Summary
In this episode of Real Estate Jerky, Ed Parcaut and Mike Kelly break down national, state, and local housing inventory, mortgage application trends, and the widening gap between markets that feel buyer-friendly and markets that still feel out of reach. They cover Stanislaus County numbers, California affordability pressure, mortgage rate movement, and why places like Florida and Texas look much easier for buyers than many California cities. The conversation also touches on refinancing activity, private-sector job growth, AI's role in productivity, and why so many buyers still feel homeownership is impossible. It is another wide-ranging episode packed with real estate perspective, mortgage insight, and the usual Real Estate Jerky banter.
