1551: Moving Trends, Leslie Appleton-Young, Chief Economist of the California Association of Realtors CAR

Jason Hartman speaks about the trends that come from coasts, specifically California. Zillow shows 2 million renters will become homeowners, and U-Haul has metrics that lead us to believe that more people are leaving NYC. What does this mean for investors in stable, linear markets?

Jason Hartman speaks with Leslie Appleton-Young, vice-president and chief economist for the California Association of Realtors. Leslie brings several charts and graphs to the conversation to share some staggering movement in California's real estate. In January, 2020 was shaping up to be a knock out year, but due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we are now looking at best for "a quick recovery." Leslie and Jason draw correlations between the 2008 recession and recovery to the recent, seemingly, self-imposed recession.
