On The Market
Shownotes Transcript
Foreclosures), mortgage rates, housing prices; if there’s one person to ask about any of it, it’s Rick Sharga, Executive Vice President at ATTOM, who handles** housing market data and forecasting** all day, every day. Rick is often seen as a housing fact crusader, taking down the clickbait hype that many mainstream articles love to post. While other media channels push fear,** Rick focuses on facts**, showing what’s happening in the housing market, whether it’s good or bad news.
Rick knows much more about home foreclosure numbers than most, so we took time today to ask him exactly how rising interest rates, crushing unaffordability, and **shrinking home prices **affect today’s homeowners. Could there be a foreclosure crisis) on the horizon? Or, are homeowners in such a solid position that the chance of getting foreclosed on is slim to none? And if you’re looking to make some money during this declining market, which strategy would work best as buyers and sellers get desperate?
We also take a chance to get Rick’s opinion on **where interest and mortgage rates could be heading **over the next year. Rick lays out the exact scenarios that could cause rates to plummet or rise multiple percentages and how homebuyers may go through a rate “reprogramming” to get hungry for houses once again. If you’re holding, buying, selling, or renting in 2023, this is the data you need to know!
