The American Dream of Home Ownership is NOT for You | You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy

Living In The Greater Seattle, WA Area with Aaron Morrow Podcast

Private investors aren't taking over the real estate market, despite what some might think. Join us as we tackle this misconception head-on with Aaron Morrow and Bryan Laflame. We promise a thorough examination of the claim that nearly half of 2023's home purchases were made by private investors, and we'll reveal the true statistics. Discover how large institutional investors actually hold a much smaller share of the market—peaking at around 2.5%—using data from Freddie Mac to back up our findings. We also delve into the real impact of I buyers and corporate entities on the housing landscape, providing a balanced perspective you won't want to miss.
Ever wondered how much influence big investors really have on the housing market? We break it down, highlighting that only 0.3% of the market consists of investors owning a thousand or more properties. Our discussion sheds light on misleading articles that inflate investor dominance to a staggering 44%. Yet, in localized areas like Kansas City, the concentration is indeed concerning. We'll examine the role of local governments in regulating this trend and explore the shift of institutional investors into the home improvement and service sectors. Plus, get an insider look at the challenges tech giants like Zillow face in the iBuy sector.
As home prices soar and wages stagnate, many potential homeowners struggle to afford their dream homes. But there's hope on the horizon. We highlight an upcoming Washington state program offering a 20% down payment assistance loan with 0% interest, designed to help those historically excluded from homeownership. Learn about the program's benefits and qualifications and why it's a game-changer for many. Before wrapping up, we share our summer plans, including a brief break and exciting updates to come in July. Stay tuned for warm wishes and our greetings for a great Friday, and don't forget to look out for more details on that fantastic assistance program!
