2038: Why the Single Family Home Market Hasn't Crashed and What's Ahead

Jason discusses the state of the housing market from a scenic location in Medellin, Colombia. He highlights the remarkably low mortgage delinquency rates, the lowest since 1979, debunking predictions of market collapse. He contrasts today's median mortgage payments, even with rising interest rates, to those in 2011-2013 when prices were significantly lower. Hartman dismisses concerns about unemployment impacting the housing market, arguing that unemployment benefits can comfortably cover these low mortgage payments.

And in part 2 of Dean Rogers' interview, Jason discusses the current state of the real estate market, focusing on the reasons why a housing crash is unlikely. He emphasizes that the market is not currently in a bubble, attributing this to factors such as solid lending practices, high-quality borrowers, low inventory levels, and strong demand for housing. He also points out that the shortage of entry-level homes, combined with the lack of distressed sellers and the equity that homeowners hold, makes a crash less probable.

Furthermore, he discusses the multi-dimensional returns of income properties and predicts that mortgage rates may settle around 5% in the future. Overall, he suggests that the real estate market is stable and poised for continued appreciation.
