This Week’s Topic: Crash Unlikely
Rising interest rates have not led to a significant decline in home prices. What are the factors that have contributed to this resilience? Strong demand from homebuyers, limited housing supply, and a robust economy. While higher rates may slow down the pace of price appreciation, they are unlikely to trigger a crash in the housing market due to these underlying factors.
Last Week’s Topic: Insurance Disaster
State Farm and now Allstate have pulled out of the California market for new home insurance policies. It's happening in other states. Darren and Joe discuss this situation and use a client's very recent insurance challenge as an example.

Last Week’s Topic New Ice Age
The US housing market is experiencing an “ice age” with higher home prices, fewer sales, and less inventory. This is due to a combination of factors including low interest rates, high demand, and low supply. This trend may continue for some time as the market adjusts to these conditions.
