Will Home Prices Drop in 2024? What Zillow’s Co-Founder Sees Ahead

Zillow co-founder Spencer Rascoff joins us this week to talk about housing and the state of tech and investing in private markets. Although mortgage rates have fallen from their peak in 2023, there may not be enough inventory to bring in potential homebuyers. Rascoff tells us about what he sees as potential obstacles and successes for the housing market. And, as an entrepreneur and a venture capital investor who has co-founded some of the most well-known companies in the U.S., including Hotwire.com, Rascoff also tells us how he’s reading the markets as we get into 2024. Plus, the World Economic Forum begins this week. The annual meeting, held in Davos, Switzerland, brings together cultural, policy and business leaders "to shape global, regional and industry agendas." From AI to unexpected economic optimism, WSJ deputy editor in chief Charles Forelle will discuss what he’ll be looking for from the conference.  Further Reading Investors’ Hope for 2024: A Return to Long-Lost Normalcy  The Hidden Force Pushing Mortgage Rates Down  Facing Housing Shortages, Cities Try Cramming More Units on Lots Misinformation Seen as Top Global Risk in Year of Pivotal Elections  For more coverage of the markets and your investments, head to WSJ.com .
