I mean, we can say, we can call them cyclical all we want, but the reality is teacher

you and I know this, there's a huge demand for homes.

I mean, we've underbuilt in this country for, you know, the past 10 years.

There's millions of homes that we need to have.

And so even if prices come down a bit, I think they can't go down too much because the

demand will certainly come in and fill that.

And that's especially true if we get a little bit break on the interest rates maybe next

year.

I'm Chris Hill and that's Motley Fool's Senior Analyst Matt Argusinger.

There are some popular narratives in real estate.

Interest rates are rising, home sales are cooling, and nobody is going back to the office.

But some companies are challenging those storylines.

Deeter Woolard caught up with Argusinger to talk about how investors can watch the home

building cycle, a few potential opportunities in home improvement stocks and reats with

well-covered dividends.

You know, I think a lot of real estate companies are actually kind of challenging the narrative

right now.

Real estate, I'd always polarizing people are rushing in, people are rushing out, there's

a bubble, there's not a bubble.

Right now it feels to me like that activity's kind of headed out.

Me, I'm staying in, I'm rolling with the cycles and doing just fine over time.

Matt, why do you stay invested in real estate?
