INTERVIEW: What the looming Recession means for Seattle. Sep 18, 2019

Show notes

This is NOT a standard episode of the Ron & Don Show. Ron here... I've been seeing the word "Recession" a lot in the news and I have several people ask me about it in terms of buying or selling a house. So I took the opportunity to call up Matthew Gardner, the Chief Economist for Windermere. Side note: Windermere is the only Real Estate company in the region that has their own economist, so it was a nice resource to have at my disposal. • We cover the basic concepts of a recession. • Is this the same thing as in 2008? • What does this mean for the big tech companies like Microsoft and Amazon? • How will this effect real estate in the PNW? • Should you tap the brakes if you were thinking about buying a house? • Here's a link to Gardner's blog if you want more info from him. • Here's a link to Ron Upshaw's Blog if you'd like to read more about this conversation.
