Unlock the mysteries of the housing market with Eric Finnigan, our esteemed guest and VP of Research at John Burns Research and Consulting. This episode peels back the layers of how immigration, the “lock-in” effect, and our shifting work culture are reshaping where we live and invest. Eric, a seasoned expert who's weathered the storm since the 2007 financial crisis, breaks down the economic tango between homeowner decisions and market fluctuations. Engage with us as we parse through the entangled web of homeowners clinging to low mortgage rates, regional inventory shifts, and how the convenience of remote work is influencing the American dream of homeownership.Then, we tackle the looming "silver tsunami," sifting through the facts and fiction about the anticipated wave of homes flooding the market as baby boomers pass on. Eric provides a fresh perspective on the generational battle for housing, evaluating the financial prowess of boomers and the impact of their decisions on market dynamics. We also zoom in on the home builders' crusade against zoning and development challenges in their mission to bridge the 2 million-unit housing gap. By the episode's end, you'll have gained a robust understanding of the economic forces at play and the potential directions in which the housing market could pivot, grounded in the wisdom and foresight of a distinguished market watcher.Nothing on this channel should be considered as personalized financial advice or a solicitation to buy or sell any securities. The content in this program is for informational purposes only.
