Welcome back to another Market Update Monday here on the Real Estate Jerky Daily podcast. I'm your host, Ed Parcaut, joined by my co-host Mike Kelly. In today's episode, we'll dive into the trending real estate topics, from inventory levels to builder confidence, and debate whether these are signs of an impending recession. We discuss the nuances of entry-level home prices, the impact of local governance on markets like San Francisco, and the latest happenings in the mortgage space with Freddie Mac entering the HELOC market. We'll also touch on some lighter moments, sharing personal weekend stories and a few chuckles about past experiences in real estate. So sit back, grab your coffee, and let's chew on the question of the day: Are we heading into a recession because of the housing market slowdown? Don't forget to leave us your thoughts in the comments as we unravel the market's direction. Stay tuned for an insightful and entertaining session on the Ed Parcaut podcast.
