In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down what the announcement means for mortgage rates, housing demand, and real estate-related stocks.

    We cover how markets reacted, why rates falling into the 5% range matters for buyers and investors, and what analysts say could happen next if mortgage bond purchases move forward as planned.

  • Would a Trump Ban on Institutional Buyers Actually Help Housing Affordability?

    Would a Trump Ban on Institutional Buyers Actually Help Housing Affordability?
    Jan 9 2026

    A major political headline sent shockwaves through housing markets this week after President Donald Trump said he plans to ban large institutional investors from buying additional single-family homes. The proposal, framed as a move to restore housing affordability, immediately hit single-family rental stocks — but would it actually help buyers?

    In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, host Kathy Fettke breaks down how markets reacted, what the data really shows about investor activity, and why many experts argue a ban could backfire by limiting new construction and rental supply.

    Using insights from Redfin, HousingWire, and National Association of Home Builders, this episode separates political rhetoric from housing reality — and explains what investors, renters, and homebuyers should actually be watching next.

  • New Survey Finds 6.45 Million Inadequate U.S. Homes: What It Means for Housing & Investors

    New Survey Finds 6.45 Million Inadequate U.S. Homes: What It Means for Housing & Investors
    Jan 8 2026

    New data from the American Housing Survey reveals that 6.45 million U.S. homes failed to meet basic living standards in 2023 — including 1.65 million classified as severely inadequate. These homes lack essential features such as reliable heating, safe electrical systems, running water, or have major structural problems.

    In this episode of Real Estate News for Investors, Kathy Fettke breaks down what the survey tells us about the quality of America's housing stock, where inadequate homes are most concentrated. We also examine the growing divide between renters and homeowners, the financial pressures facing households living in inadequate housing, and what this data signals for investors focused on renovation, value-add opportunities, and the future of housing supply.
