I check in on the year-over-year data to get a good snapshot of the national real estate market as we close out Q1 2026.

According to recent reporting from the Wall Street Journal, mortgage rates have moved back up into the mid-6% range — around 6.5%. And that’s a big deal because the housing market had just started to respond to lower rates earlier this year, but now, that trend may be reversing.

As a follow up to a show I did a few weeks ago, I discuss how Miami’s real estate market is split into two completely different markets, moving in different directions.

As tensions continue to escalate between the U.S. and Iran, mortgage rates continue to rise, and buyer demand continues to falter, due to the bond market pricing in inflation due to higher oil prices. What could happen to the housing market if these tensions continue for much longer than we would like?

1 in 5 Home sellers are cutting their asking prices in several major metros in the U.S. I discuss where this is happening the most and whether or not we should be concerned.

The 30 year-fixed mortgage rate has been steadily rising over the past several weeks. This couldn’t come at a worst time for the housing market. I discuss why I think this is happening and if it is sustainable.

In part two of this two part series, I get much more specific on housing affordability by going over the top 10 most affordable and top 10 least affordable metros in the United States.

On today’s show, I take a deeper look into housing affordability by checking in on the National Association of Realtors (NAR) housing and affordability index, and a similar study done by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Just where are the most and least affordable regions of the United States?

The number of homebuyers in the U.S. housing market is at record lows, even as low as during the COVID pandemic lockdown year! Will this lackluster demand in U.S. real estate ultimately lead to an imminent housing crash or collapse? I discuss the data and give you my opinion on what I think this really means for the market now and going forward.

Foreclosure rates are rising year over year. That’s a bad trend for the real estate market. I dive into the best and worst states with foreclosure rates and dig into some analysis as to why one of them made the worse list.

Every homebuyer thinks they can time the market and wait for lower home values. Is that the right strategy if you are buying your first home? I discuss that and why you need to remain open minded.

Plenty of homeowners have accumulated substantial equity in their primary residences or other investment properties over the years. I go over how a HELOC might be a way to leverage that equity for a down payment on another property if it’s done right.

The DSCR loan offered by lenders for real estate investors has gained a lot of popularity over the last few years. I explain what it is and who it can work best for.

According to the headlines the Miami real estate market appears to be booming. I look into perception vs. reality of this local market and how others may be looking similar.

The 2024 presidential election is now over. I discuss what I see happening right now in the real estate market, and what some new policies that could take effect have on the real estate market going forward.

The 30-year fixed mortgage rate has crept back up to 7% over the past month. However, should this continue going higher into the next several months? I tackle that and explain more about where I think rates are going based on several factors and data points I uncover on today’s show.

If you’re a Realtor are you seeing stale listings? Are you a seller or homebuilder noticing that your home or property is simply not selling and just sitting on the market for a very long time? There are several reasons for this and I will break down all of them in this episode.
