No matter the position still being maintained by Dave Ramsey and other social media influencers, the housing recession is upon us. The National Association of Realtors has actually called it a recession, among others, and no amount of wishful thinking will make it not so.
In today's episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and his co-host take a victory lap as the numbers and the pundits appear to agree with what they have been calling all along: A housing recession.
They discuss recent comments by Nancy Wallace, the Lisle and Roslyn Payne Chair in Real Estate Capital Markets at Berkeley Haas, who has stated that non-banks are poorly capitalized, as well as the decision by Loan Depot to close down their entire wholesale division.
Chris shares a rather scary report from Redfin, where analysts said real estate investors bought 18.4% of homes sold in the fourth quarter of 2021, up from 12.6% a year earlier. That means real estate investors effectively own 20% of the market now nationally.
They also explore a recent Wall Street Journal article stating that 4 in 10 employers are rescinding job offers, and a similar amount are reducing or eliminating the sign-on bonuses that had become common to attract talent in a tight job market.
This is a show you do not want to miss! Join Chris for this fascinating conversation.
Enjoy!
