What this episode covers

The 2024 housing market was nothing short of "wild," to put it lightly. We came from years of unprecedented growth, rock-bottom mortgage rates, and fiery homebuyer demand. While some predicted a housing market crash, we were quite sure that real estate prices would stay stable—and that’s precisely what happened! So, before we enter the 2025 housing market, we’re recapping 2024 with all its trends and surprises so you don’t get caught off guard next year! We’re touching on the big topics: prices, inventory, affordability, best and worst markets, and the commercial real estate crash. Why did prices RISE even when buyer demand fell significantly? Why did the existing housing inventory stay so low? And is now the best time to buy multifamily after its massive value drop in 2024? Get prepared to make 2025 your best year yet, but don’t make the same mistakes of the past. Stick around; we’re giving you your 2024 housing market in review! In This Episode We Cover: The biggest trends (and surprises) of the 2024 housing market Why did home prices rise in 2024 even with buyer demand so low? Our affordability crisis keeping many Americans renting instead of buying The commercial real estate crash and why multifamily is seriously struggling now Hottest (and coldest) real estate markets that nobody would have expected The cities that are seeing the most rent price growth (and some with the least) And So Much More!
