2367: This Week in Real Estate: What Every Investor Must Know Now

Michael Zuber and Jason Hartman, are forecasting economic and housing trends for 2026. They discuss several key variables, including the unemployment rate, which Hartman predicts will slightly increase due to automation and artificial intelligence, but argues this will ultimately lead to greater prosperity and new industries. The conversation then shifts to interest rates, with Jason expressing optimism for rates hovering around six percent, partly due to the Federal Reserve's move back into quantitative easing (QE), which he believes will positively impact the housing market by increasing credit availability. They anticipate modest GDP growth and increased home sales volume for 2026, rejecting crash scenarios and predicting home price appreciation of around 3-4%. They conclude by affirming that inflation is the government's likely strategy to manage massive debt, which they see as a hidden wealth creator for real estate investors through inflation-induced debt destruction. #2026EconomicVariables #UnemploymentU3 #RisingUnemployment #AIandAutomation #IncreasedProductivity #InsatiableWants #EconomicProsperity #LuxurySectors #SpasAndMedSpas #CarAsAService #LowerInterestRates #QuantitativeEasing #MoneySupply #MortgageCreditAvailabilityIndex #HousingLockinEffect #AffordableHousing #NoForeclosureCrisis #MBSBuyingGameChanger #ScarceInventory #HousingPriceAppreciation #GDPBullish #ResilientEconomy #TheConsumer #InflationInducedDebtDestruction #RealEstateWealthCreation   Key Takeaways: 1:43 Where do you think these things go in 2026 9:39 Money supply and Quantitative Easing (QE) 13:46 GDPs and Recession calls 15:39 A crash in transactions versus price 17:58 The consumer  19:14 6 Ways to get out of this mess   Transcript HERE   Follow Jason on TWITTER, INSTAGRAM & LINKEDIN Twitter.com/JasonHartmanROI Instagram.com/jasonhartman1/ Linkedin.com/in/jasonhartmaninvestor/ Call our Investment Counselors at: 1-800-HARTMAN (US) or visit: https://www.jasonhartman.com/ Free Class:  Easily get up to $250,000 in funding for real estate, business or anything else: http://JasonHartman.com/Fund CYA Protect Your Assets, Save Taxes & Estate Planning: http://JasonHartman.com/Protect Get wholesale real estate deals for investment or build a great business – Free Course: https://www.jasonhartman.com/deals Special Offer from Ron LeGrand: https://JasonHartman.com/Ron Free Mini-Book on Pandemic Investing: https://www.PandemicInvesting.com
