Is the housing market actually in trouble? All the clickbait articles and doomsayers would have you believe so, but the facts are very different.
Neal walks us through the facts and data surrounding our economy right now and looks at historical trends to predict that by mid to late 2023, we will probably be looking at much better interest rates than we’re seeing currently. People may not realize that in the global economy, the U.S. is still one of the cheapest real estate markets, relative to individual salaries, and Neal explains that we’re actually lucky that we have a Fed that can help correct our markets when they begin to spiral out of control.
