In fact, Ed Pinto, senior fellow and co-director at the AEI Housing Center explained why land may be the most valuable type of capital in the real estate market on the Keys to Real Estate. He shared some compelling insights with October Research Chief Knowledge Officer Mary Schuster on why this is so and wagged a finger at inflexible jurisdictions with their strict policies governing the types of housing developers are able to build. He dug into the implications of such policies in terms of home prices and what industry advocates may be able to do about it.
