July 20, 2026 · 43:22

They explain why multifamily construction does not solve the single-family housing shortage, why foreclosure numbers need context, and how temporary buydowns may help some buyers manage early payments. A straight real estate and mortgage market update with the usual Real Estate Jerky bite.
