Why Are Homes Pricey in the U.S. and Abroad?

The home affordability crisis isn’t just an issue in the United States. This episode, Sean hosts a roundtable discussion with Nerds from Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. to explore what is driving up home prices in each country — and what consumers can do about it. Our countries might have more in common than you think.  To send the Nerds your money questions, call or text the Nerd hotline at 901-730-6373 or email [email protected]. Also, we are running a book sweepstakes ahead of our next Book Club episode. In August, we're talking with Emily Maloney, author of "Cost of Living," a series of essays based on her own experiences about the cost of health care and medical debt.  To enter for a chance to win our book giveaway, send an email to [email protected] with the subject: “Book Sweepstakes” during the Sweepstakes Period.
