❎ Election 2024: The Fork in the Road for the U.S. Housing Market

In this episode, we delve into the potential impact of the 2024 U.S. presidential election on the housing market. With expert predictions suggesting contrasting outcomes based on the election results, the stakes are high for both homebuyers and investors.

We explore the implications of a potential win by Kamala Harris, focusing on her history of supporting affordable housing and rent control, which could offer more opportunities for first-time buyers despite challenges posed by inflation and interest rates.

Conversely, a Trump victory might lead to a market boom driven by lower interest rates, promising short-term economic stimulation but raising concerns over long-term affordability and inflation.

Beyond the election, we discuss underlying trends like remote work, technological advancements, and climate change that are reshaping the housing landscape. This episode encourages listeners to stay informed and consider how these larger forces might influence their own housing goals, urging a broader perspective beyond the election cycle.
