We also take a hard look at the reluctance of institutional buyers to invest in homes due to unfavorable math and cap rates, and evaluate the potential impact of changing state tax policies. Join us as we traverse through the complexities of the current market by comparing it with past trends, and explore the intricate links between consumer sentiment, the stock market, and home values.
