Pending Home Sales Rise While Builder Confidence Still Lags

In this episode of Real Estate Jerky Daily, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down the latest housing market data, including a stronger than expected rise in pending home sales, softer builder confidence, and mixed private employment numbers. They discuss what active buyers are seeing in the market right now, why correctly priced homes are still moving fast, and how affordability and supply continue to shape California real estate. The conversation also touches on job creation, government spending, taxes, and broader economic conditions that affect housing and mortgage activity. It is a fast-moving daily update packed with market insight, straight talk, and the signature Real Estate Jerky style.
