The DOJ released a statement of interest on the Nosalek Commission Lawsuit settlement. Stating that they don't believe they did enough to settle and was just a payment rather than a structural change.
