The housing market is shifting, and we’ve got the latest data to break it all down. Home prices are still rising—but at the slowest pace in months, and in some cities, they’re starting to fall. We’ll cover where prices are dropping the most (hint: Florida and Texas are leading the way), why more homes are sitting on the market, and what Zillow’s 2025 forecast means for buyers, sellers, and renters. Plus, with mortgage rates still high, will the housing market stay sluggish or is a rebound coming? Let’s dive into the numbers and what they mean for the future of real estate.

With recession fears mounting, many are wondering: Is the housing market truly insulated from an economic downturn? In this episode, we dive deep into the data to assess the resilience of U.S. real estate. While most homeowners are locked into ultra-low mortgage rates and sitting on record levels of equity, rising foreclosures and surging insurance costs in states like Florida and Texas could put pressure on certain markets. At the same time, a recession-driven pullback in demand could tip some struggling homeowners into delinquency, adding to supply pressures. We’ll break down the latest stats, including foreclosure trends, mortgage delinquency rates, and regional vulnerabilities, to determine how a potential recession could shake up the housing sector. Will home values hold steady, or could a downturn finally crack the market? Tune in for the full analysis. Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!

We’ll first lay out the big picture, examining how tariffs, corporate earnings, and economic data are shaping market sentiment. Then, I’ll share my take on what these shifts mean for investors, businesses, and the broader economy. Are we heading for a downturn, or is this just a momentary market panic?

The U.S. housing market is short nearly 4 million homes, pushing prices and rents to new heights and making homeownership increasingly out of reach. Despite record-high home completions in 2024, it could still take decades to close the supply gap—especially in the Northeast and Midwest, where progress is painfully slow. In this episode, we break down why the housing shortage persists, which regions are making the most progress, and how Realtor.com’s new “Let America Build” campaign aims to cut red tape and speed up construction. Can policymakers fix the crisis, or will affordability continue to slip away? Subscribe to the BiggerPockets Channel for the best real estate investing education online!
