Is the South (and Just the South) in a Recession? Jun 13, 2025

Show notes

The South may be in trouble. While inflation remains elevated in the Northeast and Midwest due to persistent housing costs, the South is showing clear signs of a slowdown. In this episode, we break down Bloomberg columnist Conor Sen’s latest analysis on why Southern states like Texas, Florida, and Tennessee are at greater risk of an economic drag. With rising housing inventory, stalled construction, and slowing price growth, regional divides are deepening. We also look at how the Fed’s rate policy and new legislation out of Washington could make the situation worse.

The Spring Market Was the Worst In Years, But Could Summer Be Better? Jun 12, 2025

Show notes

Pending home sales have hit their lowest level for this time of year since 2015, as high mortgage rates and rising prices continue to sideline buyers. Meanwhile, sellers are cutting deals: Just 28.5% of homes sold above asking, and the median sale price is nearly $29,000 below the median list price.

But with the economy suddenly showing signs of strength, will the summer market prove to be better?

New Inflation Data Comes in Below Expectations—Will the Fed Shift Course? Jun 11, 2025

Show notes

In today’s episode, we unpack the latest Consumer Price Index report showing underlying U.S. inflation rose just 0.1% in May, extending a four-month streak of soft data. We explore what’s driving the slowdown, how tariffs are (and aren’t) hitting consumers, and why economists are watching core goods and wage growth closely as the Fed eyes a potential rate cut.

Then we turn to New York City, where a sweeping new law just eliminated upfront broker fees for many renters. That could mean thousands of dollars in savings—but landlords are already planning workarounds, including rent hikes. We’ll break down what this means for tenant mobility, apartment affordability, and the ongoing power struggle between landlords and lawmakers.

Trump Administration to Potentially Limit Rental Assistance and Implement New Work Requirements Jun 05, 2025

Show notes

HUD is working on a proposed rule that would let more housing authorities cut off federal rental aid after two years and require recipients to work—without Congress passing a new law. In today’s episode, we break down what’s in the rule, why housing advocates are alarmed, and how HUD might legally justify this move under the federal rulemaking process. We’ll also explore how similar past efforts failed and what this could mean for renters, landlords, and developers alike.

Delinquencies Hold Steady For Single-Family Homes, But Multifamily is Struggling Jun 04, 2025

Show notes

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae reported a slight drop in serious mortgage delinquencies for single-family homes in April, signaling a bit of relief for homeowners. But beneath the surface, a very different story is playing out in the multifamily sector. While homeowners benefit from low fixed rates and rising equity, many multifamily investors are finding themselves stuck with maturing loans and no easy refinance options. Meanwhile, ICE data shows price growth is cooling—especially in the condo market. Today’s episode breaks down what this all means for real estate investors, lenders, and the broader market.
