She exposes the \"rage delisting\" phenomenon where stubborn sellers refuse price cuts despite a massive inventory buildup, explains why the housing shortage narrative is a myth perpetuated by builders seeking a bailout, and warns that prime mortgages are now showing weakness for the first time. Melody argues that a 35-50% price correction is needed for median household income to afford median home prices, with the first wave of 10-12% likely over the next couple years. She reveals a massive shadow inventory wave from boomers that could add 20% more homes each year for the next decade, discusses how investors are fire selling (one investor dumping 300 rentals in a single market), and predicts the back half of 2026 could be \"really ugly\" as forbearance programs expire. Her advice: sellers should cut prices quickly to avoid cutting further, while buyers should stay patient because \"the supply is coming.\" Links: YouTube; https://www.youtube.com/@m3_melody X: https://x.com/m3_melody Substack: https://m3melody.substack.com/ Timestamps 0:00 Introduction - Melody Wright returns, spring selling season 1:59 Housing market assessment - \"Take three of another year frozen\" 5:28 Distress bubbling under the surface 8:15 Why the shortage narrative is so pervasive 11:46 Tracking 86 markets now 15:05 Most worrisome areas - The delusional northeast 16:11 Boomer stubbornness and shadow inventory wave 16:38 How big is the shadow inventory? 20% increase for next 10 years 18:22 How far do prices need to…","meta_description":"Melody Wright, author of M3 Melody Substack, returns to the show for an in-person episode to discuss the frozen spring selling season and reveals disturbi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2314,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-julia-la-roche-show-5842803/episodes/369-melody-wright-35-50-housing-correction-needed-first-wave-10-12-coming/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-julia-la-roche-show-5842803/369-melody-wright-35-50-housing-correction-needed-first-wave-10-12-coming.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
