info_outlineMichael Zuber and Jason Hartman, are forecasting economic and housing trends for 2026. They discuss several key variables, including the unemployment rate, which Hartman predicts will slightly increase due to automation and artificial intelligence, but argues this will ultimately lead to greater prosperity and new industries. The conversation then shifts to interest rates, with Jason expressing optimism for rates hovering around six percent, partly due to the Federal Reserve’s move back into quantitative easing (QE), which he believes will positively impact the housing market by increasing credit availability. They anticipate modest GDP growth and increased home sales volume for 2026, rejecting crash scenarios and predicting home price appreciation of around 3-4%. They conclude by affirming that inflation is the government's likely strategy to manage massive debt, which they see as a hidden wealth creator for real estate investors through inflation-induced debt destruction.
