Mortgage Rates, Rising Inventory & Regional Trends: A Market Breakdown with Andy Walden

What is going on with mortgage rates, inventory, and delinquencies? In this episode of The Real Wealth Show, housing market expert Andy Walden joins us to break down the latest trends shaping real estate in 2025. We dive into key market dynamics—from rising housing inventory and slowing home price growth to shifting mortgage rates and regional market opportunities. Andy explains how improving affordability, increased mortgage applications, and historically low delinquency rates point to a market that's stabilizing, not crashing. We also explore how today's real estate landscape compares to the 2006 housing crisis—and why this time is different. 00:56 Intercontinental Exchange 01:48 ICE's Monthly Mortgage Report 07:48 Housing Crash? 08:53 Today vs 2006 11:49 Recession? 13:35 Regional Trends LINKS: OUR GUEST Andy Walden:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andy-walden Website: https://www.ice.com/ JOIN RealWealth® FOR FREE https://tinyurl.com/joinrws1052 FOLLOW OUR PODCASTS The Real Wealth Show: Real Estate Investing Podcast https://link.chtbl.com/RWS Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast: https://link.chtbl.com/REN FREE RealWealth® EDUCATION & TOOLS RealWealth Market Reports: https://realwealth.com/learn/best-places-to-buy-rental-property/ RealWealth Videos: https://realwealth.com/category/video/ RealWealth Assessment™: https://realwealth.com/assessment/ READ BOOKS BY RealWealth® FOUNDERS The Wise Investor by Rich Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/thewiseinvestorbook RealWealth® Webinars: https://realwealth.com/webinars/ Retire Rich with Rentals by Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/retirerichwithrentals Scaling Smart by Rich & Kathy Fettke: https://tinyurl.com/scalingsmart DISCLAIMER The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are provided for informational purposes only, and should not be construed as an offer to buy or sell any securities or to make or consider any investment or course of action.
