The Hidden Risk for Retirees Counting on Home Equity May 20, 2026

Show notes

For decades, homeownership has been one of America's most trusted paths to building wealth. But what happens when that equity doesn't deliver the financial security retirees expect?

In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down new research showing that older homeowners may be selling their homes for less than younger sellers, often due to deferred maintenance, outdated properties, and the growing appeal of quick cash offers.
