Summary

The housing market is currently at a massive crossroads, and frankly, the old rules don't seem to apply anymore. We’re seeing a landscape of shifting interest rates, a potential reset in supply, and a level of volatility we haven't seen in decades. That’s exactly why we're going to hear from Dave Meyer - the Chief Investment Officer at BiggerPockets and a grounding voice in real estate data. We’re going to dig into the forces shaping the market right now in 2026, and then zoom out to look at the bigger trends that could influence how we buy homes in the years ahead... both as individuals and as investors. Today we discuss:

Defining “The Great Stall”
More analysis needed before purchasing a home
Factors leading to reduced housing demand
The impact of interest rates
Adjustable rate mortgages gaining in popularity
How investors should approach real estate today
Strategies for getting a 10% discount
Recency bias on homeowners and investors
Rising vacancy
House hacking
And much more!
