In today's show, Mark Minnella, Seth Udinski, and Sam Case explore developments in the housing market, including institutional home buying, interest rates, construction costs, and zoning pressures affecting affordability. The conversation highlights recent market movements around the Santa rally narrative and introduces perspectives on precious metals, with a deeper discussion on silver supply, demand, and market behavior. The hosts also discuss how these trends connect to broader economic conditions and faith centered financial stewardship. Become a Financial Issues Partner today!
