885: BiggerNews: America's Path to "Renter Nation" as Prices Rise, Rates Stay Put w/J Scott
The US economy has survived the past few years surprisingly well. But there's one huge threat on the horizon no one is watching. With layoffs and bankruptcies already starting to tick up, a new wave of misfortune could hit consumers EVEN as inflation cools, interest rates begin to drop, and asset prices hit an all-time high. What's coming for us that only the most economically inclined know about? We're about to break it down on this BiggerNews.
J Scott, investing legend and author of too many real estate books to name, is back on the show to talk about housing crashes, economic predictions, mortgage rates, consumer sentiment, and the silent threat to the US economy that nobody is thinking about. J knows the game better than most and is the furthest thing from a bubble boy or permabull. He’s got his finger on the economic pulse and uses the most up-to-date economic data to form his opinions.
On today's episode, J shares whether or not he believes another housing crash is coming, how America could become a "renter nation" over the next decade, whether or not home prices will stay high once rates drop, how low mortgage rates could go in 2024, and the biggest economic risk to businesses, employees, and anyone operating in the US economy.
In This Episode We Cover:
The likelihood of another housing crash, especially if America falls into a recession
A silent risk to the US economy that could hit everyday Americans hard
Why Americans are pessimistic about the economy but spending more than ever
The economic "musical chairs" which must come to a stop sometime soon
Why home prices could continue to rise as mortgage rates begin to fall
Mortgage rate predictions and J's forecast for how low they'll go in 2024
The big bank bailout program that could be coming to a close
And So Much More!

It’s a rough housing market out there, folks
A drop in preowned home sales in December was the cherry on top of the worst year for the U.S. housing market since 1995. We’ll get into the causes of the slump and what it would take for the housing market to get back on track. And, a tax deal that would expand the child tax credit is gaining momentum. Then, we’ll play a round of Half Full/Half Empty!
Here’s everything we talked about today:
-
- “What Is an Assumable Mortgage?” Buy Side from The Wall Street Journal
-
- “Expect restaurants to go all in on breakfast this year” from Marketplace
-
- ‘”Super shoes” take their place in the $50B running shoe market” from Marketplace

867: Zillow and Redfin Top Economists Give Their 2024 Housing Market Predictions
With doomsday headlines and lagging consumer confidence, how should you proceed in 2024? Time to get the advice of TWO senior economists! BiggerPockets’ Dave Meyer talks with ZILLOW’s Orphe Divounguy and REDFIN’s Chen Zhao to demystify the latest US economic indicators and provide you with strategies to thrive in this year’s housing market.
We’ll get into home prices, the incoming “affordability correction,” mortgage rate forecasts, and why next year could be significantly better for buyers. But that’s not all. Both Chen and Orphe share their outlook for the 2024 economy, the state of the American consumer, and what could happen as student loans kick back in, credit card delinquencies increase, and cash reserves run dry.
Finally, we’ll end things with Chen and Orphe’s list of real estate markets to watch and the pricey areas that may see a revitalized post-pandemic boom. If you want to know what to expect, where to invest, and if the hot housing market will return in 2024, stick around!
In This Episode We Cover:
Redfin and Zillow’s 2024 housing market predictions
The “weakening” American consumer and what this means for homebuying
2024 mortgage rates, “disinflation,” and where we could end up next December
The “affordability correction” that could help home buyers get their first house
Riskiest real estate markets in America that could see HUGE price cuts
Affordable markets to watch that have had rock-solid home prices
And So Much More!

Is South Korea’s Economic Bubble About to Burst?
We're exploring South Korea's impressive economic transformation, from an agrarian backwater to a global powerhouse. Home to internationally recognized companies and cutting-edge industries, South Korea is a fascinating case study for economists worldwide. In this video, we'll examine the drivers of South Korea's potential growth in the next decade, the obstacles that could undermine its entire economic system, and why this is all so important for the rest of us outside South Korea for our own economies.

Have interest rates peaked - and what happens next?
Have interest rates peaked?
After an inflation spike rudely awoke them from their slumbers, the Bank of England and the US Federal Reserve have shown us that rate hiking can be a difficult habit to break.
But 14 consecutive rate rises into an astonishing run from 0.1 per cent to 5.25 per cent for the base rate, the Bank of England suddenly paused six weeks ago. And then, on Thursday, it did it again.
On both of those occasions, the Fed had also just done the same thing across the Atlantic.
So, are we finally there? When does a pause become a peak? And if we have reached the top of the interest rate cycle, what happens next?
On this episode of This is Money podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert look at the decision to hold rates again and what it means for savers, mortgage borrowers and investors.
Plus, what are Andrew Bailey’s Bank of England and Jay Powell’s Fed telling us about their respective economies – and how divergent are the paths of the UK and US?
Also on this episode, Crane on the Case digs into a how an entirely explainable and obvious error somehow led to a reader facing more than £8,000 of fines and Transport for London refusing to budge… until we stepped in.
Plus, some previous high-flying investment trusts are going cheap, so is this the time to invest? Simon takes a look.
And finally, what have the Premium Bonds and a pop quiz on number one hits in 2000 and 2008 got to do with each other?
Listen to the end if you want to find out why you need to know that the UK number one in February 2008, was Duffy singing Mercy.

How much further could house prices fall?
House prices will continue to fall, says an influential poll of estate agents.
The latest survey by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors found that buyer demand is declining and fewer homes are coming to the market.
Meanwhile, Halifax’s latest house price figures show a £14,000 drop compared to the recent peak in August 2022 and 4.7 per cent fall in the year to the end of September, the largest since 2009.
So, how much further could they fall and are buyers in danger of trying to time the market? Will there be a big pause before a general election next year?
Georgie Frost, Simon Lambert and Lee Boyce discuss the age old favourite of house prices.
This week has also seen the Bank of England sound the alarm over 35 year mortgages – should we be concerned?
Skipton Building Society launches a headline mortgage rate of 3.35 per cent. What’s the catch? It comes as its rival Nationwide has new best buy home loan rates. Could mortgage deals continue to fall?

How high, and for how long?
The markets tried denying that the Federal Reserve really would keep rates “higher for longer”. But in the past week, equities and debt finally seemed to accept that high interest rates are here to stay. That means changes in the prices of assets, but it also has a lot of implications for everyone from tech start-ups to small countries with big loans. Today on the show, we try to think about the new world of high interest rates. Also, we go short small cap stocks and long London’s grocery stores.

Have interest rates peaked and what next for savings and mortgages?
And suddenly they stopped. After 14 interest rate rises in a row, the Bank of England stalled and kept base rate on hold.
A lower than expected inflation number and slew of economic reports indicating the heat was being taken out of the economy were credited with staying the Monetary Policy Committee's hand.
So, will 5.25 per cent now be the peak for base rate or could rates once again start to head higher from here?
And what does the Bank of England's decision to pause mean for savings rates and mortgage rates?
On this week, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Simon Lambert discuss why interest rates were held, what nudged inflation down, what could happen next and what all this means for savers, borrowers and investors.
Plus, what does the government rowing back on Net Zero plans mean for electric cars, EPCs and how we heat our homes.
And finally, if your neighbours can seen into your garden and you don't like it, can you just stick up a very tall fence or do you need planning permission (and risk triggering a neighbourly battle)?
