Episode notes
Nominal Up But Real Prices Down
- Nominal prices are up slightly but real (inflation-adjusted) prices are down, which signals a correction in real terms.
- Inflation erodes nominal gains, so investors must track real returns, not just headline prices.
Cooling Is Broad-Based Nationwide
- Appreciation rates are decelerating across nearly every market even where nominal numbers remain positive.
- Widespread cooling across regions and tiers reinforces that the market is in a broad correction.
Price-Tier Cooling Varies But Is Universal
- Different price tiers are cooling but upper-tier homes have softened the most in momentum, not avoided decline.
- Low- and mid-tier homes show larger negative shifts, highlighting uneven pressure across price bands.
