## Resource

Everyone thought the housing market was about to take off this spring… but the exact opposite is happening. Sales are down, inventory growth is slowing, and first-time home buyers just hit the lowest level ever recorded. So what’s really going on? Is the housing market actually stalled, or are people just misunderstanding what the data is telling us? In this episode of The Educated Homebuyer , Jeb and Josh break down what’s happening in today’s housing market, why this spring hasn’t looked the way many expected, and what it means if you’re trying to buy a home right now. You’ll get a clear, no-hype explanation of the trends shaping the market so you can make smarter decisions with more confidence. If you’re watching mortgage rates, waiting for more inventory, or wondering whether now is the right time to buy, this episode will help you cut through the noise and focus on what actually matters. ✅ Ready to become a homeowner?
