Warren Buffett just dropped a blunt take on why real estate may not deliver the same upside as stocks. Is he onto something—or overlooking key factors that still make the housing market a smart bet? We’re breaking it all down on today’s headlines episode!

Meanwhile, a huge wave of properties is quietly changing hands. Boomers are passing down homes, but are Millennials ready for the keys? For many heirs, this transfer of wealth is proving to be much more than they bargained for. Sky-high renovation costs, large mortgage balances, and rising taxes and insurance premiums can make inheriting a home feel more like a burden than a blessing. What’s more, without proper estate planning, families could face unexpected capital gains taxes or get stuck in probate court.

Our panel of experts unpacks these challenges and what every family should know before passing down property. Plus, we’re tracking new issues like falling vacation home demand, rising Treasury yields, and their potential impact on the housing market. Are new real estate investing opportunities hiding in plain sight? Let’s get into it!
