Summary
The U.S. housing shortage has reached a staggering 10 million homes, according to a new White House report. In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what's driving the supply gap, from post-2008 underbuilding to rising regulatory costs, and why affordability continues to worsen. We also explore how potential policy changes could impact new construction, mortgage access, and long-term economic growth. For real estate investors, the takeaway is clear: limited supply continues to support home prices and rents — even in a higher-rate environment.
