On this episode of Housing News, we welcome a reoccurring HW Media face — Mike Simonson, the founder and president of Altos Research. During the conversation, he gives Clayton a glimpse into the data that he is seeing during this really pivotal first week of May 2023, shares his summer 2023 forecast, and talks about where he thinks will end the year in terms of total active listings.

He also gives Clayton some lessons on how we can best use data to understand what's happening in the housing market for agents, LOs and investors and also shed some light on some misconceptions and ways that people often use real estate and housing data incorrectly.
