Housing Unaffordable! Prices must CRASH

In this episode, I address the growing concerns about housing affordability and the predictions of a market crash. We analyze historical data from the early 1980s to understand the impact of high mortgage payments on home prices and transactions. We also discuss the current trends in new construction, home builder price adjustments, and the implications of the upcoming Fed meeting. Join me as I break down the facts and debunk the myths surrounding the housing market's future.
