The housing market has been a wild ride since COVID hit, with remote work driving people inland for cheaper homes, though rising interest rates are making it tougher to afford. Surprisingly, despite talk of a housing bubble, foreclosures remain low, suggesting people aren't panicking just yet, despite increasing credit card debt. It's a mixed bag out there, but that's the market for you – always keeping us guessing!
Today we discuss:
- Market expectations of rate cuts not materializing as previously predicted
- Market prediction metrics and data gathering from betting sites
