Something Weird Is Happening in the Housing Market
Is the housing market on the verge of collapse? This video dives deep into why home prices, mortgage rates, and affordability are at crisis levels not seen since 1984. From Wall Street’s growing role as corporate landlords to the hidden zoning laws that make it nearly impossible to fix the housing shortage, we uncover the structural issues driving the crisis. Discover how housing transformed from a basic necessity to an investment commodity, and why institutional investors are both a symptom and a contributor to skyrocketing prices. We also explore how zoning laws, like single-family housing restrictions, and the collapse of the home-building industry after 2008 have worsened the housing supply shortage. Learn why solutions like denser housing and affordable development face significant resistance and how the “not in my backyard” (NIMBY) mindset has stalled much-needed change. Whether you’re a prospective homeowner, renter, or simply someone curious about the state of the market, this video breaks down the complexities and highlights what you can do to navigate this challenging time.
