For weeks leading up to this meeting, investors had a glimmer of hope that the historical rate hikes would end and that we could finally look forward to a time of reasonable mortgage rates and sustainable home prices. But, even with high rates, the housing market has taken some surprisingly strong wins. We’ll get into today’s top real estate-related stories in this episode! Welcome back to another correspondents show where our “housing market data without the hysteria” expert guests bring in some of the most hard-hitting headlines that could affect real estate investors.

Next, Henry hits on how home price drops just hit a new threshold not seen in over a decade! Back on the residential side, James breaks down the good news for February home sales, but soon after, Jamil and Kathy touch on commercial real estate stats that have banks, lenders, and investors starting to sweat.
